How rude was McNamara to the woman interviewing him? I know he had just lost but his attitude stunk. The guy has no class and hopefully by tomorrow no job.

I thought that too. She should have laughed in his face or signed off with a comment about ASDA hiring at the moment.

Right, and why is that?

Halley wasn't offside, he was taken out by a high tackle and still managed to put the ball down over the line. Advantage was played, Ganson hadn't blown.

The penalty try was given because if the tackle wasn't around his head, he'd have been able to take the ball around nearer the sticks.

Wrong on two points, he was offside, but that was ignored because Ganson bullied Alibert into a penalty try, advantage was played and he scored the ball so wasnt prevented from scoring by the foul.

And there is no reason on earth to say he could have gone under the sticks at all.

It should have been a penalty to Les Cats for Halley being offside.

Fortunately Bradford are so pants not even Ganson could save them.

Watch it again. Halley is smack bang INLINE with Deacon/Jeffries (whichever one of them kicked the ball).

If he hadn't have been taken high, he was straight over closer to the sticks.

Seriously, watch the video again. Then come back and tell everybody that you're talking out of your booty.

Enjoy.

Not really, halley had his front fot in front of the kicker, the rules this season say the player should be behind the kicker, with both feet.

Its a moot point since les Cats still win and the points difference doesnt matter.

Ganson still made up the whole penalty try though, clearly he hadnt got enough time on the TV for his likeing.

We can argue about the first point all night, but we're both relying on footage we saw earlier rather than seeing it live in person from next to the touchline - so who knows who is right or wrong?

As for the rest, I'll agree.
