its a slight difference

one which according to Thaler you dont need to score a try

I guess what I'm saying is your right

No try for me either - i cant see how the officials came to the decision at all

Just looked at it on SLTV. It's not the best view but it's a heck of a lot clearer than the in goal judge could ever have seen. I agree, looks like Smith gets the last touch, but the touch judge has the best view by a long way. I have no idea how the in goal judge sees a try and the touch judge doesn't.

I've also just looked at it on SLTV & agree that in the absence of slomo it's a very hard call to make but would suggest that there is a case for benefit of the doubt to Hodgson.
However, as I think has been said earlier on this thread & to balance our indignation re "that" try, there is no doubt that the pass from Smith to Hall that led to the kick for the equalising McGuire is at least a metre forward.
So you win some & you lose some but possibly the Giants have more to moan about than we do.

Just watched back about 12 times on the iPlayer, frame by frame and Hodgson never touches the ball - big mistake by young Ben IMO.

Indeed. I realised the RFL had changed some of the absolute requirements for having full control and downward pressure but I thought you still had to actually touch the ball at some point if you wanted to be awarded a try.

Or you could be Danny McGuire upside down, in full control of the ball, touching it down in full view of three cameras on a sunny afternoon. In which case apparantly it's no try.

Monsieur Alibert is fluent in many things, unfortunately what constitutes a legal RL try isn't always one of them.

I don't have the advantage of that technology nor did Thaler hence my comment re benefit of the doubt.
Look at it in real time & then tell me honestly could you see any reason to deny the try? Remeber b o d works in favour of the attacking side not the defence.
