| As a neutral, it's simple it was offside, watching Smith's post match interview you could see he was slightly embarassed.
Having said that Yorkshire won

Feel free to comment on the thread in hand though, rather than just trolling. Carlos.

Exactly - Bentham looked at it enough times. It was hardly the obvious decision people are making out.
He looked at it repeatedly and came to the only conclusion possible IMO from the views he had. If, he had the over head view which was blocked by the gantry then he possibly would have ruled it out but in the circumstances he could do nothing else

| Whether it was on or offside - it doesn't matter. The try was awarded & the resat is history. Maybe it was a payback for the Joynty "voluntary tackle"?

| Great game of no frills rugby and a shame that people will remember the "decision" rather than give all 34 players credit for really giving their all.
Thought Leeds just shaded it overall but was a titanic struggle at times.

| Of course it was so "clearly offside" that a proffesional ref looked at it probably over 20 times and still gave it!! Get a grip FFS.
Looked perfectly clear to me that both his feet were behind the ball.
Why would Bentham deliberately give it if he knew it was offside?? I mean seriously??
What possible agenda could he have had?
Some of you lot need to get a grip and lets face facts, your ONLY try of the night came from a knock on but for some reason sky didn't show the side angle which would clearly have shown this.

You don't get 6 points for a voluntary tackle.

| Can anybody please inform me when a rule was invented that you only need be behind the ball and not the man kicking the ball? It's a new one on me, only been watching for 30 odd years though so guess it passed me by

You are correct page 36 of the the RL rules, you need to be behind the kicker, no mention in the rulebook of being behind the ball.

Same rule applies to a player kicking the ball forward intentionally. If the player who receives the ball is in front OF THE BALL at the time of the kick then the correct ruling again is OFFSIDE.
Clearly Smith was always behind the BALL so was therefore ONSIDE.
The two Sky muppets are an embaressment and should learn the rules not make new ones up to suit the directors needs for controversy.
There is no relevance in this case to the relative postion of either players feet (standing or non standing)
