You are showing your confusion regarding the rules even more now ( to say nothing of your slightly peevish and aggressive nature). You say the tackler doesn't have to be holding Lyne even though the RFL laws of the game clearly state that he does. Obviously you know better than the RFL law makers. The issue of effecting a tackle by touching a player on the ground with the hand is for a quite different situation to the one that sounds to have been the case here. Just having contact with the hand would not normally constitute a tackle. Anyway, I believe the 'try' was disallowed so, as you say, "Move on".

Yep i'm sick of talking about it. It was the correct decision though!

No it wasn't!

I haven't seen the tackle but the various descriptions on here don't suggest that Taylor ever had a "hold" on Lyne. I'm not sure I would count rolling over someone as a "hold"

At the end of the day, it's done and dusted so no matter how we (or the ref at the time) interpret the rules it makes no odds now, and from what I've read a little more composure elsewhere would have made this whole discussion irrelevant.

As I said earlier - if Reece had kept his cool and got up and carried the ball over the line, the 'broken' tackle would have been at the forefront of the refs mind and the try would have stood; he created doubt by reaching out, and confirmed that doubt by appearing to ground it short.

I like a good ref rant, but if that had been awarded against us, we'd be having the same argument on here, but from the reverse position.
