| Quote: The Chronicler of Chiswic "I was there and while the VR was looking at the L'Estrange 'try' the players were preparing for a scrum (presumably for a Gareth Thomas knock-on) and when Thaler gave it Bradford couldn't believe their luck. As for the 'Benefit of the Doubt' one, I was actually at pitch level by the corner flag about to potter off and there's no way on earth that anyone could have said whether the ball was grounded or not. As the players disentangled themselves the ball was on the line with a Crusaders arm on it, but whether that happened before or after play had stopped was impossible to tell. I have to admit to having the naughty thought that he gave it to even out his earlier cock-up.'"
L'Estrange grounded the ball after Silverwood blew the whistle. I've checked the rule book and cannot see how you can award a try scored after play has stopped.
No ask Stuart Cummins available this year?

No he didn't. L'Estrange is on the ground and the whistle is blown.

Actually he blew before L'Estrange grounded it , I've just forced myself to rewatch it, even eddie who hates the Crusaders commented on it but as they say its history now

| Quote: newsboy "Phil Clarke said, "These two teams have managed to take the 'Super' out of Super League." That was an understatement. Mistakes throughout, poor playing standards seen in the skill levels on show accompanied by a very ordinary performance by the referee. Thank goodness we don't see many games like this in a season. Let's hope it has lulled the St George Dragons into a false sense of security regarding the standards in SL.'"
Ah, Phil Clarke, the man who once saidand[/i it was only the third game of the season, I'll look forward to better things and live with what we got.

I disagree. If there had been no video the ref would have had to make the call. All he has to do is make the same call. It might be right or might be wrong, just like any other decision made by countless referees up and down the land; we all have a cheer/moan and get on with the game. He's just deciding whether, or not, someone scored in a rugby match, not starting world war three.

| The Schifcofske try was a perfect example of why benefit of the doubt should go to the defending team. When they replayed the L'Estrange try you could hear Silverwood blow his whistle before L'Estrange crossed the line, so why he then went for the video ref I have no idea.

No he didn't, the audio which was played to the VR clearly shows that the whistle was not blown before the ball was grounded but immediately after.

I think you mean "Isn't it great we now have two Welsh clubs in the pro ranks?"

You obviously struggle to believe that figure Starbug, have a look at this picture and you'll see what the cameras didn't show (i.e. fourth and most populated stand) as they are at the top of it.

2600 not great by any means but certainly believable when you see the full picture not what others tell you (something you advocate yourself I believe)

Hardly the try of the season, the away stand was in total silence until Silverwood went to the big screen, maybe they missed it too? I think Raynors "try" for Leeds at the Millenium Magic got more of a reaction. But what do I know

If you think that defence is the key aspect of the game then I suggest you may be watching the wrong game.
Rugby League is primarily about scoring TRIES and rewarding the effort for doing so.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

If your more interested in seeing people ' defend ' , watch football
RL is one of the few games that you cannot play ' defensibly ' , that's why I watch it
