Wow some try that but bet not every ref would have given it and where's the video ref when you need him ?

Why wouldn't it have been a try? pretty clear cut to me.

In goal judge would have been in an excellent position to give that

Only question for me is whether Langi jumped from in field or out of play. Can't tell from that angle as the Wakefield player blocks the view.

Probably got to go with the in goal touch judge's call there.

If I had to say on just the video evidence I would say no try.

If you go frame by frame on the video posted, there is a frame on 7 seconds where the ball is coming down for Langi to tap back and I think you can see his foot would be on the line.

I say 'would' as the view is slightly obscured by another Cats player but a best guess is that it must be on the line.

But... the in goal judge had a clear view and he let it go so we have to say that he would get it right.

Touchie , ref , ingoal ref , that’ll do . They make the decision and on we go . I’ll take that to the VR dissecting it forensically until we’ve fell asleep

It was a try. The screenshot alone doesn't quite prove it but watching the video which it's taken from on Trinity TV does. His left foot left the ground in the field of play, he has already knocked the ball back and his right foot hasn't yet hit the ground. Top marks to the in goal touch judge and the Catalans player but a poor attempt to get the ball dead from Jamie Shaul and complacent running back by Lee Kershaw.

Other decisions were less defensible such as the extreme leniency in giving a yellow rather than red for an aggressive spear tackle which wasn't clumsy technique but a deliberate action taken by the third man in when the player was already stopped. The one that stood out for me was the 6 again given against the crowd, which I hadn't realised was a thing before yesterday. I mean it had to be - the crowd were chanting an obscenity at the referee (which I don't condone as I like to be able to take my 9 year old daughter to matches) for missing the most blatant take out off the ball on Lee Gaskell and he immediately awarded Catalans 6 again when there was no more or less going on in the tackle than pretty much every other tackle all afternoon!

Copy book spear tackle from Chan.  Murphy stayed on the pitch but he never really looked 100% after the hit.  Two match ban given out to Chan earlier today.  What sanction for Tom Grant as he ****s up yet again?
