That decision was correct.
However...
Whiting did not ground the ball over his own line...a try followed the drop-out.
The double knock-on near Saints line should have gone to Hull feed.
The equalising penalty was an incorrec decision no matter what Eddie and Stevo said.

Another ref may have given these decisions but justice should be seen to be done by a neutral ref.

Whiting was in touch when he caught the ball. Therefore the kick found touch and play should have continued as if the ball had hit the touch line itself (with a Hull scrum).

Isn't that only if it is taken on the full?

I thought Ganson had a good game today. The penalty for the kick was a 50-50 in slow-mo, real time it would be difficult not to give it.



I like him. He a little bit differnet, but good analysis, and doesnt seem to everyone off like Phil Clarke.

I'm pretty sure he did, albeit unintentionally

Then why did they create that silly rule about players making the ball dead by sticking a foot over their dead ball line? Fullbacks started defusing kicks that were bouncing in the in-goal area by stepping over the dead ball line and then touching the ball. This (prior to the silly rule) resulted in a tap on the twenty as the ball was judged to have gone dead in goal without being touched. Same principle applies to in-touch.

It wasn't a double knock on. It never left Fosters hand until the saints player knocked it forward from foster's grasp.

The ball hit Horne and then whiped his hand away so was not a knock-on also why twice Hull players off side from kicks but not Foster at the other end when exactly same happened?

Oh and don't you just love Gansons run across O'Melley then [ i've got to stand somewhere] answer.
Even a player knows you don't move across a tackler thats obstruction.

Salty you`re a crust muncher so obviously have a hidden agenda.......

That applies to catching the ball on the full, this wasnt the case with Whiting

Ball kicked thru and bounced in play, Whiting was trying to play on but stepped in touch, head and feed Saints.

i thought he caught the ball and then stood on the touch line

my biggest gripe with him was getting in the way of the defence for roby's try, plus the last incident that led to the penalty to tie the game was a 50 50 ball, there to be won

got to say as a hull fan jon wilkin was outstanding today, kicking and organising his patched up team

I thought this until Foster was attempting to take the ball by knocking it forward presumably into his other hand, when it touched the Hull player it is classed as a knock on by Foster isnt it?

Or am i going mad?

The tackle in the air is just like what Stevo and Eddie kept bleating on about today, interpretation.

I agree Washbrook was going for the ball but he did also take out Ashe in the air.

That was rather funny but there was no way O'Meley was getting near Roby there. He didn't see it coming and was never in a position to get near to Roby whether Ganson ran the interference pattern or not.

I agree with you though I'm not sure a referee should be moving through a defensive line so close to the play, he should have made an effort to get out of the way.
