Should through them tainted specs away mate.... will spoil your entertainment

Some exerts taken from the Rugby League laws Book:

SECTION 10
KNOCK-ON AND FORWARD PASS

Accidental 2. If, after knocking-on accidentally, the player
knocking-on regains or kicks the ball before it
touches the ground, a goal post, cross bar or an
opponent, then play shall be allowed to proceed.
Otherwise play shall stop and a scrum shall be
formed except after the fifth play-the-ball.

After a player, from the field of play, knocks on into his
opponent’s in-goal area and he or a colleague touches down,
play is restarted with a scrum where the knock-on occurred,
except after a play-the-ball subject to Section 12, Law 10.

SECTION 6
SCORING – TRIES AND GOALS

Try – How scored 3. A try is scored when:–
(a) a player first grounds the ball in his opponents’
in-goal, provided that he is not in touch or touch
in-goal or on or over the dead ball line.
(b) opposing players simultaneously ground the ball
in the in-goal area provided that the attacking
player is not in touch or touch in-goal or on or
over the dead ball line.

When an attacking player fails to ground the ball correctly,
play continues unless an illegal event has occured , e.g. a
knock-on or the ball goes dead.

SECTION 11
THE TACKLE AND PLAY-THE-BALL

(e) When the ball touches the ground it must be
heeled (i.e. backwards) by the tackled player. The
ball must not be kicked or heeled by the player
marking him.
The ball is in play when it has been played
backward.

You Guys decide!?

unlucky guys but got to agree with you that you was robbed
thought you was the better team tonight
great performance and great game to watch

You made some bad errors tonight but aside from that i thought nearly every video ref decision went against you and cost you the game.
apart from the ones already mentioned imo Ainscough did ground that ball on the line before it bounced out.



OOOh Look. A Hull FC fan telling us that Rovers shouldn't have won. He just posts this into every fans forum after each Rovers victory!

Great game to watch as a neutral and you should have had the game sewn up by half time, but that doesn't take away from the fact that the refs decisions are having a massive influence on games. Making them full time has made no difference what so ever. We have video refs to help make the correct decision but even the clowns in control of them get it wrong. To give Watts the try was a joke, he had no control of the ball and even gave himself up by hitting the ground in frustration.

Gutted for you guys.

that so called try ganson awarded was never a try in the memory of man..it was a blatant knock on..fat little ganson should be demoted after a decision like that.
you can bet if it wouldv'e happened in the middle of the field baldy bentham would have blew up for a knock on.

my god lad, you just cant handle the truth
CAS WERE ROBBED
but it suits soopa doopa league so nothing will be said about the two clowns, oops officials

Ganson will probably get a present from Cummings not demotion. We are getting payback from the Catalan game last year

Not seen the incident yet, but if he made contact at the same time as the ball hit the floor, as the rules state it should be a 10m scrum to Cas, or a restart if it was the 5th tackle. Sounds like you got done. Wakey fan.

I belive for it to be a knock on it has to leave the players hand and travel forward and hit anyother object (other player, ground, post pad etc) but if the ball is regathered by the same player before it hits another object then its playon.
So in this situation the only question in the VR's mind was did the player have control of the grounding.

Thats the way i understand the ruling, not seen it again and did not get a good view last night so can't say if it should have stood, but you are correct.

I agree. At the very best you could say he 'regained control' (i.e. got downward pressure on the ball ) as it hit the ground. Therefore it WAS a knock-on and never a try.
