Leeds 3rd Try : Sat Feb 18, 2017 12:25 pm  

Just out of curiosity- clearly a try, but had Leeds been tackled and the game carried on as normal rather than the forward pass, could the ref have brought the game back to check with the video ref ??

no but refs always go to the bunker and if he had gon to the bunker on leigh's 2 no try he would have found it was an obstruction quite clearly

Must admit it's strange he didn't ask the question

well he didnt think it was a try he signalled as much so why did he go back at all did he get a message in his ear hole how many refs do we have these days

yes they do conference all the time if one misses something the other can communicate to him they are all miked up

So Leigh's second try could've been disallowed if the obstruction was picked up? but it obviously wasn't. Danny tickle dropped the ball and kicked it before it touched the ground,but still gave a (free play) then knock on, (no conferring there then). Last week at Cas,Crooks was pushed in the back at speed into Higson which resulted in a knock on from a high kick,(no conferring there either) That could've been a serious collision with a serious injury outcome, and Mr Cummins said crooks was in the way, so it was quite alright . I remember Acton getting a 4 match ban for pushing Flanagan in the back in the middle 8s.

So, do they just confer when they feel like it?............. I don't really know.

BTW - Mr Hicks did reverse a decision last week after giving Leigh a penalty. Obviously someone in his lug on that occasion.

It was a try but as the equal facility is not available at every game every week then surely we should only have one ref and as such I challenge whether the try should have been given

While we're discussing rules and regs , given the new rules for standing square at the PTB , what are people's thoughts on us sticking to just the one player at ' marker ' and the rest retiring back the 10 ?

Nice 'elbow smash' in the face of Ben Crooks when he scored ,by Fatty Cuthbertson.....how many years is it since a 'penalty try' was awarded (i.e. fouled in the act of scoring)

Well i think it's a good idea.There's to much focus on a player being a fraction not square. Apart from the marker,so long as the other players who have been in that tackle, are retiring 10m and don't become involved in play until they have got back 10m,then it shouldn't be a problem. Also i might add that,so long as they're are still moving in getting back 10m,the player at the ptb can't run at the retiring player/s and claim a penalty,because they are making an effort to get back.

What do you consider a player making an effort to get back? One who is facing play or one who is facing his sticks.

He might be looking sideways,doesn't matter. If he is jay walking for instance,then he's not making an effort. If he goes back in the same fashion as the other players,then that should be fine. Scooting from dummy half into a player who is genuinely trying to get back,shouldn't warrant a penalty.
