I seem to remember that last night Wayne posted a pic of Deans 'no try' which suggested that he dropped the ball, although how the TJ saw it is beyond me

Well I do not recall seeing the pic but if you fast forward to just before 62 mins on the recording you can see for yourself.

Anyways having watched that part a few times (no Star Trek) I think if I am mistaken the Touch Judge has very good eyesight. Thats not an insult btw because it has made me think he could have been right ah well.

Touch Judge has very good eyesight

got the sinbinning wrong tho,
should have been littler

Is it not illegal to ground the ball well before the line. If you get tackled and then slide over then thats ok but to go to ground purposely and then slide over is not. The ball was grounded about a yard before the line so I think thats what it is.

So if grounded before try line and re-promoted on or over try line its a double movement which is a penalty, if a knock on before the line its either a handover or scrum, if grounded before try line its either play on or hand over
yet ref awards a 20m restart which says he thinks 1. knock on over line 2. touch in goal as corner flag goes down 3. if 6th tackle and no grounding = 20m restart
????

OK I am wrong again so that is my career as the Video ref down the pan. Ah well I can live with it and I can resume my current pastime of Hospital visiting.

Ah well I might win at Poker tomorrow.

Outstanding display yesterday , very fair result the whole team winning the M.O.T.M award , we ran the lines well , handling at times was definately a joy to watch , fluidity of some moves and ofcourse converting possesion into points , fantastic display from all the Leigh team . We'll even forgive u Mick for that wild pass to our invisible winger , am sure he got ribbed off his team mates later for that one

Congratulations to Mr Millward after a very rewarding day at the office , well done Leythers !!!

Just finished watching it back Fred and forget what I said. It does look like there was a Sheffield hand in there but the ref had the best chance to see what had happened. It was Hilly who hit there lad late and I hope he doesn't do something that daft when we really need him on the field. Love the interview after.

Just watched it ...cheers Fred........ Thanks TV BOY i hit the stop button before the interviews..

I'm conscious of a number of factors with this 'experiment' one being a time one (mine when the caravan season is upon us ) another is opponent coaches getting a quick look at us (though Ian doesnt seem bothered about that) a loss of sales revenue (ive had two cancellations of regular orders since I started putting the games on blip and I didnt have many to start with though if there are any businesses out there who want a very reasonable advert deal ) but my main one is people who would normally go and will see this as another excuse not to attend, though I am quite sure we are the only club who provides this service to its supporters. The main point of doing it was a request by Ian to try and get game info to the players quickly so they could study the teams performances before the coaching staff goes through their individual performances on a one to one basis therby saving players and coaching time. The reason I'm 'spouting' all this is just to try and give people a taste of how the coaches are using 'video' on a regular basis, I'm certainly finding it a challenge ( an enjoyable one though) working with Ian and thinking back what im doing now is what Turk wanted all that time ago and which way the technology (well affordable) has now come and how it can be used.
I think I will have to have a meeting with Allan Rowley and Dave Bradshaw to solicit thier views, I do hope it continues but if it doesn't/can't I do hope people will understand.

Wouldn't worry about it affecting attendances Fred, nobody in their right mind would deliberately avoid going to the game purely on the basis of being able to watch it for free a while later.
