If that did happen then isn’t there a rule you can strip the ball in the act of scoring? Think it was introduced 2022 season. TJ didn’t ground that second one so I was confused by it. Don’t think the officials had much of a clue.

The offside was ridiculous too. Pinned on our 10 with a number of offside defenders (mcollurum more than once) and then we kick and defending in our own 40 ref gives offside vs trinity. I’m sure the refs probably aren’t biased but it sure is hard to argue against it when things go consistently against you and don’t tend to even out.

Don't know about the stripping rule in goal, I was trying to find a reason he gave it, as he clearly didn't ground it, and was going on johnstones stripping reaction.

As I said before, it really is a big turn off and is doing the game no good at all.

By the way, these things were part of the defeat, not the whole reason. that second half was shocking.

I agree. They formed part of the defeat as you say. I won’t blame solely the decisions. A good chunk was poor game management and mistakes on the teams part.

Wouldn't that be an eight pointer?

Watched it again on Trin TV and thought that Johnstone lost the ball (deemed a strip by the Ref) and a Catalans player reacted quickest (no surprise there!) and touched it down.

We were shocking between minutes 52 and 64 when the score was stuck on 18-20. Unbelievable number of errors in that short space of time.

Exactly the period that cost us. TJ’s name is on the scoresheet so it seems the ref seemed TJ had scored.

We need to find a way to exploit Wigan. Those edges look the weak point.

Three impartial officials, all stood a lot closer to the play than I was. If they say it was try I'm happy to go with that.

You misspelt ‘inconsistent’

There was an incident away to Hull last season, Murphy scored a try from a loose ball after a strip on Gaskell I think, and after a video call, the try was awarded.
Regarding the Catalans game I couldn’t see what happened from sitting in the seats opposite end.

Wasn't that the try that was given because Miller put up a bomb and it hit Gaskell on the head/face before Murphy picked up and scored .?

No, it was a different one

I remember that, but in this case the try was awarded to johnstone who the ball was allegedly stripped from.

McNamara had Tom involved day after our game

How soon players forget and move on. Sigh.
