Catalans robbed themselves, end of.

Why he felt the need to catch it in the first place was beyond me, it was a poor short kick off. If it had gone ten metres, which it hadn't then a Cat's player would have got the ball. Even in golden point they let the ball go out from kick off, when you concede 30+ points in a game youve only yourselves to blame.

The disallowed try had no bearing on the game as Cats scored the next set anyway.

Also a team scores from a forward pass where have I seen that before ? Oh yeah almost every game every week.

Brilliant.

Hurts you that we are not on our losing run anymore doesn't it.

Here's the other numpty, we've gone to 4 forward passes now

Obviously we can only score from infringements.

The biggest forward pass of the game didn't even get picked up and it was one straight from dummy half by Catalans. It was on the play where Bird got penalised for running behind his man. The dummy half pass was about 2 metres forward, honestly couldn't believe that the ref and touches judges were so oblivious to it.

Exactly. In fact Catalans didnt even really need to touch the ball from the restart after their late try. There was about five seconds left, they just needed to make one tackle with their defensive line fully set.

Catalans blew it (twice) and Hull FC deserved the win over all.

the basics of the game has been lost, I'm appalled to listen to some of the crowd and comments on here that don't understand the game

having viewed the penalty kick a few times this morning clearly two hull players was offside at the kick in which case should of been pulled up for by the rule book
you have to feel for Jeany

Shocker. Rules treat different situations differently. The RFL are corrupt!!

I bet you're a nightmare to sit near in the stands The rule is obstruction, you have to obstruct a defender for it to apply. This can be either stopping a defender getting to the ball carrier (hitting his inside shoulder as he slides across, or running straight into him), or stopping in the defensive line, which stops the defense sliding across (there was one of those on the Hudds/Cas game on Thurs, the commentators were pointing out the defender would never have got to the ball carrier - this is irrelevant, he's stopped the line sliding across, which affects defenders further out).

There is no 'running behind your own man' rule, or 'crossing', they're both fine as long as you don't obstruct a defender. The disallowed try should have been given IMO, poor read by the defender, he wasn't materially disadvantaged.

You should forget the bitterness you have for your neighbours, it might have helped you enjoy the game more

I missed the game, I thought that Jean would have put the link up for the highlights by now.

No, crossing isn't a rule, obstruction is a rule. Fans incorrectly shout crossing all the time because they don't understand the rules. The same as when they shout 'shoulder charge' because they think its the same interpretation as union (no arms). No agenda, it doesn't matter to me whether Catalans or Hull FC won, just bothers me that there's such a difference between the fans understanding of the rules, and the actual rules.
