It would not have surprised me if Ratchford would have got sin binned for his high shot on Matty Ashurst as he went over for his try, but going off injured may have saved him a yellow card, especially after seeing some reffing decisions recently.

You don't think it might have been an 8 point try then?

Clearly reffed differently to the opening rounds, I suspect Fifita and Hughes would've picked up a yellow card otherwise. I guess we'll see on Monday if any of the tackles will recieve a ban.

I dont think an 8 point try would have been awarded as the offence was scoring the try and not after the try had been scored. If that makes sense.

Don’t think anything warranted a card today. Possibly only the raised elbow into Crowther face. I was very surprised it wasn’t penalised at the time.

An 8-point try is awarded for a foul in the act of scoring a try.

Yes, I commented on that at the time.
It galls me that tacklers are penalised (rightly) for head high shots, yet they do nothing about players with the ball who lead with the forearm.

Dboy if thats the case then it would seem that an 8 point try should have been awarded as it was an high tackle by Ratchford, but common sense would say no to a 8 pointer.

We had an 8 point try scored against us at Catalans when Adkins fouled their player in the act of scoring, that's why I brought it up.

At the moment it doesn’t seem that RL and common have ever met each other.
