| FA is quite correct in his main point though; the opinion of the referee is paramount in judging what actually occurred.
We all believe that a try is scored by a player putting weight on the ball in the in-goal area, but not so - all that is necessary, is that in the [iopinion of the referee[/i this occurred, the [iactuality[/i is irrelevant.
It's a little like the old 'spot the ball' competitions in the papers [going back a bit I know]. These, soccer based, competitions used a press photograph with the ball removed and contestants had to guess/ divine /use skill to work out, exactly where the ball was. However, when judging the winners, they didn't do what I would have regarded as the obvious method, ie to just go back to the original photo [complete with ball] and see who was nearest - Oh no, they had a much better idea. They got a panel of 'experts' [ I kid you not] to look at the piccie with no ball and assess its true position - and the winner was the person with the nearest X to their 'expert panel's' guess. Rather like the RFL, they reserved all rights, didn't allow appeals and the Editor's decision was final, of course..
So there you have it. The laws of rugby league are on the same level as a tawdry newspaper 'spot the ball' competition.

| Thought this thread was all about injustice? And also the fact that in a later injustice served up by Steve Ganson, when he eventually agreed that we (and the millions of viewers who saw the injustice on Sky were right and he was wrong, which like the voluntary tackle by Chris Joint cost us victory against Saints and Leeds. At least Smith bugg...d off to Australia whilst Ganson was promoted to the highest office (probably on the 3rd floor, if Red Hall is multi story) at the RFL.
Yes it was right on both counts!!
