Eight point tries don't count when Sam scores. Remember Kevin Penny incident?

It was when Yeaman hit him just after he released the ball, he grabbed his shoulder straight away!!!

he were already committed, what you want the guy to do, stop mid slide, it's not the matrix ffs, if it had been the other way round and it was Sam sliding, there would no problem whatsoever.

i DID SAY JUST AFTER HE RELEASED THE BALL, i DID NOT SAY IT WAS OUT OF ORDER!!!!!!

If it had been the other way around, other teams "fans" would have seen it as a hanging offence !

(BTW i agree with you on this BBB... Sam could have hurt himself stretching tho...)

If that was brought in the every other try would be an 8 point try happens all the time and Turner was already committed to trying to stop the ball being grounded.

Well played last night thought we would get hammered tbh but you were there for the taking, and although it pains me to say it what a player Sam Tomkins is!

Got to disagree. From one angle it looks as if Manu is going to kick out at Sam, but you see clearly from most angles that he pulls out completely and due to momentum whilst sliding his knees go into Sam's arm only. Nothing wrong at all imo.

Wrong.

This I'm afraid Rogues.

I had a couple of looks at it and I was ok with it. The shoulder took a knock when Yeaman banjo'd him with a good strong hit. Nothing wrong with either challenge for me.

I agree with this Brian. He pulled out and didn't make contact.

Manu was very very good for hull last night.

No it shouldn't have been.

And did Sam tell you this?

nothing up with it.
a few on here sounding like dire fans.
looking for things that are not there.

Looking at the Sam Tomkins thread on the VT and also the Hull board, its frightening how little some people know about the sport. Saying the first try should be chalked off for a double movement is pathetic and is either a really bad case of sour grapes or a complete lack of understanding of the rules.

He didnt pull back before contact he definitely hit him but the thing to take on is intent I dont think you can really give it as an 8 point try unless he was sliding in deliberately (like Tommy did that time) but he wasnt he was trying to get across to get under the ball so, though technically he broke the rules, I dont think the 8 point try should be given there.

Further to the "double movement" it wasnt. If hed rolled himself over and put it down then yes but he didnt the Hull players picked him back up and rolled him over the line and he stretched out. The tackle was technically compelete but the momentum took him over. It was a weird one but is not a double movement.
