Personally I'd rather it was left to a Sky game so the action can be reviewed and any such instances analized more objectively.

But that does not matter tvoc. We dont need a sky game to see this occurance. Its quite easy to see full stop.

You must accept that many times in a game, a kick comes in with only the fullback and winger been back. Therefore when the fullback takes the tackle the winger will always run from the play the ball?

On less occassions the winger will make a break and pass to one of his players coming back. But it will happen, and can't be debated on. Might not happen Monday, but I will be watching, and sometime it will happen. That is the same scenario we are talking on as last night.

Infact if I was a gambling man, I would bet it happens in Ian Smiths next gaem.

So, the rule states that once the advantage has gone, the player is onside: ie rob put him onside when he went past him.
Also, you have to credit Stevo this one time: if this was offside, every time a fullback collects a ball put behind the play and then runs forward, the whole team are offside.
Complete bollox? Exactly. we were robbed!

SPOT ON matey - I am a Bulls fan, but also a Rugby League Fan & we were so "lucky" last night that I felt a bit ashamed of those so called "Officials" who referee our great sport.

If Webb had attempted to get back rather than hanging around in the Bradford defensive line not even looking like he was trying to get back I doubt the officials would even have looked at it.

I agree.

But forwards coming back 40 metres from a kick in the example I gave on the other page, is a lot further, and there will be occurances where a pass is made to them from a back making the break.

I await your consistent comments on those incidents when they happen.

It's up to the referee to be consistent, not me.

While the rest of us will wait for these occurrences to actually happen before getting all shook up about it.

MM refs decisions were wrong.

Last night they were right. No payback at all.

I'd have to say it does matter. Without reviewable evidence the chance of understanding and interpreting any incidents correctly will be severely impaired.

Newton took out/ ran a defensive block in front of the Bradford kicker that led to Bradford's winning try. I'd take the view that was a penalisable offence. Had Newton's run been made North - South it would have been different but he didn't so I'd interpret that as an obstruction.
