I was in the end zone of the west stand and to me he touched down before his foot hit the line...........sorry but that's my honest opinion.

North Stand his foot was on the line then he touched down.
My mate Bob is also convinced his foot was on the line.

A snipet from the Whitehaven News

boss Ged Stokes interview

The only question mark against Lavulavu came when a heavy tackle on Leigh speedster Stuart Donlan was placed on report. But Stokes reckons there was no intention to hurt the full-back, who went on to play a major role in the match.

“I thought Taani got stepped, threw out an arm and the bloke dived,” he added.

Hard to dive when your head is bent backwards I thought.

Being in the North Stand and about 20 m away it was an appalling decision by the ref.......... Did anyone see Thug Jackson going in with both feet when we scored by the posts... the ref had a word but no more......

I was within earshot after the try was scored and heard hobson tell the ref to sort jackson or he would,and yes his foot was over the line for their try.

Having seen the game on dvd , I've got to agree about some of the peculiar decisions made by the Ref , especially in certain instances where he just chose to totally ignore the linesman.

Seemed like Haven had 2 players binned for the same offence and although we had a better penalty count for , than in the Fev game , seemed like Haven rarely got punished for lying on and interference after the sin binnings. Meaning no more players binned.

Lavulavu's cheap shot on Donlan was dispicable , he wasn't fast enough to make the tackle so chose to stop Donlan in whatever way he could , legal or not . Hope something is done with the on report via a disciplinary

Foot on line when the ball bounced up and he collected it, in play when he grounded it.
