This is starting to sound like the one straw you've been able to grab at.

How can it have been 100% certainty if he had to look at it 20-odd times?

You know the rules. Unless it's a clear-cut error, the on-field decision stands.

We did a great number on Murdoch Masila. He is there main strike weapon but Wigan got in to him before he could build up a head of steam and rattled him time and again. He will know he was in a game this morning.

Likewise with Vatuvei, too.

Most of our first team back and we play the best rugby since February when they last played together.

That's true although I was far more worried about Masila who's been fantastic this year. What a great chance it was yesterday for Tom Davies to play up against Vatuvai. He did everything asked of him.

Sam Tomkins 169 metres
Tom Davies 180 metres
Anthony Gelling 163 metres

salford's defence was awful. I'm amazed you didn't score 50

we could have but there were 14 of them

Didn't get to the game due to holiday but watched game on tv.
Agree with most comments on MM, ST and TD in particular. I also thought that Sutton played well and appeared to play longer minutes which hopefully will continue.

The last couple of games we have played a much more uptempo game and we look more dangerous across the park. Hope we can keep it up for Friday and give Leeds a good tonking

I don't suppose this makes it any clearer, but this is what grounding the ball for a try is....

.
a) Placing the ball on the ground with hand or hands, or
b) Exerting downward pressure on the ball with hand or arm, the ball itself being on the ground, or
c) Dropping on the ball and covering it with part of the body above the waist and below the neck, the ball itself being on the ground.
