Ball bounces forward off chest and try given??

Yea whats going on??? I couldnt believe they even looked at it.

Unbelievable

Bl00dy ridiculous

There will be players with arms out stretched knocking the ball over the line and then diving on it.

Shocking, but within the rules according to Sky.

It's a good job it's against Widnes or I'd be outraged.

They're going out wide again.......

"THROW IT AT HIS CHEST!!!"

Did they explain the decision at all? Seemed a bizzare one to give...

And the scorer looked off-side.

Not really the issue here though is it

No, I concur. But, it is another gripe about a poor excuse for a try.

Slightly off topic but still Championship, how many teams qualify for the play offs?

I expect the top 6 will probably all end up on 42 points the way this season is going...

What are the play offs ?

You're getting boring now.

EDIT - Penny's just dropped, please ignore me.

(I originally thought it was another pop at 'the system')

I didn't realise Leigh were so far off them they couldn't even make them out in the distance.

Off the chest is not a knock on,so if a try is scored after it touches the chest is deemed a try.

At last we saw the real Widnes shown on tv tonight. A shambles without their superleague loan signings to prop them up, and a massive away following of around 150.

Quick, give them a franchise.

This was a reference to Leigh's current league position and the probability that we will be visiting Blackpool and White hart lane next season , so why am I being boring ?

Great post, well done.

Half a team missing and a 2 and a half hour journey at half 7 on a Thursday. Erm......

Indeed, Please go back and read my rather belated edit old man.

We were missing four key players, not including any loan players now departed.



The star of the show last night for Barrow was Jamie Rooney. He's on loan from Wakey, mate.

HTH

On what grounds do you think the try should have been disallowed?

Indeed, the ball of the chest isnt a knock in. Only the head or the hands is it a knock on.

Mind, you think thats mad, this week the Review panel thought that it was Paul Whatuira's own fault he got spear tackled.

It is obviously in the rules but I think a rethink is needed when hands and head are a knock on but hitting the chest in the middle of these body parts (with arms out stretched ready to catch) is deemed ok.
