It wasn't a try but Thaler had to give it such are the ridiculous video ref protocols: on-field ref makes a guess and despite pretty convincing evidence video ref can't be absolutely positive the guess was wrong. It's madness.

Spot on.

I was shocked when wakefield fan Ben Thaler gave wakefield a very dubious try with 9 minutes to go.

Such a fan he took an absolute age to award it even though it was sent up as a try and despite Leeds fans protestations it was not an obvious no try

I don't think it was a try, looked a knock on to me. However, sent up as a try so it had to be given as not enough evidence to overturn the on field decision. If the 'try/no try' farce wasn't in place then it probably would have been turned down. In a non SKY game it probably would have been given. So, a 50/50 call that went in Wakefields favour. They've had their share of 50/50's going against them in SKY games recently and also blatant decisions not even looked at. I think, on reflection, a draw was about the right result. It certainly now makes for interesting times ahead - anyone from 6th down can still end up in the Middle 8's

I see Wakey fans are all over this site and plus the Super League Facebook page and other RL pages doing their usual cryarsing of blaming the ref when they don't win.

I think we'll soon hear the usual paranoid tripe about there being a so-called 'RFL conspiracy' against them getting into the top four.

When they were getting a few results early season against the poorer sides of SL, their fans were hilariously asking on their site 'are we a big club again?'. Now they a scrambling just to secure a place in the top eight.

They are the true 'bitters' of rugby league. With that excuse for a stadium they should count themselves extremely lucky they actually in Super League playing top clubs like Leeds, Saints etc.
