Sat 10th May: CCSF: Hull KR v Catalans Dragons KO 14:30 (BBC)

[NRLandSL]

I think he’s made the right call there, but not sure how he was able to decide which hand touched the ball first for this try but not for the last one.

[StandOffHalf]

I don't like how the VR decides something and then keeps jogging back, almost questioning himself after the fact. It undermines the decision.

[Harry Stottle]

The grub starts it and gets a free kick.

[StandOffHalf]

Silly offload from Bousquet. They were on top there. No need for it.

[bratman]

Some challenge from Whitehead

I would say, that's been trimmed. That ball isn't on the ground at that point.

[Dave T]

Whitehead is just a bit of a tool isn't he? He'll be lucky not to be binned for the way he's speaking to the ref.

[Archie Gordon]

Interesting. Captain's challenge in CC? Is that a thing?

[jacksy]

Clear as day he hits him in face.

[andyscoot]

Silly from Whitehead to challenge that

[StandOffHalf]

Whitehead seems to be becoming a bit of a moany grub in his dotage.

What on earth was he challenging there? He'd given Lewis a facial and a push.

[The Phantom Horseman]

For me that incident was all Whitehead trying to rough Lewis up and goad him. Ref and VR got it spot on, and Whitehead's reaction after the VR decision suggests he knew it.

He does some whinging at the ref since he’s come back from the NRL.

He seems to me to have gone down the Chris Hill route, and become a bit angrier/dafter as he's got older, rather than more sensible and wise.

[OldRedEyes]

Lewis getting in Whiteheads’ head was as good as a 40/20. 

[bratman]

Good semi final though, plenty of action, full stadium and good atmosphere!

Dan Marino pass - he took it in front of the passer

No remember this was an uninspiring choice of stadium. Modern ground full of fans isn't what people want to see.

Exactly. No wonder there's so much misery on this thread.

Possibly but at the point the ball was on the floor both hands were on it so that is simultaneous grounding. 

I would have thought that the fella who had his hand on first would count as the grounder, but I'm not sure.

I’ve noticed in recent games he’s starting to look like that older player who can’t quite do what he used to and now either forces the play and makes an error or over reacts

[Odsal Outlaw]

This is an enjoyable game, camera work is awful tho and the Aussie commentator is very poor.

[Barry Badrinath]

Fatigued passing for passings sake there
