If you drop the ball and it goes forward then you regain possession that is a Goal Line Drop Out. Should the ball not be gathered and is touched down by an opponent then it is a try. If you drop the ball and it travels toward your own dead ball line then it may be picked up and play will carry on. The ball is deemed to be In Goal if it is on or behind the Goal Line, or the player carrying the ball has at least one foot on or behind the Goal Line.

I'm not being pedantic about the 'Try Line' but you often hear Eddie and Stevo amongst others referring to a Try Line but it simply doesn't exist and never has!

Pugwash.

I wasn't at the game. The incident that is being referred to(On the try line) in light of what you are saying, was Gansons decision wrong?

he didnt knock on in his in goal he dropped it in the field of play it wasnt even close

Who cares about the ref, Castleford played well and fully deserved the win, we are not good enough.

Didn't think he did too badly personally.

After seeing the highlights at half time I didn't think Ainscough's try in the first half was forward. Did anybody else see different?

I didn't see much wrong with their disallowed try either.

I didn't think it was forward either.

I couldn't see their try.

Ganson has his flaws (most of them personality-based), but he's the gutsiest ref I've seen in 30 years of watching RL.

His decision to (correctly) send Morley off at the JJB (within the first 60 seconds?) in the Ashes test a few years ago took stainless-steel cojones.

Any and [ievery[/i other British ref (and you can add Klein to the list, too) would have bottled that decision and handed it over to report.

Respect.

I would say marginally forward but I am basing some of that on the fact that Ainscough really had to stretch out to take the ball.

As for Ganson, imo he had a decent game last night but as ever when we have him and we lose some people look to point the finger at what he (in there minds) did not give us.

I thought he had an ok game tbh.

Some old guy last season said that the ref can't over rule the TJ.



I said he can do what the f*ck he wants he's the ref. He can bum him if he fancies it. Didn't sit near me again all season

Well you advocated bumming, maybe he thought you might try it on him!
