Quote: Ave It! "Without meaning to drag this thread on. We bumped into Bentham and the officials in a bar after the game.
He explained to us that a if a player is still in a standing position and moves off the mark after held is called then the player is asked to go back and the play the ball, as its difficult for that player to know when they are actually held if they don’t hear the call.
In Escare’s case he explained that because the players ball carrying arm had hit the floor and there was a player on him, the tackle was indeed complete and the player should have known it was complete and therefore cannot get back up and run away.
If Escare was tackled by Lee in the same way near the try line and decided to reach over and score it quite rightly would have been a penalty for a double movement and he wouldn’t have just been asked to the play the ball again. Escare was held and decided to get up and run, therefore the penalty was correct. Cummings made the wrong call on sky.
So what people are saying on here is that Harrison should have been given the chance to play the ball again after his disallowed try? And so should any player who ever gets penalised for a double movement? H didn't know he was tackled and reached over line so it should have been play the to Salford should it? Give over both decisions were correct. Its amazing how many rugby league fans/pundits actually have no idea about the rules, embarrassing'"
