Not sure. Is the rule legs or torso etc? The line across the pitch showed some of his body was in front IMO. 

Rule is both feet behind the kicker, from a still ive seen he looked onside

[Gavin Harrison]

Bizarre game. Giants looked reasonably good early on but fell apart.

McGillvary had no defender in front of him 3m from line & was in possession, so how is it not a penalty try when they have been given with players not in possession?

Rhinos didn't have to offer much to outflank a disorganised side.

Smith try shouldn't have been given. Offside & within 10. Plus header

Giants looked clueless in 2nd half. Enornous brain fart from Connor.

Really strange game.

Watson is clearly not the only reason why Salford got where they did in '19 & 20.

Post match, he ooked really rattled.

But that's the thing , if you can't definitively rule on a forward pass by VR then in truth you are only guessing at onside , I suppose you have to err on the attack , he was onside to me

Sky ticked all the diversity boxes tonight, a female analyst of colour, a co-commentator with hyporverbal talking syndrome and another analyst who just is impossible to understand.

Hey he's a Bramley lad makes me feel ok listening to him talk like me

Nah a forward pass is far more difficult to judge - a ball can go forward when passed back.

If offside in Football can be definitively ruled then it is just as possible in Rugby. The technology already exists. A forward pass is much more complicated.

Until they start putting lines on the pitch VAR style we'll just have to disagree

Obviously not for the South stand at Headingley , they seem to have no problem

It’s just a fact, forward passes are not the same as off side, did Leigh get pinged for a forward pass or something?

A forward pass is far harder to judge than offside for a VR, that’s whats correct.

Soccer offside is down to players feett on the ground.

Forward passes have nothing at all to do with the ground, lines on the pitch or were players are standing.

A marginal call either way, but the wider point is that the VR (Moore) never looked at it. He concentrated on the left edge players and didn’t seem to notice the players on the other side.

As far as I can see, Leeds have been whacked at home this afternoon at football and women's rugby, and Yorkshire have just lost at home too. Rhinos looking good for the sweep.

Just Browny jinxed  thanks Just Browny

Not read all the chat but James Bentley and Cam Smith were like a rash on Hudds today Nene got the Pom but it was won in D today.

I thought Bentley was a bit scratchy and has been since his return, he did do a good job of winding Conner up though.

McDonnell however has been an absolutely inspired signing, looks all class that kid, Wigan might be kicking themselves at letting him go.
