Quote: Andy Gilder "The position of the tackler - in or out of the field of play - is irrelevant.
Hall clearly repositioned the ball after the ball carrying arm had hit the floor. The only thing that could have saved it from being a double movement would be if Charnley had lost contact with him and not completed the tackle, as Hall was still moving.

Im not sure that is right,
I have seen many many a try given in a similar situation and the referee has justified it on the basis that whilst the player is in motion, they are free to pretty much do what they want, if the tackle isnt complete, it isnt complete.
What you seem to be saying is that there is a period of time between Hall's ball carrying arm hitting the floor, and his momentum stopping where he is tackled in that he cant make any kind of effort, but he also isnt tackled in that his momentum can allow him to score a try or be pushed in to touch, and if Charnley loses contact with Hall he somehow becomes not tackled again.
If Hall was tackled and couldnt make that second effort, then Hall was tackled and Charnley cannot make the second effort to put him into touch.
I think Ganson got that decision wrong, i dont think he was tackled, i dont think the tackle was completed so Hall was entitled to put the ball down.
He was however in touch.
