I could dive full length, place the ball down first and then let my knees touch the ground afterwards. In fact, I've done it and I've seen hundreds of players do it.

Seemed strange to me when he penalised Fasavalu for not playing the ball correctly on one occaision yet let dozens more go unpunished.
It's the inconsistencies of referees within games that winds us fans up.

How on earth Ainscough's second try wasn't pulled up for a forward pass I don't know.

That was absolutely laughable. The player who made the pass was a meter behind the line and Ainscough caught it about a yard past the line.

The Graham 'play on, play on, four, play the ball' moment was an absolute joke and coupled with the knock on which was missed at the end it totally undid the good job he had done up to then.

The momentum had stopped, Clarkey showed that on Sky, through tears. Hock is a dumb player at the best of times and raising his elbow instead of trying to slide over was simply stupid.

How can anyone say it was a fair try apart from the forward pass .

They are inferring it shouldn't have been a try because of the forward pass (but once that was missed as they often are) there was nothing wrong with the grounding or legs in touch.

Where's the problem with that?

IIRC Two of Saints 'tries' in last years Challenge Cup Final were from passes which were miles forward. Nothing said then eh?
