There was at no point where every angle showed the ball had not been grounded, if one angle isn't conclusive the rest have to be dismissed as that one angle may have been were it was grounded.

That video ref decision was utterly grotesque. 

When will we ever be rid of this stupid, stupid system where the on field referee's guess carries any weight whatsoever.

Yep, naturally I'll take the win, but its an appalling and unnecessary system. 

Although even with that system I thought there was a clear angle showing no try.

Good game. Think Warrington just about deserve it. More of that please SL.

More fixtures, tire the players out, more entertaining.

[M j M]

Leeds have every right to be absolutely fuming about the difference being a try given by a video ref who could clearly see the ball wasn't grounded.

[Cheshire Setter]

That’ll do. Enjoyable from Greece with a local beer in hand. Hopefully enough to secure a playoff place too.

One angle very clearly showed the ball not grounded then stolen by a Leeds player. It should have been a Warrington ball for the Leeds player getting pushed in touch. A truly awful decision that had a huge baring in the result.

[Mark S]

Some shocking decisions by both the ref and video ref. Kendal evened it up for Leeds by giving loads of weak penalties against Warrington.

If I remember correctly there have been plenty of similar instances since the system was introduced. However, I don’t remember Warrington benefitting from it before today so maybe it’s just our turn to get the rub of the green. Should even itself out over the course of a few seasons

[Mark S]

I hope someone is keeping an eye on O’Connor.

[Chrispmartha]

That VR decision was an absolute shocker, that didn’t cost leeds the game though, Gales game management did, we had two clear opportunities to take a DG and he didn’t manage them at all.

 

Briscoes brain fart didn’t help either

That's not how it works, I have whinged about this from day one. There was an angle which was inconclusive and the VR went with that.

You had twenty minutes which were just Kendall apologising for getting the call wrong and trying to calm down the South Stand. It was a poor decision but plenty went your way afterwards.

[Cheshire Setter]

Warrington have been well below par in the last couple of games but scraped through. Hopefully the form will pick up when it counts.

Can’t be too critical of either team bearing in mind the disruption. I think Warrington have barely trained together since early July.

[Chrispmartha]

That Newman try was all class though, it will do his confidence the world of good after a somewhat shaky return from injury

Do you mean O'Connor, Arthur, or Barrie McDermott? I thought it was a bit much when they stood up as one and sang Marching On Together.

[Chrispmartha]

Even the players knew it wasn’t a try

There were angles that showed he couldn't see it wasn't, that is why since it was brought in I have banged on about it is a a bad idea.

Credit to the Warrington fans for influencing Kendall with a big cheer when Charnley attempted to put it down. If they’d been a bit quieter he may have sent it up as a no-try?

[Bedfordshire Bronco]

Crackerjack of a game - excitement despite the errors and gaping defence issues

The  crowd did their bit to make it sound good too. The fairytale ending for George was fitting

There was an angle - weve just seen again - that was totally conclusive , which isthe threshold . You dont need any other angle . It was a terrible decision by the VR

 IMHO there was an angle that proved the ball didn't go down. It was conclusive. 

You only need one conclusive angle.
