The IGJ didn't think that.

He didn't need to indicate it, because the touch judge already put his flag up straight away for in touch.

I sit in the Carnegie seats and was above that, with a clear view, he almost threw the ball down.

not sure what you are on about!! I'm no frustrated with the game at all. I just understand it!!?

You hear the very best pundits, sterlo and Gould talk about there Been a penalty in every play and you hear coaches talk about it too!! It's all about the refs using common sense!! If the refs ref to the letter of the law there would be a stupid amount of pens!! As the great gus Gould says that the rules are only a guide line! I think the refs do a great job in keeping our game flowing when gamesmanship is such an important part of the game especially around the ruck!!

Are you saying you don't think the game is like this?? If you don't then you are wrong because far superior rugby minds than our think it is!!

My apologies, I'd understood your comments as suggesting that the interpretation of the ref / video ref were the pivotal features of the leeds v bradford games this season, that this element of luck is just fine and that we all just had to get over it.
This may be the case but personally I hope for more from the game, hard though I acknowledge the ref's job to be.

I'm also occasionally critical of pundits too.

I know the bloke I asked him after the game what he would have done and he said he would have said try.

i sit in the carnegie stand and he was def in touch before he got the ball down. if he had dived low instead of making it look good he would have got in no problem

Always question things you hear from pundits. The older they get, the longer it is since they were in the gme, the more it has changed, the less relevant they are. Current coaches as analysts offer far more for mine.
