Had the clown gone to the video ref there would have been no argument.

Oh well, at least you will get a week off come the next round of cup games

It's not clear from video I don't believe. One says yes and another angle the opposite.
For what it's worth, my gut says yes but you weren't necessarily robbed as Saints may well have drawn with their own DG??? and what about the 3 charged down? Plenty of opportunities methinks?

Yes there would .

Smith would have probably said inconclusive and referred it back to Bentham.

what happened to the benefit of the doubt?

not being in the challenge cup after this has cost the club a six figure some... depending on how far we would of got... they have a right to be aggrieved as do the fans, not often you get the chance to go to wembley for a cup final and it has been taken away by us

Ian Smith has come out and said if Bentham would have gone to him he'd have dissalowed it also?

He was hardly going to say anything but was he ....would the RFL really have allowed Smith to say anything that wasn't in support of Bentham ?

Have you read your local rag today guys?

Smith WOULD have referred it back like I said.

Yes, that's what i'm referring to....he was hardly going to say.." no Phil got it wrong and i would have awarded it" was he, imagine the meltdown at Red Hall if one ref had have gone against another !!

Don't count on it.

I would say quite the reverse mate. That whole piece reads like a poor excuse. The WHOLE or the refs review didn't disagree...well woop-de-doo! The fact that many of them obviously did, the players did and, as the piece points out, the consensus from the rugby league world did hardly justifies his 'I was right and everyone else was wrong' standpoint. As for Smith saying he would have referred it back; well he would say that, wouldn't he!

I wouldn't say the consensus is that it was a DG. The general consensus from the Huddersfield fans is obviously that it was a DG. Most other folk see it the more reasonable way, i.e. one angle shows it was a goal and the other angle shows that it missed.

I am yet to see any evidence that can categorically prove it was or wasn't a DG. It was therefore a 50/50 call that didn't go Huddersfield's way.

Would it have been OK to have an English video ref then?
