Aren't these things decided by the video ref who has a word in the ref's ear?

Think he's at Wakey

Both games for me. Can't decide which one to have commentary on, though. Depends who the commentators are, I suppose.

Something to do with Lord Derby.

I'm a neutral and I really don't know. Both players were at fault. If I was a ref, and thank God I'm not, I would have given the penalty against Luckley.

I didn't hear the video refs comments. I can only assume that because the challenge was deemed unsuccessful, the knock on was given. But because the ball went dead, the 20 meter restart was given. But then I don't know where Wigan's knock on came into it. Just scrap the captain's challenge.

So if Hudds had taken the tackle and scored on the next tackle, are you saying he could challenge it then?

Can't challenge unless there is a stoppage in play. So he couldn't challenge it immediately.

That went back.

No. Challenge was unsuccessful, bit the restart was the same whatever the decision.

I think for penalties like that should be given. Too many players just loiter around in an offside position.

It was deemed to have been a one on one ball steal before the 2nd tackler joined the tackle. Not clear from what we saw on the TV.

Ah. Didn't know that.

I've heard it's goose blood.

Nothing like the fog we used to have at Odsal in the winter.
