The decision to award the try was correct. As were the other VR decisions. Gaskell wasn't looking at the ball as he assumed the Hull player had it covered and was about to catch it. He was preparing to effect a tackle ASAP. Just happy to get the 2 points and likely SL survival.

FORWARD PASS
Deliberate 1. A player shall be penalised if he deliberately knocks on or passes forward.

Accidental 2. If, after knocking-on accidentally, the player knocking-on regains or kicks the ball before it touches the ground, a goal post, cross bar or an opponent, then play shall be allowed to proceed.
Otherwise play shall stop and a scrum shall be formed except after the fifth play-the-ball.

Charge-down 3. To charge-down a kick is permissible and is not a knock-on.

Heading the ball 4. It is illegal to head the ball in a forward direction.

Basically, you are determining success in the Challenge Cup is the barometer of Gentle and Radford's tenure..
Ignoring the fact,both had a win ratio in the League of below 50%..
How many of the deadwood players ,have played in the recent thrashings ?

Houghton, Gale, Taylor for starters 400k in wages between them

Houghton wage doesn't count on cap but he's still one of the biggest earners just to tackle

Hood was better than him and he's a ok hooker at best

Away this weekend so didn't see the game but feels like a tipping point in fan sentiment. I really don't see a credible "jam tomorrow" campaign for season passes persuading waverers to renew.

The tipping point had already arrived given the attendance manipulation figure last night

I’m picking up the same feeling. Picking up / retaining pass holders will be based on events on the field going forward. Loyalty and jam tomorrow has been exhausted.
