Dummy runner has to get through defensive line for play to continue, can't do that if Bateman tackles him. Should have been play on.

It was an obstruction. It was close and the Wigan player made a big deal of it but he needed to run through the line and he didn't. That's the rule.

I thought that at the time, and yes it wouldn't have affected the result but it was once again a poor decision not to use the technology. I've rewatched it since getting home and his toe definitely touched the line before the ball is down.

Just watched it back.
I'd have probably given the try as Bateman actually stops the runner going through rather than the runner blocking him.
Close though so hard to blame the ref
Big moment for us though

Firstly, thoroughly enjoyed your first half especially the opening 15 mins. The FT score was not a true reflection.

Lot of very balanced posts on this thread. Personally always glad to see Child in the "line-up". Yes he's a stickler but is very even handed. Sticking to the rules both ways, well what else can you ask from a ref?

Since Bentham hung up his whistle, think Child has been crowned king.

It was a 50/50 call IMO, though I do think he should have gone to the VR to have a look.

I thought it was obstruction personally

There should be a rule change on this.
If the obstruction doesn't change whether the try would have been scored, maybe it should be ignored.

Dummy runners are told either go through clean or don't at all. Our player ran straight into him. Was dumb by us as everyone has said the defender wouldn't have got across anyway.

Apparently Jai fields scores late on and there’s a picture on social media with his foot in touch and linesman is close to the grounding
