No I've not.
Read my post again. Then, if you've got the game recorded, rewatch these incidents, and compare them to the current RL rules.
The current rules state that if a ref's call is No Try, there has to be CONCLUSIVE proof to overturn it. THERE WASN'T. At no time, could you see the ball TOUCHING a single blade of grass, whilst over the line.
After multiple viewings of the Lineham effort, Hemmings and Stephenson decide to get their knickers in a twist. Yet there is no conclusive proof that the ball left his body.
I'm not really a crower, but......

After a response like that I can kind of understand why you're drawn to soccer.

| For once Saints DON'T get the rub of the green. BOO HOO. We were harshly done to with the VR against Wigan, it happens. Still would have been 18-16/14 regardless. As others have said, the current rules state the VR needs conclusive proof to overturn the onfield decision.

You are lucky he did since Walsh palmed it back to hill with all of your team behind him, we would have been on zero tackle right up the field. It wasn't a bad call anyway, but thaler still did you a favour.

Spot on use of the term rub of the green. At the game rather than on the goggle box I thought we had the rub tonight it happens that's the nature of sport and it's not often we have it.
BTW (by the way) Lefty's analysis was spot on it's the ref calling try/no try and not being able to be conclusively overturned that worked in our favour. Thought Saints' first try had a hint of forward for the last pass.
Overall we deserved the result and yes got the 'rub' it's about time

| After the crap we've had off that lot, results and decisions, since early 2000's, that was a long time coming. The fact that it was a semi-final and they've got their pants in a twist about the ref makes it even sweeter.
F 'em

I agree there has to be conclusive proof, and this is why we differ, because I thought Peyroux's was conclusive. You can see the ball hitting the white line. The video ref, as with everyone watching, knew it was a try and did not have the courage to overturn it. I also think Lineham's knock on conclusively dropped forward. That said, if you don't think it was conclusive then we can only agree to disagree and the scoreline is definitely conclusive.

Disagree about Lineham, he never fully lost control, not clean but it was a try all the same, I agree about the peyroux try. I was laughing my nuts off when that wasn't given. Swings and roundabouts, same as the try awarded to Wigan against a couple of weeks ago, poor call. We definitely deserved it though. Hopefully we will finish the job next week.

| Nobody has mentioned the two Walmsley dives that manufactured 4 points for Saints. He's amazingly delicate for such a big lad.

Absolutely, the dive for the penalty that made it 8-10 was plain embarrassing.
