Addy "knock on" that was a ball steal, Wakefield get a penalty and score that set.

Ball bounces off the Bradford players neck/chest no try.

Ball steal at the end of the game.

There's 3 off the top of my head.

Those knock ons happen all the time and it looks different slowed down
Clearly off his shoulder - if you listened the shoulder within the rule book can cause a knock on
1 on 1 by the time it happened

Every one knows the rules before the league started.

Or are we saying scrap the gf as Leeds finished top and that Bradford are complaining that leigh have not been promoted.

It's a game get used to it

Re: Million Pound Game : Sat Oct 03, 2015 3:54 pm  

if Addy had kicked that penalty, the game would have probably gone into extra time, who knows then?
Lowes does, have some points, the ball steal i thought was a big and wrong call, but to blame their defeat on that one incident was crass, they had a chance to level the game,even win it if they chose to run that penalty.
and if they had won and got back into super league i doubt he would have slagged the system off.

not sure which disallowed try he's referring to though??

but yes, it was a major dummy spit!

As much as Jimmy Lowes should have kept that under his hat, I can see his point. It would be like the team at the top of the football championship who have played well and won loads of points, having to play a team from the bottom of the Premier League who have played poop all season, but still have a Premier League squad on big wages.

A year ago Lowes was in favour of the new structure even going so far as to say it makes it easier for his club to gain promotion.

To be so outraged now. Having made little to no comment on it until now. Just after having been beaten in a close game is a tad immature and childish.

Re: Million Pound Game : Sat Oct 03, 2015 3:57 pm  

He can't complain about the structure as in a league structure leigh go up

Re: Million Pound Game : Sat Oct 03, 2015 3:57 pm  

so that's both Bradford and Leigh stropping because they didn't get promotion, citing the very system that they were in favour of 6 months ago

Re: Million Pound Game : Sat Oct 03, 2015 4:02 pm  

Wakefield really are the turd that will not flush. Still, Jimmy Lowes is fuming, so every cloud...

Re: Million Pound Game : Sat Oct 03, 2015 4:06 pm  

I actually feel for Lowes and completely understand his annoyance at the disallowed try. The ball bounces off his chest and his hands are nowhere near the ball and yet it's given a knock on. Where is the difference between that and when somebody uses their body to stop a ball before picking it up after it's been kicked to them by the opposing team? When that happens they get to play on yet if it happens when you're attacking it's considered a dropped ball? How about last year when Monaghan was awarded a try after Myler chucked the ball at Currie's head? It then bounced forward 10 metres for Joel to score. Try given. What really is the difference between a ball unknowingly hitting your head and unknowingly hitting your chest while your arms are down? Not enough imo.

I did not know that Bradford loved leigh so much

Re: Million Pound Game : Sat Oct 03, 2015 4:16 pm  

Best end to a championship season in years. Well done RFL.

Feel for Bradford but it could be worse, they could be Leigh!
James Lowes needs to grow up and to learn some respect.
