Anyone know the actual ruling on this? When Carney made the break last night, after play the ball think Saint had no men onside apart from tacklers of previous tackle, Walsh blatantly stopped Lui from strolling in. Sin binned fair enough, but what's the ruling? For me he was denied a clear try.

Essentially a professional foul, sin bin. The decision was probably right.

Said the same at the game last night, can't see any justification for not giving it as it was blatant, not the only balls up though, one conversion in the 2nd half sailed through but for some reason was waived away.

You'd have hated for either of those to have had a baring on a tight game or for points difference to be an issue for the top 8 come the end of the regular season.

Cummings claimed Makinson (the second man in the Walsh tackle) was onside so the penalty try not an issue.

For a penalty try the ref needs to be beyond any doubt that a try would have been scored had the infringement not taken place. The fact that Makinson (who was a square marker I think) was also involved in the tackle makes it hard to give a penalty try. Fwiw I think he would have strolled in, but Makinson was close enough to put a challenge in, so no try was the right call imo.

The updated rule for 2016 doesn't recognize players onside or offside it is purely down to whether the player would of scored or not.

To be honest I thought saints got away with a lot at the play the ball constantly holding our players down but was never called yet Tomkins couldn't get out the way and the penalty was given to the Saints. Could of been a even more embarrassing score line for them. Lets just hope we can kick on and finish as high up the table as possible

He wasn't in the act of touching down so this doesn't apply. Makinson wasn't committing any offence by tackling Lui therefore no guarantee that he would have scored. Fwiw i think he would have.

You are quoting 8 point try rules. That is different to a penalty try.
