When did they change the rule? When Flynn had the ball reaped out in 2 on 1 tackle over the line as he was about to place it down, i assumed it would be a penalty try, not merely a penalty 10 metres back frm where the incident occured.

Agent Silverwood taking orders from Dick Turpin and the RFLiars.

Worrincy already had hold of the ball and was trying to steal before the second player joined.

Therefore doubt is cast on whether the attacking player would have scored. As he could easily have been held up. A penalty try can only be awarded if an infringment of rules CLEARLY STOPS A GUARANTEED SCORE!

Had worrincy been the second player to join the tackle and stolen the ball then a penalty try wold have been considered. As the second tackler knows
he is no longer allowed to steal and such a move could stop the score.

Well done for bringing some sanity to the 'lets bash the ref' fans.

Has your sense of humour deserted you today?

I think it was last year they changed the ruling that if a 2 on 1 steal occurs in the in-goal area then it isn't a penalty try, just a penalty 10 yards back.

I don't think Bradford deserved their penalty try today however.

i think bradford were done by that penalty try as they had scored it should have been a try with a penelty awarded as well an 8 point try would have won them the game

No it wouldn't.

So what your saying is it should have been a penalty try

Stupid change to rule if true, what's to stop all defending teams from reaping the ball out if they know it will stop a try when they know the worse that will happen is a penalty on the 10 metre line, especially with Widnes, because the odds are against them scoring from the resulting penalty. We need all the penalty tries we can get.

your joking right?
i thought it could of even been a sending off, the player was guarenteed to score, and the player intentially took him high as he had no other way of stopping him as he would of been brushed off, could of been a jaw breaker. Credit to the bradford player who played on and scored anyway

Bizzare rule change when you think abouty it.

SHould have scored from the attack though

Only happens if the player is fouled after the act of scoring. In which case the try would have stood where it was scored then an extra kick taken from beneath the posts. So wouldnt have been a guarenteed 8 points anyway.
