Wigans first try v us in the cup...the ball carrying arm hit the ground after the player and been ankle tap. My first (and still reaction) was its was a try, not because simply the momentum but also that the Warrington players was not in contact. As regards the try later on (the the ref went to the VR for.) Warrington player had his foot when he hit the ground, Warrington player out hand on his back whilst he was in contact with the ground but nobody actually had hold of him down on the ground.

quite simply the rule should say "A player is held when...................................... the ref decides to call it"

Who rattled your cage?
I gave Ron the reply he deserved.
Obviously hes clearly a person who's opinion you rate highly!!

The reply I deserved? if you read Horatio comment, my replies are based on the rules of the game, and are correct.

But then you have shown over recent weeks your knowledge of the game is a little inept to say the least.

So thats based on rules of the game and not bitterness??
Anyway on here 20 mins before kick off hope you made the game!!

omg! read my post, you are truly a muppet, i stated it was a try for a start! 2ndly your stupidity is evident by your misguided belief that another posters use of a silly patronising smiley head patting emicom (that's what they are called btw) not an effing enicomb (which is your user name). your innability to read has been highlighted not mine.... you pie munching idiot!


now i think an apology is in order, what do you think?

yet again you fail to grasp my point, but using a silly emicom (not enicomb, just to ensure a certain pie idiot doesn't get his nickers in a twist again) without actually using any meaningfull dialogue in my opinion lacks a certain class.

as for ron... don't know him, don't want to tbh, have no real opinion either way in regard to his opinion!

Question: When is a tacke complete?
Answer: When the match officials say so.

End of discussion I would have thought. The specific incident being highlighted was given as a try after video review, therefore, the tackle was deemed not to be complete.

If people here think they have a better handle on how the rules of the game ought to be interpreted, then I urge you to get qualified as RL officials and start working your way up to officiating at top level Rugby League.

An you missed my point thats exactly what Ron is worthy of! IMO using childish name calling insults lacks class to!!

Ian get back to your shrine and quit trolling.

Reet o you get back to your vodoo doll or have a week off!
