Quote: Levrier "Should Mr Hicks have been asked to state try or no try over the Hull grounding. Given that he let Gildart run the length of the field and then said try on the field it would suggest that he would have gone no try for the Hull grounding. What would the video ref have done then?'"
He did. I watched the replay last night and he said he had try Wigan and no try for Hull.
Going off recent decisions (Peyroux, Tierney etc) I've got no idea how he could say he was 100% certain that was a try after having 75 looks. Without the prejudice of the 'no try' decision I could have just about taken it being given benefit of the doubt but with that in mind, it should never have been given.
The rule needs scraping. Thankfully it didn't cost us.
