Quote ="Scarlet Pimpernell"It pains me to say it but the decision for Swift’s try was taken out of his hands by the on field referee giving a try. I could not see if he grounded the ball but in all probability he did. What I would ask is how could he he even get into that position because we had enough cover. With regards the second try if the roles were reversed then I would have expected a try to be awarded.
We can go on blaming the referees, the pitch, bad luck and injuries but we lost to a weakened Hull team who have a cup match on Sunday.'"
I've said it before and I'll say it again.... we need to adopt the "oonion" rule where the ref passes the decision to the video ref and simply says "Try or No Try", then that way the decision is based purely on the video footage and not having to find a reason to overturn the original guesswork from the on-field official !!
