11 May: CC6: Bradford Bulls v Leeds Rhinos KO 2.30pm (BBC)

Might as well just ditch the rule. Seems like you can do what you like until the referee has called held.

[hindle xiii]

I'm happy in a way because for the first time in a while I give a .

[Denton Rovers RLFC]

Didn't that get knocked forward not backward from that kick?

[OMEGA]

Newman, no try!

Ball carrying arm hits the ground with 2 Bulls defenders in contact with him. He cannot then raise the ball carrying arm and advance it over the line to score.

This is the very definition of ‘Double Movement’

I can forgive the Ref for not seeing the arm hit the ground but after 9 or 10 views of it the VR has to get it right.

 

[johnh1]

All Child needed to do on both occasions was check whether the ball carrying arm had touched the ground whilst being held. Both occasions showed that it had. Disgraceful decisions by Child.

[Denton Rovers RLFC]

phew, held him up anyway

[JonM]

Reckon Merrin had a point about the ball steal there.

What is the rule if the BCA has touched the ground but in the same motion the arm comes up?

[Denton Rovers RLFC]

Exactly right nobby, shoulder charge and then a swinging arm, should've been 10! Thaler is being very lenient to Leeds!

Leeds are given a try.

[Futtocks]

The referee's trying to make it look like a proper contest by keeping Leeds in it.  

[johnh1]

Wow. Officials wanting Leeds to win this. That was a yellow card for Hurrell at least.

[bobbruce]

Think Bradford need to score next to have any hope of holding on.

Doesn't the arm come up without any active 'movement' aside from the momentum of the body?

And again Thaler lenient, that should be 10mins after already having warned Leeds for backchat!

[snapski]

Thaler reffed well, but next time needs to bin Leeds players who mouth off.

[weloveyouwakefield2]

Ben Thaler being consistent, if you push forward at the play the ball and lose the ball it’s a knock on!

[Just Browny]

Some clever players in Yorkshire.

[wackojacko]

Dissent penalties are absolutely unacceptable. Just don't be stupid.

[Wildcat]

Merrin seems more interested in winding up Green than actually trying to win the game for Leeds. 

Pathetic.

[Just Browny]

Did Handley just attempt a quick lineout?

[Denton Rovers RLFC]

GET ED Thaler you cheat No way is that a pen, clear knock on!

[Denton Rovers RLFC]

Justice for Bradford there

[Denton Rovers RLFC]

Be interesting to see what the crowd is, big derby CC match and all

[Man of Kent]

24-18 Bulls after 64

Don't say that in front of Scotchy, his last four posts about old Trent have described him as 'very good', 'great, 'fantastic' and 'fantastic'.

He has seen something I haven't.
