I am old enough to remember the game in the cup against Bradford, I think it was Holdsworth the ref and it was pre video games.
It was Robin Whitfield wasn’t it?
Neil Summers intercepted near his own line and went 65 metres up field where Gary Spencer brought him down 5 metres from the line. Whitfield who was 40 metres behind play awarded the try, thinking Summers had made the try line. He then very arrogantly refused to alter his decision despite knowing he’d made a huge mistake and the try was the difference between Wakefield losing or winning and progressing into the CC Semi Final
