Although the correct decision was eventually made I thought you was unlucky to get that call as I'm with John Kear on this, the replays should be shown in real time, and any tight call should be 'benefit of the doubt to the attacking team', as would have been in a game without cameras. The decisions are too pedantic and really look for a reason NOT to give the try. That play was worthy of 4 points for any team.

I tipped Leeds to win by 8 by the way

In real time Scott Donald looked to have grounded the ball for a try. Slow motion showed he was miles away and it was a knock on by plenty.

You reckon that should have been given?

The Webster no try? It was a scrappy kick through that Ryan Hall should have diffused and avoided this sort of discussion! He made a right mess of it and was lucky that Webster knocked on. It was hardly Ellery Hanley '88 Cup Final material!!

It was the slightest of touches, but he (Webster) did contact the ball, correct decision given.

disagree to that, the donald one never looked like a try to the naked eye at the ground, I guess the TV camera angle may have looked different.

As for the webster decision, no complaints on the decision, but can't help wondering what has happened to sky's invention benefit of the doubt (glad it appears to have gone from the game though!)

Decent run out from Rovers, performed well in the main I thought, Leeds had that little bit more of everything in reserve, that's what comes with a top class team. We will be there towards the end of the season, and that's when the results will do the talking.

Where, top two,top six, top half ,super league :

Had Jakes left hand been an inch or 2 behind the ball we'd have won the game but we coughed up too much possession I'm afraid.

It was your inability to turn pressure into points that cost you the game in the end. You should have been well in front by 1/2 time with the posession and field position you had

Benefit of doubt is only used when the footage is inconclusive. Webster clearly knocked on.
