Basically, you are determining success in the Challenge Cup is the barometer of Gentle and Radford's tenure..
Ignoring the fact,both had a win ratio in the League of below 50%..
How many of the deadwood players ,have played in the recent thrashings ?

Cup runs are nice but in the modern format means you've won about 3 games a season. League games are where the club makes its money and performances have been well below standard. We've finished above 6th twice since 2007 and even then we flopped in the playoffs when Old Trafford was in our sights.

Also doing chopping motions with his hands after the game conversing with James Clark and him nodding back to AP. Hodgson looked like someone who knew he was in for the chop, stood talking to Ellis, at the end of the game. Could have sworn his eyes were very moist, almost tears. Who knows.

not all bad news at least toulouse are down.

Slight positive

Big stats from Satae and Sao (who played 80 minutes).

Thought at the time Littem stood up well and backed up with his stats, I'd start him on the wing on Thursday.

Time to throw all the kids in and get them some vital minutes of experience. We don't need to see plodders like Johnstone again.

Think we will have to use everyone with the quick turn around.

Where does it state any of that? Nothing about deliberate or accidental in the law?

That’s like saying when an attacking player throws a pass and it hits the hand of the defender it should be play on if the defender falls on the ball. But we all know it is given as a knock on.

Same rules apply surely?

The difference is on the one hand the defender is actively facing the ball either making a tackle or trying to stop ball movement whilst in this case the player was accidentally and unknowingly hit on the head. A pass is a deliberate act. A header is interpreted as a deliberate act. A header is defined as a shot or pass made with the head. In no way could the incident be described as a pass.

That cover tackle from Litten was outstanding.

What?

You are just making up scenarios to suit your agenda?

None of this is included in the laws of the game. The law is quite clear. It is illegal to head the ball forward which is what he did?

No need to complicate it further with deliberate acts etc

99% of knock ons are accidental?

The law is to stop a player illegally heading the ball forward if for example you cant get a pass or kick away
As has been pointed out this was a player who was hit with a ball to the head accidentally.
The decision was correct

But if it hits your hand acidentally its a knock on - so whats the difference?
