In the immediate review after the 'Try' was 'scored', Silverwood did not have the super zoom. He watched the incident on two different angles, twice. The one from the opposite end of the ground (where the super zoom later came from I think) CLEARLY shows the ball never hitting the floor (or even getting within inches). This is without the need for the super-zoom. We all have our own opinions on Jiffy but he was spot on when he stated it was never a try - one thing is for sure, he has half decent vision.

Milner then gets awarded an on-field 'Try' from Childs, which Silverwood correctly deems to be "clearly short" and so over-rules him.

Why he could not have stated on the first instance that the ball is 'Clearly in the air, no try', well only he can tell you that. I assume/ hope he will be available for comment at a Championship 1 ground this weekend...

Yes, but you were serious.

Spot on, as i said previously, without a VR, child would have probably given the try based on his view ( or those of his touch/in-goal judges) at the time.
Subsequent replays would show that he got it wrong, but yet, i imagine, or would hope that most fans (even though one set would feel aggrieved) would accept that he had a second or 2 to make a decision based on what he sees at the time.
Silverwood, didn't, he had numerous camera angles, slow motion replays and more importantly, time to make the correct decision, he failed, not Child.

Good point in fact his incompetence was from the off when a try was sent up in the first half when he said "yes it's gone backwards off " Dobson or S'au ". At that early stage I received a text message which said you can see how this game's going in reference to the fact he was going to give the try no matter what.

Ok Marwan, your right, the whole of the RL world is clearly against Salford.

Child is not exactly the best ref in the comp (although he is marginally better than Cobb) and bad decisions happen in every game.
Sometimes they are at critical moments and other's don't have a major effect.

Most of us can get over the poor calls but, the VR should be right 99.9% of the time yet, they seem to make the wrong call quite often which probably means we should get rid altogether.

Richard, you're flogging a horse so dead, even the maggots have left the scene.

No debate on precedence etc is required. Just the possession of at least one normally functioning eye, and being actually bothered to fcking LOOK for whether the ball was actually grounded. Which everyone but you very clearly saw it never was. Stop trying to pretend there was some doubt in this.

What very clearly occurred is the VR forgot to check whether the ball ever was grounded, and in so doing, joined the top-5 all time list of criminal VR cockups.

Why the need for the Marwan comment ? I know all about Salford's short comings as I've followed them longer than I care to remember, and personally couldn't give two hoots who's against us.

However the comment on "Dobson or Sa'u " was in fact in reference to the clown in the video box "Silverwood" not child. I knew at the time it was a try for Cas but the point being the man at the screen couldn't care less who he saw touching it as he said and I quote it was either "Dobson or Sa'u" and was giving the try even if it bounced off your head.

Nobody is against you - which was probably the point of the Marwan comment.

At that early stage I received a text message which said you can see how this game's going in reference to the fact he was going to give the try no matter what.

This is the reason for the Marwan comment

I care about dreadful officialdom like we saw on saturday that was the reference, not people on a messageboard assuming we think all other fans hate us or not.

For the record I thought Cas were fantastic and I wish they could bottle some of their team ethics and send them to us.

Well done Castleford Tigers in a thoroughly deserved victory and good luck.

Indeed Cas played very well given their injury situation and were denied what should've been a try in the first half when Child wrongly called them back for a knock on. However, whilst I'm sure Cas fans would be annoyed at that decision, I think most would understand how difficult it is to make those decisions in real time with often obstructed sight. The VR decision didn't have those restrictions and should have reached an easy verdict.
