Having just watched the recording, that is probably right, although he actually turned and supported simultaneously as Burrow went past him but its hard to argue that negated the advantage from being there in the first place.



That's the pertitant point IMO. By plucking this one out tonight they have opened a potential can of worms, it would probably better for all concerned if this one was put back in the "obscure" cupboard rather than earning a high profile on the refereeing agenda

You really pussied out there young un



NO EMOTICONS!!!

I'm not as convinced as some appear to be that it's a common occurrence and I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see another such obvious example the rest of the season. I guess we'll see.

Id love to know what made that rule even pop into the TJ's mind



Must have been bored on the toilet earlier

It says in the ruls that voulentry tackles are ilegal but you NEVER see them given. Out of interest how many on here actually knew about that rule before the Burrow no-try. Even the Bradford players didn't know.

Whether anyone knows the laws or not it's common sense isn't it? An attacking player cannot possibly be allowed to stand in the defensive line at the play the ball and immediately be in position to back up a break can he?

Ellery made a career of it. If the game isn't on sky that try gets given and noone would have said anything (apart from a few complaints about the last pass)

Any recent examples rather than using what Hanley did more than 15 years ago to illustrate your point?

Well no. Because I never thought I'd have to remember any, but I know I must have seen it. Webb ran a support line and didn't get out of the way, Leeds then went on to "score" on the next play. That can't be the first time something like that has happend. It just never gets picked up on.

Well that's a shame because your case would be strengthened if you could refer to similar situations that have occurred recently that resulted in tries being allowed to stand.

I can't think of any either which strangely leaves me to conclude they're not as common an occurrence as some would have us believe.

The decision, in any case, was the correct one.

Calm down, calm down (in my best plastic scouse) There seems to be some anger here, may i suggest some/all of you get laid/drunk or both
