Ok I apologise for my misunderstanding , I respect everyone’s opinion whatever their views are , anyway I was happy tonight , yeah we lost , but at least the effort was there to be seen .
And I don’t think we will be relegated anyway .

Not if the proposed system is introduced. You’ll have to wait until the end of 2022 season for that pleasure, it will only delay the inevitable. I’m afraid I cannot see you finishing 10th out of fourteen. You will need almost a new team. Effort will not be enough you will need skill as well. The likes of Joel Tomkins will not be enough.

You do realise that you will be enjoying the same pleasure at the end of 2022

Again I do realise what situation we will be in , if we don’t go down ,and it could be just giving us a reprieve,with 4 going down out of 14 it will be extremely difficult and again I agree we will need a new team , we will need a virtual new team anyway ,as most are leaving at the end of this season .

And to survive we will need to recruit quality in abundance , I’m sure Derek knows this as well though ,as for Joel Tomkins ?Im hoping the first of a few quality players to arrive , you have to start somewhere , we have now signed him ,2 Aussies , Joe Mellor , I’m hoping Brierley and James Bell sign again ,maybe Sidlow ,the rest it will up to the Coach , again I’m not sure if we will get one but apparently Derek already has once in mind and is just waiting to announce him .

I’m hopeful of our future , hopeful being the word , but I’m also a realist IF we want to become a top 10 side then we need drastic measures in recruitment , or we are just marking time till we go down again .

I’m sure Derek Beaumont is well aware of what is needed. If his past record is anything to go by he has little idea of how to bring it about. His leadership over the past few seasons has left a lot to be desired. Being a passionate fan is not enough and he has proved it.

Gone off topic.
As Sky pointed out was not a try but not for the reason thought on the ground.The most blatant inconsistency of the ref never mind any card issue

That is why the try was disallowed.

Sorry, in my annoyance did not make myself clear yes Hood was off side. I was referring to kr try when kr man was within 10 yards of our man fielding kick so penalty to us,probably not a knock as thought on the ground, but close, deffo no try.

Usually you hear the shout from the ref telling the players offside to stay back. For me the video ref is concentrating on the knock on, and forgets the rules of the game with Crooks onside.

Thanks Reffy, so the HKR try should have been disallowed for the same reason.
Very frustrating.

You've spent a bit more than us on your squad, good luck in the Grand Final. p.s 11 men for 2 minutes, you drama queen.

Crooks put them all onside, the ref sends it up to check the knock on. One he awards on field as a try after consultation with his touch judges, no call from the ref to any player to stay onside after Lawler kicks. Hoods was straight forward offside. The ref for me was correct in both decisions. You can’t be judging if someone is encroaching 10m when the fullback just played them all onside.

It got sent up as a try.

Crooks cannot put anyone who was in front of him onside who are within the 10, the only person who can put people back onside is the kicker of the ball which clearly he didn't. The try should of been disallowed by the rules of the game, although it's one rule I hate as even though within the 10 he has no outcome on the play at all.
