Bentham was pretty much average all game and didn't seem to favor either side from what I saw. No doubt it was a penalty for the McGoldrick high shot

Golden point is too much of a coin flip for such an important game.
Should be golden try and if no try then whoever is ahead after 10mins then another 10min if still same.

If that was the rule yesterday what would you do if you were Kevin Sinfield, choose to go for goal to edge infront incase match lasts 10mins or go for a try?

Personally I'd go back to the old system of 10 mins each way extra time and if there's no winner after that, then go to golden point. TBH I think Leeds would have won yesterday using that system - looked to have more energy left and were making more ground upfield than we were.

For an important game the rule should be any penalty like that should have gone to the
video ref ..I have seen the incident 4 times and my opinion it's wasn't a penalty

Well Mcgoldricks tackle can't have been that bad the rfl haven't even looked at it, on the other hand however Watkins has been cautioned for use of the knees on Rangi ... you must remember the incident ... you know the one we didn't even get a penalty for

I remember it well.

But you do know Watkins will get off with nothing more than a slap on the wrist and a fine so it won't make a difference anyway.

Too many times I've come away walking away from games shaking my head at the ref this season. I remember a time when I walked out disappointed with Cas for losing.

he has got away with it charged under 15.1 but given a caution he does not have to go to the panel he's a letter saying naughty boy don't do it again

At the game it was way down the other end of the pitch and I thought that it looked like a simple ball steal. However, having seen it on tv I've got to say it was high.

For once, (and I'll be the first to admit that I have in the past) I'm not knocking Goldie as I thought he had a few twicthy moments but otherwise a cracking game, and I hope he doesn't take the final moment too much to heart!

McGoldrick's tackle wasn't that bad, and I don't think anyone's ever suggested it was. He was wrong-footed and reached and grabbed. Penalty, but penalty sufficient.

I think Watkins was probably harshly cautioned to be honest, if you watch in slow motion then you can see he made contact with the knees, but watched at full speed it happened rather quickly to be a pre-meditated act. I've seen worse when players are dropping on a ball on the ground most weeks to be fair.

1) Wouldn't that make the game a thrilling spectacle. 2 officials had a decent view of it, why ask a third?

2) I've watched it a few times now. It was a penalty every single time I watched it. Are you sure you're watching the right incident?

Regarding Goldy's tackle... initial contact was clearly shoulder and then onto the ball carrying arm, at best another 50/50 call that went the 'big' club's way. But meh - it's done with. Move on. As someone said earlier we had chances to stop them getting in that position, chances to win the game in normal time... if this or if that counts for nothing now.

Regarding knees into players and similar actions - in my mind any penalty should reflect the potential for significant injury. It should have nothing to do with intent, which is far more subjective thing to decide upon. It shouldn't matter whether he meant it, only that he did it.
