Forward passes : Fri Apr 29, 2011 5:08 pm  

Having just watched the first half of the Cas-Whinos match, I'd just like to let referees know that what everyone wants to see is a referee calling a forward pass when it happens, for example by Leeds on the way to one of their tries, rather than when it doesn't, the first try scored by Cas but chalked off for a pass that was not forward. Silverdud is a joke.

Calling forward passes just seems to be a case of sticking a wet finger in the air and seeing which way the wind is blowing.

I'm getting really disillusioned by these calls lately - it's costing teams points and may well cost someone a cup match or even a final.

How hard can it be?

As I said a few weeks ago Cas are in a false position. They will struggle to make the top eight.

As is normal on here, I was castigated.

Let's see who was correct.

Wow, even for you that is an immense thread derail.

Forward passes = Cas' top eight chances.

When does Lent come around again?

I agree, they are hitting a batch of tough games now, can't see them being in top 4 probably 6th at best.

Accepted, but do you really want me to start a new thread on "the old rogue was right again".
Now that could be really embarrassing for many on here.

I know. I just couldn't believe that invented one and then Leeds threw loads of the bloody things and I think one was called! It affected our game with Wigan (which would have been a draw had the correct call been made) and it clearly affected the first half at Cas (although they looked well off the boil today and so quite possibly would have lost anyway). As you say, though, the incredible ineptitude of touchies and refs to spot a forward pass could cost a team in a serious match. Yet there appears to be no improvement in spite of the volume of noise about the matter. The issue is turning the game into a bit of a joke, not least frustrating for those of us who want to see a fair game of rugby league.

This is a thread about forward passes. If you want to discuss Castleford's fortunes or otherwise then start a thread on that subject or go away.

We are going from one extreme to the next with these forward passes. Hand them on to the Video Ref because the Linesman and Referee's are getting them wrong everyweek near enough.

It was thread about forward passes in a game in a Cas game so it was related or do you want to discuss forward passes in general including Cardiff?

I'd already stated weeks ago that Cas were in a false position due to the fact that they hadn't had had an easy fixture list so far.
