Shocking decision by the VR on that last Hull try.

Same guy who kept disallowing them for us against Rovers when there was no definite evidence to overturn. Guys a clown and it's stuff like that which is making even more people fall out with the sport.

Surely there’s got to be some sports broadcast university students that could do a better job than Stuart Pyke.

He is awful, I really struggle to watch games with his commentary. Bring back Rod Studd  |

I’m considered a idiot savant, without the pesky savant bit: |

Watching down here in Aussie, I’ve seen that ref a few times at Leeds games …his a deadset shocker and I thought NRL refs were pedantic hats

Thaler has disallowed 3/4 tries now for Hull in the last couple of weeks - 3 of which should have been given IMO.

“You are playing a game of football this afternoon but more than that you are playing for England, and more even than that, you are playing for right versus wrong. You will win because you have to win. Don’t forget that message from home. England expects every one of you to do his duty.”:1230.gif |

Ball landed further forward than the place it was touched, it is unlucky because the Hull player slows it down by the force of contact, but ball did go forward after touching his hand.
Right decision.

And this is the key point, you've got fans and Sky commentators saying it's the wrong decision, but it's not. It's just down to lack of awareness of the subtly of the laws of the game. As pointed out above, the knock on law is the ball going towards the opposition try line off a hand or arm, which the video clearly shows happened. Yes, the player slowed it down by attempting to push the ball back and does change it's trajectory (which is what gave it up as a knock on), but the ball still travelled towards to the try line off his hand, so harsh on Hull, but the correct decision by the laws of the game.
Be good if Sky ex-players knew this and could help explain things - and no, I don't want Stuart Cummings back, but at least it would have helped in this situation!  |

I actually do want Cummings back. Or someone in that role. The fact is the people commentating don't know what they're talking about half the time when it comes to some of these marginal decisions and they are misleading fans who in turn complain about inconsistency or incorrect decisions when they are nothing of the sort.

The majority of fans who comment on a decision are annoyed because it was given against them, the props in the commentary box are clueless.
It does need a knowledgeable person to analyse the decisions but after the game rather than during. Cummings was OK when he first did the job but he evolved into being the main man and his ego took over.
