Can these so called experts tell me why all the decisions were correct last night?

I am more interested in the Sherriffe try.

Newton takes out JJB off the ball. I dont think there is any argument there. No way JJB would have got to the kicker, but he was taken off the ball. IF that was not a penalty then why did Leeds get one just before half time for the exact same offence. Are you seriously saying Leeds should not have got that penalty before half time?

Still on the try, Menzies knocks the ball forward against Halls hands which then deflect it back the other way. That is a knock on. Unless you are seriously saying Menzies did not touch the ball?

Newton ran a dummy run, JJB ran into him - no penalty. If you watch the Menzies bit closely - i did over & over- he turns his body and bats the ball towards his own line and yuo can see the ball hits the ground behind where he was stood. Excellent by him, his experience showed, fast from an onside position for 35. And some people on this and saints board were saying he's past it.

Can you answer the questions Danny instead of making unfounded statements?

Are you saying that Newton taking out JJB was not the same as the penalty awarded end of first half?

Are you seriously saying that Menzies did not touch the ball onto Halls hands?

I might be wrong. I am not saying I am not. I just find it strange that people say ALL the decisions were correct, when one inparticular smacks of inconsistency within the same game.

Are you seriously saying that Menzies did not touch the ball onto Halls hands?Yes, backwards, or alternatively they touched the ball at the same time

It wasn't like all the decisions went our way, what about when Webb dropped the ball bang on his own goal line and Cook got it down? The decision went in your favour then and could have been considered a Bulls try.

Newton ran an illegal block in front of the Bradford ball carrier. He didn't run straight North-South he ran a diagonal with the sole intention of protecting the kicker. How Alibert decided otherwise is a mystery to me.

Not clearly he didn't. There was enough evidence from what I saw to suggest Menzies didn't actual get a touch on the ball at all.

Webb grounded the ball first.. The drop-out restart was 100% the correct ruling.

Correct decision by the officials

Yeah, I agree when looked closely but I think most of them were correct, although when first looking could be considered incorrect. Tbh I thought Smith and Alibert both had decent games.
