Anywhere else on the field and that would be given as a knock on. If it was a prop forward who dropped the ball onto the ground then kicked it it would be classed as a knock on.

To say that it wasn't a knock on would be to create massive inconsistency with similar decisions previously. Since inconsistency is something that Cummins has made an essential part of refereeing it means that he must be correct.

I just hope that refs and video refs avoid using common sense in the future in order to prevent such consistencies happening again.

Fair do's pal!

I just think it's laughable some fans think they know better than the bloke who decides how the rules should be interpreted

Are you new to RL ? Your writing about Cummins here !

He were never much good as a ref .

Cummins doesnt do that though. Cummins will agree the rules and introduce any changes but as with anything in its upto the individual referee to decide how he interprets the rule some are more strict than others, some let it flow and some will just make their own rules alltogeth

I'm sure you agree with every decision Steve McNamara makes too. Just because the RFL put someone in charge it doesn't mean they're automatically fool-proof

No matter what Cummings says McGuire lost control of the ball, it went forward and hit the ground. It's a knock on.

If he was correct, how long do you leave it before you call the knock on, does the ball have to bounce above knee height? McGuire only tried to kick the ball because he lost control.

I will take a defeat on the chin any day of the week. Recent displays against Catalans and a superior Warrington side for example. No one would have put money on us getting anything out of this game and all you want it a display and what's we got. Is getting consistant calls from officials game to game too much to ask. Sometimes however hard you try, there are decisions made out of your control that put you on your knees (and I know it's swings and round abouts). The Ferres one I can live with (even though your coach thought it was a try), but the Carmount one................ sorry no way.

Gosh! Is it that time already? Time for a pint methinks, make mine a Yarkshire bitter, I just love to see it in full flo

Your round then!

No doubt he will also come out and state the Ferres non try should have been given benefit of the doubt.
I would like to know why only five Cas players were allowed to pack down just before Ferres got the ball please Stuart.???

Its "know" not "no" .... now put your crayons down and get back in your classroom son

Look, it's our fault.

We forgot the knock-on rule should be changed to suit Leeds.

Presumably Cummins got on the phone to GMR after Gary got on the phone to him.
