Dunbar Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Penalty try (d) the Referee may award a penalty try if, in his opinion, a try would have been scored but for the unfair play of the defending team.

It's an interesting argument. That is essentially breaking down the tackle into two parts, the 'fair' part which essentially stopped the try and the 'unfair' part which was penalised. Personally I don't think you can do that as it places even more of a burden on interpretation. My feeling is, if the tackle resulted in a penalty then it is foul play.

Chris22 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 My understanding is that you assess what would have happened but for the foul play. Where I am not as sure is, do you assess what would have happened had Makinson made a fair tackle? If the answer to that is yes, given Yaha's proximity to touch, I do not think it could be said with certainty that he would have scored. If the answer is that you discount Makinson's presence entirely, then it should be a penalty try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't commenting on whether a penalty should have been awarded. I was commenting on the fact that if a tackle results in a penalty then it is a foul, irrespective of whether the initial contact was 'legal'.

Tonka Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 It’s an interesting question about whether you can separate the tackler from the tackle when considering “what would have happened”. I actually lean on the side of saying you can’t assume the tackler would have made a legitimate, try-saving tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Browny Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 If Yaha does that to Makinson, it's a penalty try and a yellow card. If Lineham or Faraimo does it to Makinson, it's a penalty try, red card and three games sat down. Exactly the same for the Matautia punch on Maloney. I will probably get a load of 'lol' emojis for this but we do apply the laws completely depending on whether a certain face fits or not, which is why Ian Smith is probably right when he says he would have gone with the decision we saw last night. I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Dunbar Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Well, I have just been back to my Sky Plus to take a look at the incident again as I had had a few last night. Here is how I see it. 1. In the laws, you cannot separate the part of the Makinson tackle that was fair and the part that was high. So if he was penalised (and binned) it was foul play. 2. So you move on to whether a try would have been scored had that foul tackle not happened. There was no cover defenders who were going to get there in time so the question is would Yaha have got to the line. The key mitigating factor is that Yaha was on his way down when Makinson hit him but he didn't look like he was heading over the sideline to me and so he would have been well within his rights to scramble to the line. All things considered, I think it was a penalty try. "The history of the world is the history of the triumph of the heartless over the mindless." — Sir Humphrey Appleby.

As I said on the game thread, in live play I thought Yaha was heading towards the sideline but the replay showed he had regathered his balance and straightened up.

Derwent Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Wouldn’t have mattered if Yaha wasn’t such a big useless lump. A decent winger would have been horizontal by the time Makinson got there and scored anyway. I’m not prejudiced, I hate everybody equally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether we always agree with their judgements is actually irrelevant. Indeed. Penalty try decisions are probably the most subjective decisions in the game as the law actually states that it is their opinion. The ref and video ref went with their opinion and I am not saying they were bias (or worse), just stating my own.

fighting irish Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I think it's arguable that Yaha would have made it to the line but Makinson's arm hitting his head was the difference between him (Yaha) being pushed into touch or not therefore, it should have been a penalty try. I also believe Maloney deserved some kind of retaliation, a penalty against him, ideally (when Matautia punched him) because he used the elbow/forearm initially but normally a retaliatory clean punch is punished with a sending off, (or at least a sin-bin). While we're at it, what about Maloney's kick to touch being batted back into play by a man who's foot touched the ground (out of play) before swatting the ball back onto the field. Oh and (here's one for unapologetic pedant) what about the last minute ruling against Tompkins for an incorrect 'play the ball'? There were scores of ''roll-balls'' throughout the game, but with minutes to go, suddenly it's a crucially important skill/rule (which just had to be enforced). I was disappointed with the standard of refereeing and I believe Catalans had the worst of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
