I can see reasons both ways on Cas last try that job ran into milling ton and looked for the penalty. My feeling is if I had been given against the Giants I would have been livid. If we had got the decision I would have said it was right

Mcshane did exactly the same over when mcguire was through. No consistency yet again

Should have been disallowed I think. If it was sent up as no try it would have been no try.

JJB saw that there was an overlap outside and decided to jump into the lead runner in a desperate attempt to get a penalty.
Thankfully, the VR saw through him.

It was a try because the receiver had sufficient depth, something which Sky conveniently failed to mention.

Add in it being sent up as a try, along with JJB maybe taking the wrong read etc, you can see why it was given. But Cas have had them disallowed for much less in the past.

That's what I thought, Gale is stood pretty far behind Millington, not as if Millington stopped JJB from getting to him.

That one was clearly no try though.

Do you guys actually understand the rules? It's not up to the defender to move around a lead runner, it's the responsibility of the runner to not get in their way. Whatever your opinions are about JJBS intentions are irrelevant, because that is guess work. The facts are what matters and the fact is that by being where he was Millington prevented JJB from getting to where he wanted to go. No way should it have been given and just another confirmation of the folly of making the on field ref make a call.

And all those saying JJB jumped into him must have missed the last ten years of Jamie's career. I've never seen him abandon goal line defensive duties in the hope of winning a penalty.

There is also a first time..................JJB milked it and gave the benefit of the doubt back to Cas.

That call, would be obstruction 9/10, Leeds got a poor call but, they usually get plenty in their favour at Headingley with the South Stand reffing the game.
Cas did get the rub of the green but, it made very little difference.
Maguire, who many have been expecting to save Leeds, was possibly the worst player out there and would struggle to get in any other SL team on that showing.

JJB was offside at the PTB, maybe that's why the try was awarded?

You're the second person to make this ridiculous argument, and it holds absolutely no water. The try was (wrongly) awarded on the merits of the obstruction call. If they'd disallowed the try that is when they could consider awarding Cas a penalty for offside.

That's actually one of my big gripes about the video reffing system. Any time a try is disputed the first thing that should be looked at is the offside - that way if it's disallowed at least it's not a double whammy. Practically every disallowed try from within the ten should result in a penalty to the attack, but they never do.

Yes, you're probably right. He figured "we're at our lowest ebb in my entire career, we're in a must win match, approaching half time and we desperately need to keep them out on this set to have any hope of getting something out of this game. I know what to do, rather than aggressively go for the player with the ball I'll jump in to this guy and hope that the referee sees it."

Give your head a wobble. JJB didn't even milk it. On the commentary Stevo said 'He turns and has a look at the ref' he did no such thing, he never took his eyes off the ball, what he actually did was try to regain his running line and went after Gale.

That gets sent up as no try and there's no controversy here because it was obstruction, plain and simple. Millington was stood where he had no business being and it's entirely his responsibility to keep out of the defenders way. How far back Gale was doesn't matter, if it did then we could just have a tactic where you send a forward straight into the opposing line every time and just make sure you play at least ten yards behind him.

I can just about take how bad we are at the minute, but I'm not going to accept people defending what was simply a rank decision.

If he had ruled it out Leeds would have only lost 12-46, shame on them !!
