Right decision, cant just walk forward after playing the ball.

Blatant obstruction and short

Parcell appeared to block Smith's arm to stop him awarding a try then.

He could be in trouble for that. It seemed slightly aggressive.

[Just Browny]

That's a very clear cut obstruction.

[DavidM]

VR just used the term ‘ in my view ‘  .

Be interesting to know the % decisions which go against refs call. Of course there's the odd outlier such as Wakey's try disallowed v Cas for something the on-field ref hadn't even asked to be checked for and which wasn't even an offence except in the minds of a few people who've mis read the laws of the game!!!

But apart from that...rare as hen's teeth I suspect.

Can I get in there quick and say...

Are Fev fans really gonna throw stones from their glass house when it comes to owner indiscretions?

I've said nothing wrong just said another which it would be,I've also stated he puts his money where his mouth is and never slagged him off.

Genuine Q: is that how it works?

(I know benefit of the doubt is defined in the laws of cricket because they mention it all the time - is it defined in the RL rules?)

Yes. The laws state that the referee should not disallow a try because they were not in a position to see the grounding of the ball.

If every camera angle is unable to prove conclusively whether the ball was grounded or held up then the try is given.

[EagleEyePie]

Straightforward that call. Ipape's forward movement means the defender can't get to Mellor and Mellor makes contact with Ipape going over. Won't stop people calling it an injustice or inconsistent though.

Not quite the farce of soccer refs being summonsed to the screen. Have you ever seen a ref NOT change their decision once directed to look at the evidence themselves?

[Leyther_Matt]

If someone can please tell me how there is conclusive proof to overturn the ref’s call on that disallowed Leigh try - in particular in comparison to the one that was given in the first half - then I’m all ears.

EDIT - Appreciate it wasn’t the grounding that was the issue, but where is Ipape supposed to go after playing the ball?!

 Oh, is it a different rule that in SL to L1?

[JohnM]

Not over yet. HKR a little off the boil. Maybe Charnley will figure. 

[PEANUT HEAD]

That's amazing video ref overturned an on field call.

There's absolutely 0 evidence that it wasn't a clear obstruction, if that helps.

OK Ipape conclusively obstructed the defender from making the tackle. There you go.

[Gerrumonside ref]

Leigh haven’t given up yet

[Dunbar]

Charnley really has had a fantastic year (and game here).

[Harry Stottle]

Mikey Lewis stood over that tackle with his arms aloft, dah. I think Lewis is a great player but he is also a grub, I would have no sympathy whatsoever  if someone punched his lights out.

I thought it was an obstruction by Leigh's number 9. I've no idea about the grounding as I was unsighted because I was in the kitchen making a cup of tea, so I'm giving the try.

[sentoffagain2]

   Charnley deserved that try he has been superb all game.

[Gerrumonside ref]

Leigh needed to score next, now they need to score again soon, as time becomes a new adversary.
