IMO the tactic is fair enough, but doesn't the ball-carrier need to have feet on the ground? My understanding was, that if a player is lifted so that his feet are off the ground, the ref needs to call Held immediately. So as long as that rule is fairly applied, I don't have a problem with it.

Yes…as did Moy when he came on

They did and both came from a football backgroundBarron 21 was on the books of Scun thorpe united and Martin 20 was with Hull City

dont know what happened there on this site as it wont print Shorpe correctly

I also thought the rule was that held was called as soon as a teammate of the attacker joined the tackle, but I haven't seen that called all year

A disappointing defeat but you can't win them all. There will be a few lessons in there for them, about making sure you don't presume a game is won when in a good lead and also for Peet in how you deal with the loss of a player like Field. Our game management was poor but so were our energy levels and enthusiasm at times. 


Fair play to Hull, they're turning a corner and I'm happy for their fans. 

Hull v HKR looks like the best final for "us neutrals"

I wasn't 100% sure so didn't want to guess, I thought they had played against our Academy a couple of years back and given them a hiding! Really good signs for Hull, great that they (and Moy) are getting their chance.

I turned off at HT and went on Red Vee to say that Wigan were winning the lot again and that HKR are the only team that can get close to them. Obviously that aged well. 


I've said before that I think the pitch will be a huge problem to Wigan and I stand by that. There seemed to be sand in a lot of places and it is not conducive to the style of rugby you play. It makes you wonder if it has impacted on Field doing his hamstring. When you played in Vegas on that 3G style pitch it was like watching it on fast forward. 

I think its the word nestled inside the name that is causing the issue
