Quote: Fames "So that's at least 3 VR decisions that Ian Smith has made where the vast majority of people would have made the other decision. Hoffman last year against Catalans ( perhaps more of a 50/50), the Catalans "penalty try" this year and now this Catalans clinching try against HKR.
I also noted how often Smith replayed the HKR 2nd try when it was obvious from the first playing it was a try. As if he were trying to find a reason to disallow it.
I would be the last to suggest a pattern is emerging, but I wonder if he spends lots of holidays in the south of France and gets invited to some nice restaurants....'"
Don't forget two other dubious decisions by Smith. Jack Hughes 'try' at Leeds and the Hull K R try at Wigan where the player grounded short and then rolled over...a definite double movement. So those two, along with last years Hoffman no try at Catalan and this years penalty try makes four in all. And all against Wigan. Hope we never get him again.
