I would agree most of the time, but there are occassions when even TV is adequate to pick up a forward pass. Why would it be a problem to ask the video ref to have a look. If he can't tell then fair enough, the decision remains with on field officials. The point is that we all want to eradicate, as far is possible, the obviously wrong decisions from the game. The fifty fity calls we hope will even themselves out over the season and are part of the game.

bitter bitter bitter bitter get over it you lost because your fastest player couldnt catch super leagues slowest player

Did Blake Green even play??

Yeah got a 40/20 how many did hull kick

not bitter , regardless of the blantant forward pass hull still should have defended that lead, but it does stick in the gullitt when decisions like that go against you,

I [ithink[/i (but obviously don't know because it's someone else) that the point MMJ is making is if it is a case like last night where the receiving player actually catches the ball in front of where the passing player is [iat the time the ball is caught[/i, not where he passed the ball from. The only way that could ever not be a forward pass is if the passing player, after throwing the ball, then either stops stone dead from running, or runs back towards his own line at a pace faster than the ball is travelling backwards. I'd be interested if there are any physicists on here who can tell us if this is even possible.

I can see how a TV replay can prove a forward pass in those scenarios, but I would, however, say that you can't go to the screen for those instances and not other forward passes IMO, it wouldn't be right.

You're at it again!
Has he been seeing your missus or something?

It was more a joke comment regarding the slowest player, not how good he performed!! Not that he was spectacular!!

Oh...don't quit the day job.

Whiting was suspended

The physio was on pretty quickly and gave the "no" signal straight away, followed by a second member of the med team coming on and then the stretcher, all before the try was anywhere near scored.

All water under the bridge now, but I'd have hoped that a ref or TJ would have seen that, realised the potential seriousness of the injury and stopped play.

Of course, the lack of comments/complaints next time a rovers player gets injured and play isn't stopped and a try is scored will be recorded for posterity...
