Last disallowed Try Question : Sun Aug 08, 2021 7:38 pm  

Tough loss. Lots of heart shown.
Question on the final disallowed try question.
Liam Hood is clearly offside when the kick goes up but is he then not played onside once Ryan Hall makes contact with the ball up in the air ?

(Also think the HKR try was a knock-on in the air, into the Leigh player, who then knocks on again, prior to the ball then going wide for the try. Not the backwards fumble that was looked at).

Totally agree my thoughts exactly! Games hinge on these decisions!

A couple of decisions were contentious , but Vete was a disgrace , he goes for the young lad Forster I think it was , then he swears at someone as he is coming off .

What has age got to do with it? He is a Leigh player the same as the other 16. Players don’t go into a tackle thinking I’ll take this easy as he’s only a young kid. Kendall was inconsistent Sidlow should have been in the bin for head high on Simms. The rovers head highs were no worse and both resulted in sin bins. Placed 75 minutes with 16 players 18 minutes with someone in the bin, 2 of which reduced us to 11 and you still could not win.

Some players DO look for the younger players and the smaller ones to hit , because they know they won’t retaliate , not many used to hit Stan Owen when he played ,or Kurt Sorensen or Kevin Tamati.

If you look Sldlow clearly uses his shoulder in the tackle as well .

All forwards will look to either tackle or run at if the have the ball, young or smaller players given the chance. Always have done and always will do. Why introduce players from a previous era. All clubs have had their hard men, problem is if they played now they would spend more time in the stands than on the pitch.

I’m just replying to your statement , Players Don’t take the Easy option of going for the young kid , they DO , or the small one , it’s human nature , just the same as in school , and will always be like this , bullies don’t go for the biggest kids .

You obviously misread or misunderstood my previous post. I never said they don’t take the easy option. I said the don’t go into contact saying they will take things easy because it is a young player.

Ok I apologise for my misunderstanding , I respect everyone’s opinion whatever their views are , anyway I was happy tonight , yeah we lost , but at least the effort was there to be seen .
And I don’t think we will be relegated anyway .

Not if the proposed system is introduced. You’ll have to wait until the end of 2022 season for that pleasure, it will only delay the inevitable. I’m afraid I cannot see you finishing 10th out of fourteen. You will need almost a new team. Effort will not be enough you will need skill as well. The likes of Joel Tomkins will not be enough.
