Maybe your 4 defenders should have kept him out.

They probably did.

[dkw]

Ignoring the call that's abysmal defence by Warrington to even give him the opportunity, there's 4 defenders round him.

[WN83]

Moore never sees that ball down, he just doesn't. He's blocked when it gets anywhere near the ground and then runs round and it's not even close to being on the ground. 

 

Really poor.

  Ref hadn't a clue ,touch judge with fantastic vision says a try.And the video ref didn't have a clue.From the camera angles shown it was inconclusive.

[Dave T]

Hull KR the better team in a close first half. Our ends of sets need to be better, but we do look slightly dangerous when we shift it.

I thought it was good refereeing 

I can understand why people like it. I prefer the intensity to remain.

That channel has really struggled, especially Drinkwater. 

[DavidM]

That rule needs changing . That must have been a guess and it’s binding the VR

Follow you  2 replies, get a grip.

Video ref can't win in that situation. Handed a hospital pass by Moore

[Sports Prophet]

Gotta be six again

Your kicking game has been very weak, lost the position battle partially due to it.

I thought it was excellent defence. They stopped him getting the ball down over the line.

He wasn’t, there was a player in front of him. We really need to get rid of refs call.

We need better cameras.

[Exiled Wiganer]

My tip for Wire would be to get a couple of HKR players sin binned. 

[Sports Prophet]

That could have been the match there. HT 10-0

[Leyther_Matt]

Ironically the best angle was the Sky replay immediately afterwards where you had a much better view of the ball throughout but wasn’t looked at by the video referee

Haha, maybe...but he really shouldn't have even had the opportunity.

To be fair, the cameras weren't the issue there.

Nonsense of a call and such a shame this is what people are going to remember from tonight 

The optics were of arms under the ball as he got to the line.

Saying No Try on-field is how those sorts of things should be reffed. You then let the VR see whether there is any evidence of the ball on the try-line.

Wrong way around by the on-field ref. I think that might be the game.

 

[Click]

I'm happy to give the ref benefit of the doubt and say the TJ said it was a try and he went with his call. 

Otherwise I can't understand the on-field call. 

People often forget that there is a whole officiating team, not just the ref and the VR.

[SUPERSTUD]

Garbage decision by Liam Moore. No way that he had a good enough view to send it up as a try. That push pressure on Jack Smith not to over rule. Moore should have sent it up as no try and then let Smith decide either way.

Possibly but we need sharper and brighter pictures - other sports manage it but our tech hasn’t developed in 20 years.

[Sports Prophet]

I don’t think anyone can conclusively say that ball wasn’t grounded. Don’t we still have benefit of the doubt in the case for these circumstances?
