Question regarding westwoods try given. Doesnt the ball have to be grounded whilst in control with the hand? when he was tackled it was in his hand short of the line then the ball came out of his grasp and was half way down to his elbow when it was finally at the line surely thats a knock on wheres the control ?

Yes I questioned that too. After grounding short Westwood appeared to loose control of the ball with his hands and his momentum took the ball over the line but it seemed to be rolling under him and certainly not in control.

I agree. Had it happened in a tackle in the field of play it would have been a knock on.

Said exactly the same thing last night and i also thought it was harsh pulling Kylie back for "obstruction" when he went clean through the line and imo prevented no-one in the defensive line.

I didn't object to the Kylie obstruction even though nobody was impeded. Like the Higham offside incident, if it's to the letter of the law then at least we have a better chance of gaining consistency.

On another refereeing note, I'm not sure the ball was dead when Silverwood blew for half time. Warrington lost position but then Hall picked it up and had Hardaker inside him - I think we were entitled to run the length to score or did I miss something?

Not sure you and many others like you were watching the same game as me but then your Blue and Amber specs would have got in the way wouldnt they!!
Mr Silverwood had a good game , he gave it as he saw it and was consistant which all you can ask of a referee .

Suggest some of the critics of referees should try it themselves to see how hard it actually is !!!!

What about BJB's effort that was ruled out? He touched down on the junction of the try line and touchline. I'm not suggesting the VR was wrong, I'm just unsure of what the rules say when that happens.

A ball on the line is out so touching down on the junction of touchline and try line is touch-in-goal so the decision was correct.

Who was mom for Cas today?

It was always going to be a hard game for cas after the cup final last week
