Interesting comment from Wilkins in the highlight show to the effect that England look at their most dangerous when Hill and Clarke are on the pitch together.... the future is bright, the future is PnB!

what I did like about Clark's run - where he clearly should have passed - was he picked out the winger who had his back to the defence and ran at him and was creating a three on one. That winger was never ever going to tackle anyone...unfortunately for Clark he ran on the outside of Greg Inglis and not much gets passed him...

fortunately in Superleague he wont play against the calibre of Inglis....ever....

on the game...... England should have butchered that Aussie team......in they end we were clearly robbed...its a shame

Having watched the "try" several times, I would have been gutted if that had been awarded against Wire. However, the refs explanation for not awarding a try was a load of old pony.

Try minimum requirement 3 things.
Controlling pressure
Finger tip contact
Blade of grass grounding

I think all 3 of the boxes were ticked by Hall

What it doesn't say is
Celebratory attitude
That is what the Aussies are using as a justification

I'd have more chance having a pooh in the Queen's handbag, than that "try" being allowed by the video ref.

An Aussie team being knocked out of the comp (assuming the conversion would be successful) with a debatable try, before all their group games being completed. NOT A CHANCE. He was NEVER giving that try

that celebratory thing was a joke. I've seen players this year in the NRL celebrate "tries" that have been both short of the line and knocked on and all done with a foot in touch. If Refs are swayed by the quality of celebration we are in a pretty poor place....
