Completely agree

It didn't matter in this case but what if it had. If the rule states that Brent Webb being in contact with the ball makes the ball dead then that is the rule. No ifs. No buts. No 'it doesn't matters'.

Also, I really don't like the way Phil Bentham changed his mind because James Roby told him to. James Roby is not the captain.

Apologies - I honestly don't know why Ian Smith popped into my head there. Clearly I need to cut back on the Benylin for this cold.

I thought both Dixon and Makinson knocked on but what annoyed me more was the blatant Wheeler offside ignored which lead to Shentons scrum try.
I'm just glad we did enough to nulify any more imncompetance by officials in a Final.

Good stuff.

I don't think it was ignored as such by the officials but it was missed by whoever Bentham asked for a ruling from.

I don't know if the question was aimed at just the touch judge or whether he was seeking advise from the VR but either none was forthcoming or the answer he received was 'play on.'

Terrible call that one.

I've seen both Sky versions (HD and 3D) and the BBC highlights and can't recall any of them picking it either. If correct, poor analysis from the combined eyesight and RL knowledge of messers Hemmings, Stephenson, Carney, Clarke, Arthur, McRae, McDermott, O'Connor, Woods and Noble.

At the time I thought the decision was one of the worst I've seen.

20 minutes later I didn't give 2 fecks
