I could have dreamt it, but wasn't there a try awarded to Bradford? at BV in challenge cup tie? in the 80s? where they broke from our 25 and was tackled 5 yards short but the ref awarded the try as he was approaching the half-way line trying to keep up.

Anybody?

reality/urban myth/senility

Reality, it was awarded by Robin Whitfield who was subsequently known as Robin Wakefield.
Late 80's early 90's IIRC.

I have a vague memory of that game think it was around 1985 but not sure, remember the name of "Robbin Wakefield" being chanted at a couple of games too I see you put link now, thought it was longer than that but sure you're probs right, just my old age creeping in, now everything in the past comes up in black and white, even if it was last week

The worst decision I remember at Belle Vue was the first ever televised match on British Satelitte Broadcasting (before they merged with Sky). It was an evening match against Wigan. Ellery Hanley crossed the try line yet whilst still fully stood up (I think it was Richard Slater) tackled him and Hanley blatantly dropped the ball from chest height. The ref gave a try and the rest of the entire match was filled with chants of "Cheat!" from the Belle Vue crowd.

A good way to begin televised rugby league on satellite tv in the UK.

Yes it was definitely Neil Summers.
I went with my Dad and were very close to the no Try. I was seething for the rest of the weekend!

Same applies for this one iirc, a tale of missed goalkicks and refereeing cock ups. Principally a try awarded by Colin Morris on the seventh tackle! Some things don't change!
