| I'm not sure it's an all time low, the refereeing standard has stank for years and years. It makes rugby league look pathetic. Its never helped that the commentary teams over the years have pointed it out and ridiculed their own sport. It really needs sorting, call the game as it is, I wouldn't be too fussed if it's different game to game so long as both sides in any particular game get the same treatment. There is scope for referees interpretations and more respect. The trouble is you have to be able to trust a referee and I don't think we have any that are in that bracket. We need our own version of nigel owens.
The grand final is the worst, the amount of niggling and messing at the ptb, lying on that goes unpunished just leans itself to a poor spectacle and the masters of the spoil Leeds and Wigan taking the prize every year. When was the last truly classic grand final?

| Quote: The Speculator "The thing that struck me about this decision was the lack of different camera angles that were shown. From behind the posts, it looked like a tiny part of the ball might just about have touched the line, but that angle can be deceptive. We really needed to see it from a side-on camera, but strangely enough, that didn't happen.'"
From memory the ball was grounded point down. Consequently by applying a bit of simple geometry, the centre of the ball must have touched grass before the outer edge touched the white line - TRY.

| The radio commentators were apoplectic because Thaler had given a penalty against us for feet up in the scrum. That went out when Leeds's forward passes started being ignored.

Maths was never my strong point Silver, but wouldn’t the ball have to be a) totally pointed like a sharp pencil and b) perfectly perpendicular for that level of certainty to apply?
For what it’s worth I thought it was a try, but also Mamo did incredibly well to get round the Wakey lump and ground the ball, what an athlete!

IIRC
In 2007 Setanta, but the RFL simply used it as a means of upping SKYs offer and then it was rumoured that BT Sports were interested in bidding from 2016 but when it appeared clear the RFL were simply renewing with SKY, BT Sport put the money into making sure they secured access to Premier League.

No, even if the end of the ball was spherical, the centre would touch grass before the outer edge - and yes, my memory is that the axis of the ball was more or less or less vertical when touched down.
