not gone through to many replies but the penalty was a correct decision and cleverly played for . basic really play to the referee

I do think that Cas fans get really over hyped with the ref and it being his fault, last night no Smith wasn’t perfect but the big decisions were right, we have seen time and time again Cas play well but not take the game, it could be some kind of mental toughness they lack or just plain bad planning and execution of a game plan, we can guess and assume but only comment on what we see, and I saw a team lose the lead and not recover make silly mistakes that cost them not only field position but points. they gave it their best shot but again came up too short, much much work to be done I hope we have the right people to do that work!!!.
As a note to the Mods I would like to comment on the waky trolls some who are mods themselves who frequent this board seemingly to aggravate and fish, if this was the wakfeld board some of the comments would have been deleted and some posters no doubt banned....I feel that the Mods need to get a grip of this situation and either sort it out or let someone else Mod who will. this is not a criticism just an observation, no doubt I will be heading for a ban for pointing this out but oh hum nothing new there now is there.

to be honest i cant see what the cas fans are moaning about, the chase incident was clear to anyone who knows the game of rugby league, chase collected a loose ball and rather than play on he chose to play the ball after a tackle by a ghost!
everything else i suppose is 50/50 you get them every game and had cas won i doubt many people would be too interested in what the ref didnt penalise catalans for.

Edited for accuracy please don’t generalise.

nay bother, thanks

Maybe they all wanted his autograph

They were waiting for the gates to open

Havent been able to watch the game again yet but could someone tell me what the cas try in the corner was given no try for?

As for the first cats try looked like a double movement from up close, as already mentioned the touch judge seeemed to think so to, i think it was decisions like this that were winding up the cas fans, there was definatley a case for checking it with the video ref, but smith didnt, wheras all but one of the cas trys were checked by the video ref.

For the owen no try which was a correct call owen lost control of the ball before the line! And for the try you thought was a double movement, mcgoldrick pulled the player over the line as he tried to get under the ball! Pelo's movement never halted and he didnt make a second movement with the ball carrying hand to score the try, it was a lunge with his body which alllowed and is not what double movement is about, the second movment has to come from the arm and pelo didn't make one. So no double movement. HTH

The decision was that he lost control of the ball as it crossed the line, 6'' nearer and it was a certain try just another 50/50 like the cats first try in my eyes it was a double movement his ball carrying arm hit the floor then left the floor to then ground the ball, my mate watching says he thought it was a try interpretation of the rules i suppose......but the damage is done another lost game. another poor performance dumb rugby dont ya love it well i know TM does cos he seems to drill it into them everyweek

Did you come to that conclusion when you first saw it or by watching the replay?

Owen try had to see the reply I thought he had scored! Pelo try thought it was a try right away

How did i know you were going to say that i wonder?
