hi to all hull fans,why not call into wibsey rugby club. carling £2.60 a pint,carlesberg £2.20,holsten £2.30 ,tetleys £2.20,strongbow £2.60,145 wibsey high street,bd6 1ju.plenty of free on road parking.up past the ground 4th exit off odsal top roundabout up odsal road,then 500 yards on the left.only 10 mins walk to the ground, also spicey cottage curry house across the road from club

The arm doesn't have to touch the ground though, if the ref makes the call (whether he's wrong or not) the tackle is judged to be complete.

No I watched it on Sky where the referee's calls were/are as clear as night follows day. The tackle was completed because Thaler said it was (twice - he shouted the tackle number followed by MOVE). After that it doesn't really matter whether you or I think the tackle was completed or not - it's the clear referee calls on the TV which prove beyond all doubt that once Thaler had called MOVE and Jeffries then pushed Briscoe in to touch he was on very dicey ground. My [iclaim[/i as you put it is based on totally clear TV/Audio evidence. Your point is based purely on your own conjecture.

It all happened in a split second in a very noisy environment. This year so far if a player has not heard a call he has just been able to play the ball again. It was a very harsh sin binning, and no worse than the one that Briscoe did later in the game which just resulted in a penalty.

I assume that you're talking about the rule this year where an attacker passes the ball at the same time as the referee calls held ? If so it's interesting but totally irrelevant to this situation.



It was absolutely nothing like that incident either in terms of the context of play or the referee's calls.

Harsh?
