What had the ball on the ground have to do with it if his foot had previously been in touch?

Not too sure if you realise this but if they are within 1 or 2 metres of the ball on the ground then they are also within a few metres of his foot also, close enough to realise that his foot had not gone into touch, would you agree?

Oh dear. Tom Johnstone had his foot on the white line before he jumped for the ball and you cannot jump from out of the field of play to catch a ball. It was a no try because Johnstone’s foot was in touch before even catching the ball, can’t explain it any clearer than that.

Hi Moxi, he did not mate.

I was at the game but In the worst position in the stadium to judge what had happened and i assumed that’s what had happened by what people are saying. Now just watched the Highlights and it looks a good bet that his left foot hit the touchline as he jumped with the ball.

On the highlights, you can see that his left foot leaves a divot as he leaps, but there does not look to be any touchline involved. I accept it's very difficult though when it is so quick. On the one against Catalan, he looked nailed on to be in touch, until the replay showed otherwise.

Linesman didn't hesitate to put his flag up, he's looking straight down the line with a perfect view. I'll accept that - otherwise there's no point in having officials, and without them there's no RL.

I agree.

The knock-on was more difficult to accept because we were still ahead at that point and it was clearly a knock-on. But having said that, we didn't deserve to win. It's hard to criticise a defence that lets in just one try, but our attack was poor.

When it was 4-4, I remember thinking about the prospect of golden point that it was a game neither side deserved to win.

[quote="Cats13"]Looking at the pic I’ve seen, looks like a try to me.... win some lose some.[/quot
We had a "try" disallowed against salford,the in goal judge gave it,the referee from behind play called it off.Salford tapped on the 20 and scored 22-18 instead of 28-12,with 15 mins left.Tomkins got a 2 match ban for calling him a cheat,whether you like him or not,there was no reason to overule the in goal judge who had the perfect view.Video should be used at every game imo.Good luck for the rest of the season.

I was in the stand right in line with him.
As soon as he came down I said it was no try.
I had an unrestricted view from higher up so I'm pretty confident with my opinion.

One thing is 100% certain - the try was not disallowed because of the grounding so why is Chris Chester wasting his time looking frame by frame and complaining that Johnstone got it down?
