Sat 3rd Aug: SL: Salford Red Devils v Leeds Rhinos KO 17:30 (Sky/SuperLeague+)

[StandOffHalf]

Shouldn't that have been a 6-again for a Salford player caught in the ruck and contacting the ball? Ref just called play-on..

[Loiner]

Salford tactics seem to be get the ball to Mcdonald.

Or Watkins.

So he can score....

[sentoffagain2]

    Salford needed that before half time.Bringing Mellor on has made a difference .Two ball handlers to watch now.

[Tommygilf]

Such laziness from Salford not being on side there, happens all the time in robotic RL play.

[sentoffagain2]

   No problem with that no try.

[Barry Badrinath]

I think that's harsh, he was reaching out before Miller touched him.

Penalty count even, only one side has received a yellow card for repeat offences.

Scrappy half, too many penalties from both sides. The ref loves the feel the whistle in his lips.

[The Blues Ox]

Such a tight decision that, Miller certainly touching him but its a weak way to complete a tackle.

Also I can't get my head around why Barrie Mc has suddenly started questioning why defenders are in front of the kicker. Its pretty standard as long as the player is not downtown at the play the ball, most teams will look to set off early and give teams 10 yards just to have an organised D line.

Yeah thought the same, he was making his second movement as Miller got his hand on him.

[Chrispmartha]

How is that a knock on?

[Loiner]

How is that a knock on ?

[Hopie]

Giving that as a knock on is ridiculous, one of my main gripes with current interpretations of the rules.

[The Blues Ox]

Could be a turning point there with Salford having all that pressure but the officials totally missing the player tackled off the ball to let Leeds off the hook.

[bromleybulldog]

This referee has no idea of the concept of a  knock on having to go forwards

[DavidM]

Very nice , good finish by Mellor . Uncle David will be chuffed 

[Loiner]

Salford deserved that.

[Barry Badrinath]

Great pass

[Chrispmartha]

We have been absolutely abysmal since the break, incorrect knock on calls or not
