Indeed.
The only way to justify that decision was for the VR to claim he couldn't prove that Solomona doesn't possess magic powers.

Because it's a forum and and everyone is entitled to an opinion, you not learnt that in school yet.

Maybe I should of worded it better, and I didn't come on to say if it was a try or not, I was just saying the lad asked an honest question and didn't deserve to be treated that way wether he is a Cas fan or not.

He's baiting. There is a reason he only has 2-3 posts to his name, his previous posts have been removed.

He isn't a Cas fan, he is a Wiganer who supports the Latics and hates Wigan Rugby.

| If you watch it back, the ball is spinning over the line. When Manfredi's hand goes passed the ball it bounces up 2-3 inches. Therefore that may suggest that he bushed it with part of his hand. He's later show talking to Tomkins and pointing to his little finger. As I understand it, thats given as a try. I'm not saying it's a great rule because I think it should be controlled downward pressure.
The Cas first try was obviuosly forward and at the time Dave Woods said theses decisions even themselves out, so maybe he was right. Either way Wigan were by far the better side and fully deserved the win.

| He didn't touch the ball with his hand but he actually grounded the ball with his back afterwards. Would that count?

He has an albeit brief history of trolling hence the general response he has got.

| The Ref gave "a try on the field" so why does a Ref make a decision THEN go to the video ref?
What is the point? Just go straight to the VR, my opinion is No Try Manfredi did not touch the ball even with his finger.
The VR said "he couldnt see clearly from the playback angles so if that's all you've got i'll have to give a Try"
Madness, it's a good thing it wasn't the winning Try!

I don't think it was a try, what did you think of Sam Tomkins try?

| Quote: Trainman "This is a perfect example of where the rule is wrong. As far as I'm concerned it was not a try. If you freeze frame from any of the angles shown there is nothing that conclusively proves he didn't touch the ball, in all probability he didn't however as there is no angle that shows a gap between his hand and the ball. If you apply the rules to the letter I can understand how he came up with the decision.
If the ref sends it up to the VR then he isn't sure, the VR should then make a decision without any influence from the ref. If the VR can't make a decision because it is unclear either way the he can hand back to the ref and go with his call.'"
But that aint the rule!

How could the VR rule no try? Had the ref signalled a try and not gone to the VR you would have criticised him! Unless the rules are changed we must abide by what is in black and white at present. It mattered not anyway, Wigan were far too good for Cas tonight. By the way I have not heard Powell complaining about the refs performance tonight.
