Hi UR. Atkins scored on 7 minutes 10 seconds exactly, how is this 8 minutes? I was dead chuffed when I watched it but haven't got any points for 7 minutes?

That's the 8th minute, if the first score was after 0 mins and 10 seconds that would have been scored in the first minute despite the clock saying 0 minutes.

Should have done a first try scorecast on that one!

Hi WW I think CW8 has it bang on, but, for consistency I always refer to the Sky Sports RL page when scoring the comp. I've been at games when I've thought it was earlier/later and the conversion kick time on the clock seemed to suggest that the try was scored in a different minute etc, but, that would be a nightmare to manage and I'm not at every game.

Unlucky on your 7 mins guess I'm, sure that it will even out over the season and let's hope we score our first of plenty on Friday.

Regards,

UR
