They certainly won't change the result. They will no doubt make nothing public and give Childs £250 worth of gift vouchers and a pat on the back for trying.

I think we did it earlier in the season when we beat Cas at home didn't we?

Nah, it was back to one.

I think we should be compensated for the Bradford seventh tackle try though. I'd suggest Bradford can keep their one point but we should be given an extra point as they would not have been ahead had they not been given that try from the fourth dimension.

An extra point. That would do me.

You know what, I'd appreciate an apology more than an extra point. Hearing them say they got it wrong and are sorry would be great.

Re: Ian Smith : Mon Jun 13, 2011 3:08 pm  

They're not going to give us a point. It sets a dangerous.precedent.
How long will it take them investigate it. I'll do it for them.

Twenty metre restart
Tackle 1 Lynch
Tackle 2 Kopczak
Tackle 3 Langley
Tackle 4 Sibbit
Tackle 5 Lynch
Tackle 6 Jeffries
Then a kick.

I can't wait for 'never do wrong' cummings' response

Am I right in thinking that Lomax's try was dissallowed for obstruction, even thought the obstructed defender managed to land a full whack on him only to bounce off?

Or was there someone else who was obstructed?

exactly, we are never going to get the point awarded to us, but the admission of a major mistake of a referee, with the ref and his touch judges, plus the video ref - who each should have spotted his mistake - getting a demotion for a couple of weeks would be a start.

Definately not an obstruction. The defending player didnt come into contact with the Saints obstructor (Dixon?) and, like you say, even managed to make an attempted tackle on Lomax.

Both those tries should have been awarded, meaning that the score could have been 16/18 nil at that point.

It certainly wasn't obstruction, the defender ignored Dixon and went for and got the right man. Just he hit him in the neck and couldn't do much to stop him by doing that.

I'm not sure Lomax managed to ground the ball however. Smith didn't even run the tape through, he'd made his mind up as soon as Childs put the square in the air.

Correct, it would never have been a try anyway

Re: Ian Smith : Mon Jun 13, 2011 4:45 pm  

I know we won't get the point back but at the end of the season that could cost us a place in the jostle for home and away ties etc. It would have taken us above the pies on the league table. Could be very costly to us - but never write the saints off. ( No matter how hard they try to put us down)

Just watched the play again on the Superleague Show, looked an OK try for me. Dixon didn't make contact with anybody and Lomax didn't "shepherd" either. So that was 12 points chalked off by I. Smith.
