I don't know? Perhaps because I've played and watched the game for 22 years? Is that the answer?

The decision was that he lost control of the ball as it crossed the line, 6'' nearer and it was a certain try just another 50/50 like the cats first try in my eyes it was a double movement his ball carrying arm hit the floor then left the floor to then ground the ball, my mate watching says he thought it was a try interpretation of the rules i suppose......but the damage is done another lost game. another poor performance dumb rugby dont ya love it well i know TM does cos he seems to drill it into them everyweek

A 50/50 maybe, so was the possible obstruction in the 2nd half that went the way of Cas. Another 50/50 was the Catalans try disallowed under the post, you won't moan about these because you have them rose tinted glasses on. As for the Catalans alleged double movement, read the rule book he went over in one complete motion. Not at any occasion did he raise his arm to project the ball over the line.

Since when did your mate sat at home become an authority on the game. I think you belive what you want to belive.

You lost because the best team won, accept it and move on.

Congratulations you hide it well. perhaps its the same reason that if we lose i know that quite alot of wakey and leeds fans will be on here, wheras if we win they are notable by there absence. And the sort of people that go trolling on there local rivals boards have no objectivity when it come to discussing there local rivals, so there opinions are worthless.

Total rubbish you have no objectivity when it come to looking past you own team!! That's the problem here mate not Leeds or wakey fans trolling, but cas fans calling for the refs head or saying there is an rfl conspiricy against your club not to make the 8! Get a grip cas fans!! If you wanna blame owt blame you shocking defence as Catalan dropped the ball twice with a clear run to the line, had a BOTD try not given and had a try disallowed for a forward pass. So if cats had a bit more luck they would have 4 more trys!

spot on that mate. its arrogant to say that other peoples opinions are worthless just because they are not the same as theirs. though i don't support cas, i was there yesterday. thought the best team won, didn't see much wrong with the ref all in all. you are correct, catalans bombed at least 3 clear chances or things would have been worse. catalans seemed the fitter team. when i was stood at the back of the sticks, some of the cas players were absolutely shot halfway through the second half.

Myself and a few mates watched the game at my house, all wanting the team from Yorkshire to win, but the way the fans turned on the ref, who incidently had one of his better games was terrible, I thought Cas fans were better than that, 1, high tackles were coming from both sides, 2, Chase screwed up, 3, Owen lost control of the ball, 4 It wasn't a double movement for Cats try, 5, Best team won...............move on!

It wasnt a knock on - Stevie Wonder could see that.
Who did Chase think had tacled him -- the Invisible Man.
There was nothing confusing about the incident -- Chase cocked up.

Chase was tagged on the back by Clayton so I can only presume in the heat of the moment Chase thought he had been tackled by a Catalans player!! Understandable in the heat of the moment

The reaction to Mr Smith isn't just about yesterdays performance. It's been building up for a couple of years now. His consistency in the 50/50 decisions he gives against Cas is quite something. I've not seen anything like it since the Connolly twins
