Erm, it does happen, but mostly players know it should be a penalty try so try to wait till the player is down.

Watch the last RLWC final for the penalty try awarded to New Zealand...then come back and tell me Hodgson should have been given the penalty try.

that was in a world cup final international is different to english league refs are set on different rules n what is given in situations n that

end of the day it wasnt given, it was a fair result so im ending this little arguement here its gone its over nothing we can do bwt it so

Actually, the international rule and the english rule are identical in this case.

its on the the ARL rule thats wrong/different

I have seen the replays now and think this is a point lost. In terms of the overall game maybe not. However if he had not been tackled in the air there would have been more than a good chance (80+%) of a try IMO. The penalty tackle def. save a try.

Just watched the Boots 'n all replay of the last penalty we conceeded, for offside. No way on earth to me did this look offside?

Half the team were offside including the player stood right next to Bentham. What i found annoying is the fact both teams were offside on numerous occasions throughout the match and Bentham did not give one penalty. Yet he gives one on the last tackle a yard from our line. Referees are not consistant with the way they police the offside law.

and thats why fans get mad, sure refs make mistakes, they are only human, but boy did they cost us in this game

He gave us offside just before that which gave HKR the lead. The first offside of the match!!

I haven't actually seen it myself but apparently Finnigan was shouting to some of our lads to get back and Bentham maybe reacted to that...?

It was for Horne punching the ball out of the HUll KR players hand after the tackle was completed. A criminally stupid penalty to give away that saw Horne immediately get taken off.

True. But 2 or 3 minutes later he pinged us for offside which put HKR in front.
