we could start with the "ball played man" in the lead up to our first try?

When you see the 1st replay from behind the sticks aizue clearly steps with his right boot it's just on the 2nd replay which doesn't show the whole picture by the way that it looks a harsh call on rovers.

So on Sky tonight Justin Morgan was very gracious in defeat <:snigger>

We need to consider ourselves very fortunate that we got the rub of the green, what with starting with a depleted side, losing a handful of players to injury throughout the game, going down to 12 men at a crucial stage of the game and getting absolutely caned in the penalty count

I'm not overly sure what Morgans gripe was exactly. Any ideas?

You try bending the rules you get caned, if Sinfield is persistantly offside he should get persistantly penalised, which tonight for a change he did.

Thats probably the only poor call against Hull KR all game though. And to be fair, Morgan was more aggrieved at the Webster no try. Which was the right decision.

I'm struggling to see what else there was

Even the clueless ones on SKY pointed out that Leeds getting penalised for not having two feet on the line was pedantic to say the least. And that if it was implemented properly it would cause havoc in the game and ruin matches

It would be like a referee turning round and giving a penalty for feeding at the scrum.

No qualms there but when both sides are offending and only 1 gets caned it gets annoying.
H-T-H.

I'll watch the SKY version tomorrow and make my mind up, maybe Sinfield makes it look more obvious than most!!
H-T-H too.

TBH I wouldn't really say that any of the penalties given against us were incorrect.

The only question is whether HKR were offending as well. But as Sky, like everyone else, follows the play there's no way of knowing whether we were doing anything differently from them.

I know Stevo and Eddie don't like to talk about the other code but I'm surprised when they were debating Webster's no try that no-one suggested copying the way the referee refers decisions to the video referee in that sometimes he will ask if there is any reason why he should not give the try.

As for the second set of 6 leading up to Ablett's try, i seem to recall the kick was very early in the tackle count and that the try came only a few plays after the kick so you might have even sneaked that try in without the ref's call!
