| Away from Hall's try. what about his attitude in going damage limitions for the percival try?
He drove and bust it up from the tap, got the ball stolen (fairly), Wilkin cleverly drew the play right to Hall's empty wing and Percvial strolled in. But Hall tracked back like hell to make sure he was left in the corner not strolling under posts. if he had done they'd have gone 2 scores up (due to an easy kick, thankfully Walsh missed the touchliner) and the outcome may have been different.
Positive try scores get the headlines but it's the stuff that's a little harder to notice that make the difference ultimately.

Great observation. Compare with McGuire's poor reaction to the ball steal, waving his arms at the ref rather than trying to effect a tackle.

He did the same last week for the Robinson no try.

You don't want me as a ref.

Ironically, had Garbutt not made so much of a do or die effort to track back then Hardaker would have had an outside chance of getting to Percival and preventing the try being scored at all.

| Quote DHM="DHM"The ball never separated from his hand, so it was a try.
There might also have been some argument that there were two sets of Saints hands in there trying to strip it which could have been a penalty try.
On such small margins these tight games are decided. Mind you to some Wiganers highlighted on another thread, it's all a giant conspiracy by the RFL. RFL bosses specifically controlled the bounce if the ball into Ryan Hall's hands against Hudds and then they used their special emergency powers to make 4 defenders fall off Hall as he was escorted to a he try line on Friday night.'"
Not to be a d1ck, because I am supporting Leeds and sitting in your end at the Grand Final, but this is the point at which Hall loses the ball if we're looking at it objectively. Like I said, I'm not disputing that it's a try under the current interpretation, but to suggest he never actually loses control is absurd. There is separation between the ball and Halls fingertips here - if you can't see it, drag it into a new tab. He scores with his arm hairs.

As Tony said it was Kylie but you're right, though can't be critical of a forward making that kind of effort, especially one at his age.

The ball is on his hand and against his body. I'm not sure what more control you are wanting.

No it has left his hand, that much is very clear.
It is at best against the lower end of his wrist, more his forearm though.
Stop trolling and admit it, it doesn't matter now, you're in the final and can admit it without repercussion.
