Quote: red in buxton "Complete agree Michigan Red, the Ref had his hand in his back pocket before the melee had even had even started, not even a word to Carney, or anyone else for that matter, all you heard him say was we/I got him.
While we on the subject of the highlights, if you watch ALL 3 TRIES FOR CASS they are all forward passes. look where the feet of the player passing the last ball are , and watch where he catches the ball. That is all i will say. WE WON and that will do me. The ref tried everything to give Cass the game.
AND AS FOR THE PITCH. NO WONDER CASS HAVE GOT SO MANY INJURIES IT WAS MORE LIKE SOUTHPORT SAND DUNES, DISGRACE.'"
I thought the first two tries were quite a way forward. Third one was fifty-fifty. That's the way RL goes sometimes. It's quite difficult for both the refs and touch judges to make accurate calls because they are almost always chasing the play and viewing it from behind. At ground level from any angle looking from behind it's almost impossible to call.
