The camera angle suggesting a miss is not in-line, it's offset and gives a skewed and unreliable view.

The better view clearly shows a good DG.

The refs have to up their game.

Or players their accuracy?

Yes. Players should never make mistakes, give penalties or commit foulplay, so the refs have nothing to call on.

Whoops!!!

aye, well he had four shots to get his eye in. Walsh needed one.

DG would be better employed looking at the shambles in claret and gold today as to why they lost

Can't wait for the second half of the season that

Really!
I know people are upset about the manner of the loss but I thought Bentham had a good game today

the only thing I thought he did wrong was the pen where lewis retaliated.

Linesman tells Betham that Jermaine would not let go and penalty for lying on was given. Saints had made a half break and Jermaine held down for far too long. People push at the play the ball atleast 10 times a game.

It wasn't Jermaine but never mind.
Not like that they don't but whatever keeps you happy.
Usually what happens in rugby league is retaliation is penalised.

That might be what they tell the kiddies, but no it isn't.

I actually thought that after the red card Huddersfield should have had the penalty, because a few Saints players went in and had a dig even though the ref was in there dealing with it. But Saints were given the penalty and had the benefit of the Giants player sent off.

IMO Saints should have lost the penalty because of what their players did. That would cause retaliation to be treated properly, but right now most retaliation is pretty much allowed.

Sorry for crappy pics
I'm convinced that the trajectory of the ball at no point wavers beyond the inside of the posts at any point, after it has gone past the posts maybe as the ball is gaining height for some time past the posts and the wind may have gotten hold of it..
At the very very worst/squinted back end shot it goes over the upright which is a successful goal kick is it not?
In baseball in a few grounds now they've stopped putting the pitcher's camera angle at 10-15 degree off centre due to fans 'seeing' what they thought were 'balls' (outside the hitting zone) being called as strikes by the Ump'. That's because of the false trajectory that the angle was creating to viewers at home.

I just don't think you can tell by that camera angle. On the last picture the ball is obviously still inside the post, but it doesn't look like it has reached the goal line yet to me.

Another point that I don't think anyone has mentioned yet, is that Bentham might have prevented Hudds winning in normal time, but he didn't make them lose. Had they fronted up in defence rather than feeling sorry for themselves and crying to the ref then Saints wouldn't have got into drop goal range themselves.

You seem to be saying that both camera angles have equal weighting. They don't. One is straight, the other is skewed. You must take that into consideration when assessing what they purport to show.

I actually thought that Brough's premature celebrations, before the ball had reached the posts, didn't do himself any favours. It had that look of a player trying to convince the ref. You often see it when players try to convince the ref that they've grounded the ball correctly when they know they haven't.
