Thought it was correct call myself. Hull player originally contesting kick then wraps his arms around player and tackles him in air. It was harsh but right call for me. If they had slowed that try against my team I would be fuming.

Great performance from Silverwood this half. 100% improvement on last week. Play the ball a bit slow but only penalties have been justified. Gareth Ellis just proving my point there.

he's lost the ball before contact - like you say if its against your team you would be livid

its hard to know what to say if your Radford at HT, his team haven't done too much wrong and should be ahead really.

I'd agree with that. What's laughable is last year in a similar situation with Hardaker, except Hardaker didn't try and place hands on the opposition guy and only went for the ball, Stuart Cummings said it was a clear foul, tonight he said it was fine.

Is this not a try, considering they allowed that Leeds one last week?

I would say yes, considering it went up as a try.you say last week but similar with the HKR one that got disallowed simply because it went up as no try. No consistency again.

True.

I was massively surprised Bentham never even looked at a second angle, seemed odd.

No it's not a try.

Not comparable. Just like the HKR one the other week we're talking about someone who had the ball and lost contact with it. Leeds one was a grubber kick and loose ball and whether he got downward pressure on it. No question of the ball becoming separated from the hand of the ball carrier so just like last week when someone called it, they aren't comparable incidents.

There was no downward pressure on the Leeds one either. Like I posted after the game there's a difference between having downward pressure on the ball and the ball having downward pressure on the ground.

All 3 are fingertips on the ball as it's on the ground and absolutely comparable.

Poor decision for the tackle in the air, but it seems that Hull have given up after that.

all that early season confidence from Hull fans seems a far cry away, i did suggest the Radford out stuff might start after 6 rounds this year, if they carry on not bothering defending then it might just be!

In your opinion.



As pointed out, they really aren't comparable.

he clearly lost the ball, no try for me, i wish all this fingernail stuff would stop, he dropped the ball simple..or it should be!

Regardless of the knock on you can't tackle someone in the air. The player might have been able to get a fingertip to the ball on the way down which would've knocked the ball away from Manu's path or he might've been able to aid defensively to stop Manu getting over the try line but is essentially taken out illegally.

You pointed out that the ball was already on the floor for the Leeds try. Well done Sherlock.
