As usual in the pub with sound off because everyone is watching Leeds - how was that offside?

That is … what is that?

Harsh. He is clearly within 10m and is clearly offside. 

No influence on the try for me though.

[bratman]

Very harsh

[Man of Kent]

Offside. That rule will need a tweak. 

[EastLondonMike]

Two debatable “try” decisions so far. Good contest so far though. Bodes well.

[The Blues Ox]

So we let multiple offsides go during play because players are not interfering and then that is disallowed.

[DavidM]

He’s ran through as a dummy runner , whats he meant to do . If he carries straight on he’s in the crowd

Inside 10m and advancing towards the line.

Harsh, but if its against the Rhinos in a grand final, or Australia against England in the World Cup final, its a no try.

Yes it's still operating- when they aren't on strike .

They said because Ashurst, who was offside, started moving towards the ball

It's the decision of a jobsworth with no common sense.

[Man of Kent]

We could easily tweak that rule so that would be OK in the act of scoring a try if there’s no involvement

Good spot.

What does it tell us.

That Widdop and Gale have fallen away significantly over the last 4 years?

That the bottom of Super League is a higher quality now that it has been in the past?

That Wayne Bennett was a much better England coach than we give him credit for?

Any mix of the above. 

We’ve got better halves than we had then

I thought you had to have some kind of active involvement - which I know the VR is saying by talking about him advancing but, nah …

[The Mighty Trin]

At a barbecue, what the he'll is going on, we losing against Cas? Have we been that bad?

Yeah, but it is the rule. As i l said its harsh  but if that is against my team its no try.

He gave the try 

The offside he just gave against Gale - where Gale was stood 8m away, still, with his hands in the air - was as bad.

[Dunbar]

Think I will exit the thread now and enjoy the game rather than stay on the referee chat.

My general standard with these things are if its against Rhinos/England against Australia what would I think, and for me its offside inside the 10m

No. Cas had a dubious try given and Wakey had a perfectly good try disallowed.

It’s more a rules chat

Jowitt scores for Trin
