Re: Challenge Cup Final : Sun Aug 25, 2019 2:28 pm  
I know they have planned to hold the final earlier but Could it be scheduled on a less busy weekend???
In Yorkshire this weekend we had

Leeds Fest -
Ashes at Headingley
York - Ebor Racing

Not sure if Lancashire, Cheshire and Cumbria had other events to draw away neutral supporters????

The busiest weekend for getting away nationally.

Just to make travelling a whole lot worse the RFL and BBC the route down to London was closed for “vital” signal work.

Im just watching that exact bit, its a shocking decision, as shocking as the try we got ruled out for obstruction against wakey earlier this year.

I agree.
There must have been some edict saying that’s a penalty now because you can hear in Thalers voice that he doesn’t really want to give it as a penalty.

I don’t know who made that edict but it’s daft.

If they move from Wembley they'd have to move to a ground that fit in the the tune to Que Sara Sara. What would people sing after a semi win?

Personally I think Thaler wanted to allow that try because the contact was so minimal but obviously there’s been a decision made by someone somewhere that if the acting half touches the player playing the ball it’s a penalty.

A daft decision that doesn’t exist in the rules and doesn’t need to exist and would have ruled out half of Kieran Cunninghams tries over the years!


Thaler was terrified of potentially having to overrule the on field ref's decision, so as soon as he saw Lineham brush Goodwin's leg he went straight to a final decision and disallowed it - even though the defensive markers weren't obstructed even in the slightest.

I hate this try/no try system we have, but it's not going anywhere because the sport is in such a shambles in this country that we STILL can't afford screens and video refs at every fixture.

Somewhere under the salary cap

Re: Challenge Cup Final : Sun Aug 25, 2019 6:20 pm  
genuine query around the rules here..... so each time we kicked high at saints left edge, they did a little 'wall of obstruction'... where a number of saints players came together quickly, so as to give protection to the person fielding the kick..... obviously a rehearsed move. So unless we have changed our rules, that's obstruction every single time.

When you watch the game back a few times, you can see it straight from the first kick... and it continued all the way through.

Awful awful decisions, perfectly good try disallowed, I can forgive the saints no try early on as in real time it loomed a clear bounce, but to disallow that has he slightly brushed the ball player, ridiculous. I literally do not know anyone who likes the try no try rule. Please feel free to comment if you do agree with it. This decision was clearly a case of backing the on field ref rather than giving the right decision.
