I was bang in line with it, but I was just frustrated at the time.

I hate Penkywicz he's too good!

It was a joke but childs had to even it up, we looked like scoring every time we got the ball in the first ten or so minutes

Momentum rule?

I saw pass after pass, for both teams which could have been called as forward.

I havent watched the game fully through yet, so I cant really comment on that, only looked at the Harris try so far.

My initial reaction was that it was a try, but after several replays I wasn't sure.

I'd do away with the video ref anyway - more often than not, the camera angles just confuse everyone.

I don't think he got it down over the line and obvioulsy Harris didn't either. However looking at the rule book this morning it says:

[iReferee unsighted
The Referee should not disallow a try because he was not in a position to see the grounding of the ball.[/i

Video refs are classed as the referree for their decisions so i can only think he gave benefit of the doubt for it. I found it strange that all the fev players lined up for the play the ball and only Hicks thought it was a try.

Still thankfully we won and it's in the record books now, so i won't be dwelling on it.

And according to that buffoon Ben Proe interviewing Daryl Powell it was FEATHERSTONE who were hard done by by the video ref!

Think Harris is becomming another Jimmy Lowes - he never stopped having a go at the ref over every decision. It looked like his team mates were getting fed up of him towards the end

In this particular instance, I reckon he went with the "benefit of doubt to the attacking team" cop-out. No way was that ball anywhere near the money line.

If you notice the appointments on the RFL website for forthcoming fixtures it isn't usually a second tier referee who gets the video ref gig at live broadcasts. I wonder if Robert Hicks is being trialled as the next full time referee after the recent interviews took place ???? Just a thought, but think of it this way, if he gets promoted we won't see too much of him in future !!!

I think you're right. Lets make a push to have him moved to super league!

It was short by an easily distinguishable distance.

Ihate the benefit of the doubt ruling.If therse a doubt why should it go in favour of the attacking side ?

Benefit of the doubt is a fair ruling and should be applied. Its just that there was NO doubt there!

That guy makes me cringe beyond the pale.

That is being a little disrespectful to many buffoons out there!

Is he a mate of Harry Gration?

Peas in a pod.

Watched the replay - No Try

It all stinks...keeps attendances down

Is that the video ref's secret aim then? You are so leftfield Jeff

To be fair Daryl Powell didn't take the bait and was very magnanimous.

NO TRY

if it was forward.............i'm santa claus!!

Ben Proe know the square root of nothing, he even started asking penky about darryl powell!!!

how he ever gave it is a mystery.......

was it last season, i seem to remember proe interviewing somebody and asking them what they were doing at the weekend, or something like that

Who ever said you can't get a clear view is talking nonsense. It was short. In fact so short even though you couldn't see all of the ball you still wouldn't give it!

In fact, where is it you can write to Stuart Cummins? I'm sure it was a column in League Express or something. I'll write and ask the question if anyone can find out.
