It was at the play the ball trying to get up as far as im concerned. The tackle was complete with the Leigh players rolling off. I understand nothing could be done and as I have stated, I feel it was only picked up afterwards but if it was a clear knock on, Captains challenge or not, I would have bellowed knock on at the PTB and get the ref to look at the whole tackle. The ref no doubt still would have given try only for it to be chalked off. Anyway, onto this weekend is another set of fixtures and i am sure the refs are briefed about making errors but it happens. I though would welcome it though as the game is getting a little grubby and untidy again.

All depends if a Leigh player had made the ref aware as it was an 'on field' incident. To be honest, i don't think any Leigh player did make the ref aware but if they did, he should have gone to the VR Captains Challenge or not. One thing it shouldn't have been is 'play on'. He either knocked it on or it was a Penalty to Wire for a strip in a 2 man tackle. Yes, it didn't result in loss of game, but from that resulting play the ball came 4 points. The rest is History. Ball strips are beginning to get on my nerves now as most are not given. Bring it in and bin the 6 again. Just penalize them !!!

Should only be used for small infringements resulting in a turnover or a penalty. Refs seem to have bottled it this year in regards to ball stealing and rip outs, instead stating it’s the ball carriers responsibility. That can be easily turned over. Saturday we saw the most blatant knock on at the ptb resulting in loss of game. Mistakes are made but these infringements are easily challenged and rectified as mistakes do happen. It also adds spice to the game and keeps ref on their toes in regards to their integrity as we all know what coloured shirts the likes of Kendal and Moore wear (Joking !)

O Donnell, Moylan and Ipape are with us next year. Leutelle will stay if offered as he is the big reason for Moylan staying and I feel both Asiata and Amone will be big money retentions. Still plenty to play for. I can see us upsetting Catalans on Friday which will hopefully kick start the season. Lots of twists turns and lack of form to come for some sides. A decent Centre, a good 6 and a front rower would complete a good side, and you don’t need to go to Australia to find those !
