I said at the time that Broughton could have got closer to the posts, at least 2-3 metres anyway, despite the Warrington cover coming over.

He did the same the other week against Widnes if you remember, good try but just ran straight and did not bother to get nearer to the posts to make the kick a bit easier for Danny.

Mind Danny would have backed himself to make the kick 99 out of a hundred

haven't seen the re-run yet but the biggest giveaway for me was the crowd, they celebrated wildly at the ground because they expected it to not be given, it was one of the few times we realised there was any warrington fans there, i thought the south stand was a mural

could broughton have made it easier for him under the posts?

Give him a break mate it was a great try. Crap kick from Brough he should be kicking those.

I wasn't sure on the VR decision. The terrible attempted tackle by 5 of our players was just as bad as the decision.

Re: Video referee decision : Fri Aug 29, 2014 7:13 pm  

having now watched the re-run i can confidently say that that was never a try, bentham guessed where the ball was and awarded a try!
he should be held accountable but we all know he wont be, a shocking decision at the ground and still a shocking decision, video ref's should not be awarding tries on the basis of guesswork, not for the first time bentham has screwed us.

Re: Video referee decision : Fri Aug 29, 2014 7:14 pm  

can't blame broughton at all, broughy should and usually would kick those with his eyes shut

I've looked at the zoomed in picture- it shows nothing of the sort. You can see the ball - but not whether it's touching the line. Funny how even those fans of teams such as Cas for whom a draw was the perfect result don't agree it was a try. If it was the other way round neither would you.
