p.s what a terrible decision....

Re: poor video ref decision : Sat Mar 03, 2012 10:18 pm  

The easiest decision of the night was Chases forward pass for the 1st Cas try, but as we all know if it's only slightly forward it's OK. Stop moaning, the best team won.

The first Cas try where Daryl Clark dived over under the posts all by himself? Chase did well there then!

Might be wrong but i don't think that the video referee can judge on forward passes. Sounds crazy but it's been like that for a number of years. Still, if we are using technology for judgement on tries then we should look at everything

I agree the better team won but it doesn't excuse an appalling video ref decision.

You are correct Phil Stone, the video ref cannot rule on forward passes, but because the ball hit the ground, it makes it a knock on, which the video ref can currently call!

I dont see why the video ref cannot make a call on forward passes as imsick of seei g so many passes creeping into the game i currently dont see the point in having touch judges because they are all bloody useless yes i know pot calling kettle black leeds fan complaining about forward passes when we have. Brent 'forward pass' webb but maybe toughening up on them will stop them creeping further into our game

You can't judge the direction of a pass based on a camera angle and we've seen many cases of passes looking forward on camera that have actually been fine from another angle. I think Leeds first try in the second half last Friday proved why the video replay shouldn't be used to judge forward passes though. I was stood bang in line with it and have absolutely no doubt whatsoever that the pass was getting on for being 2m forward, yet on all the camera angles available (none in line) it looked ok. Unfortunately the touch judge wasn't in the correct position either and would've been unable to award it.
