Utterly ridiculous decision. What happened to being able to hear the audio? Several angles seemed to prove a try to Makinson there, with none giving any evidence of any reason to not give it.

The only possible reason? The score and the fact it's on TV? Are we taking a step into it being Super League Entertainment?

Abysmal.

He clearly had the ball gripped in his left hand as it was grounded.

So we now have 2 VR's and they still can't get the decision right!

Whats the point of having VF when you got two monkeys operating it?

Might as well scrap the whole vr concept, ganson yet again manages to get a decision wrong withall the angles aavailable.

Certain try for me. Wrong decision by the VR

Shocking decision. I'm struggling to see the point of a video ref at the moment. Every week there's a poor call, what's the point if they can't get simple decisions right.

Might as well scrap the whole vr concept, ganson yet again manages to get a decision wrong withall the angles aavailable.

Several wasted minutes to get the wrong decision. Time to bin this pile of crap.

Appalling decision.



Can't see how they could not give it. As much as I hate to say it I think there is an element of not wanting to 'kill' the game just before half time even if it was sub-conscious from the video refs.

And on the subject of Super League Entertainment, am I the only one who thinks the delayed kickoff time was just to build hype. There must be, what, 7500 there? 8000 tops? How many turnstiles have they got, 3?

Sadly the games going to hell in a hand cart. And how the clown Ganson can ever be allowed to officiate or have any sway in decision making after last seasons Magic episode is beyond belief

Is Ian Smith one of the video refs?

I would love to hear them explain it, is it the score? Is it the fact they're looking for a reason to give the opposite decision to the obvious one, just to be controversial and get people talking?

Keeping their mate Marwan happy. I mean there's been 40 minutes of rugby played, yet the cameras been panned in on Marwan for atleast 5 minutes of those. Even if we win 50-0 something needs to be done about these decisions, dreadful.

Bad decision - again !!

Wonder whether they're scared of a mouthful from the 'Doctor' ?

My wife piped up with 'The guy on the left made that decision'.
Her point was that it was him taking charge and overruling the other guy, She said you could tell that by the body language of both, the shaking of his head when the other guy made a comment and his 'swagger' as the button was pressed.
Can you guess who was on the left?

How hard is it for full time refs to understand the concept that benefit of the doubt goes to the attacking side. To disallow a try, you need to be very clear that it IS NOT a try.

The clue here is that if you have to spend 5 minutes looking, then there must be doubt. If there's doubt, then you have to award the try. This is not a difficult concept.

If I'm honest, that's an occasion where I think two refs have decided that this is an important game for Salford, and allowing saints to kill it by half time doesn't serve entertainment purposes. That's understandable. But it's also unprofessional and has no place in our game.

Agree! Though this decision had two officials cocking it up.

I think the problem is the ground. It's hard to get to, hard to park at. They then compound it by not having cash turnstiles, making 4,000 people who turn up expecting to pay their way in queue at the ticket office. Getting out is a similar problem, you wait an hour if you park in the official car park before you can get out. Nice little ground but they need to work on things if they are serious about expanding the crowds long term.

TBH if there is a difference of opinion what do they do. They can't both be right.
Which one is the boss?

They was waiting for Ryan Giggs's entourage to arrive

....and the first replay they show AFTER the decision clearly shows the hand on the ball. As for listening to Phil Clarke...well....how much has Marwan payed him

Off camera they do rock/paper/scissors.

Koukash has clearly paid the commentators to be so far up his ass they can't see straight

ha that was the worst part. The full-speed replay was more conclusive than this mega slowed down stuff they torment us with

Difference of opinion = doubt, and as stated above the benefit goes (or at least should according to the laws of the game) to the attacking side.
