seems to be a bit of confusion about the rules of rugby here to many of you football fans are mixing up the understanding of the off side rule with rugby, so I hope I can clear this up for you,
firstly you have to admit Webb was stood in the wrong line and facing his own team mates,
it was a nice break from Burrow who then raced passed Webb the rest is off course was a decent one two between them to place the ball down,
I was always taught that you had to get back to the touch judge to put your self on side,
if the try had of stood it would open up teams to place players among their opponents line hoping for the same scenario to happen clearly now you can understand why that try was disallowed you have to get back on side,

the second disallowed try has open up a can of worms for me, the pass was forward and was touched by JJB which again went forward but he hadn't control of the ball so was classed as knock on, as you should know you can't go to the screen for a forward pass but you can for a knock on, bitter pill to swallow but it was the correct decision as a bystander, watch for a rule changing next season now,

its ironic that the game finished in a similar way as the one at cardiff with a dispute about rules by the bulls fans, how the tide as turned

I do hope you have learned something this weekend, if not you can call on the wakey site and we can put you right

thanks monkey

You are VERY Confused. Do you see the flaw in your post?

Who was attacking, who was defending, where was the ref stood, where was Webb?


To be honest, all you've done on the second point is repeat whats already been said many times already this weekend.

apologizes meant the touch judge but then you know what I meant still you can still kid your self that you was right

but you can't debate on the field, you have to abide by what the ref has decided and I think sinfield was lucky he didn't get sin binned as you could tell the frustration was at boiling point

Sinfield is the captain. He is allowed to ask the referee why the try was disallowed.

You do realise you are actually picking an argument with the Leeds fan that had to set all the other Leeds fans straight back on page 1 of this thread, don't you?

No that's right. Of course you don't.

PLEASE KILL THIS THREAD.

Fellow Wakey Fans - you should be ashamed of yourselves, poking fun at our sensitive and emotional neighbours as their dominance (as they see it) on British Rugby League begins to slip. We all know the next few years are going to be hard for them - we should offer them sympathy and understanding. To top it all their pet ref has left these shores and deserted them (funny how he never reffed at BV again) - what next?

Leeds fans - I feel your pain, I empathise with your cnfusion.

AND I LOVE IT

Leeds are my most hated club in the world. But even I can see you are an idiot.

I wish we were that good.

For all those still confused, consider the following situation:

A player (player A) from a team loses his boot defending at the opposition 20m, so he sits down to tie his boot as play moves down towards his own line. He's not very good at tying laces so he takes a little while.

The ball is handed back to his team 10m out from their try line. At the ptb, one of his team mates (player B) makes a break and pelts down field. The opposition only have the FB who is in any sort of position to catch him. Player A finishes tying his boot and stands up. Player B rushes past him but is caught by the defender. Player B passes the ball to Player A who catches it and scores under the posts. Your verdict, try or no-try?

Player A clearly was offside at the ptb. Did his own player put him onside by running past him... don't be trying to fool me that you think he did!

Player A never gave up the advantage he had from being offside (by a mile in this case) just as Webb didn't on Friday.

Yes, this is an exaggerated case but it illustrates the point of the rule.

Accepting this ruling, why does a different rule apply to offside at a kick than offside at a ptb. You can be 90 yards in front of the kicker but only have to give the returner 10 yards. Net gain 80 yards. You tackle the returner, cause a knock on, gather the ball yourself and stroll under the posts to score. Onside at the kick and you are never there to make that tackle. Anomolies like this need removing.

And don't be fooled by any logic that may be contained in this post. I'm still paranoid that the only time such rules are invoked are to stop Leeds winning.

i think we should start a petition.talk about two faced w*nkers

Good this thread isn't it ?
