What an appalling decision for Leeds' last try from a blatant forward pass.

RL need to resign the deal with Specsavers. Mistakes like that are damaging the credibility of the game especially when perceived to be in the favour of the so called bigger clubs.

Great effort to score the last two tries and Leeds know they were very lucky and you guys have been robbed.

100% correct, plus other decisions from child.(cas fan)

You do know refs ain't sponsored by specsavers anymore

The post say they should resign the deal.....

I can read, you cant resign summat that does not exist

RE-sign

rather than resorting to pedantism do you think the pass was forward or not?

Exactly! The word used was resign! Re sign is a totally different meaning.
Danny ward was happy enough with the claimed forward pass!

Again do you think it was a forward pass yes or no?

Looking at the way the ball leaves the blokes hands, speed he was moving at, and where the ball landed, no I dont think it was passed forward. And that's me watching the game as a London supporter.
Its physics
If yr travelling at 12mph and throw a ball sideways it's still travelling forward thats not a forward pass though.
Knock child as much as you want he was in perfect position to see the play.
The fact the ball was picked up over the 20 mtr line is where it ended up after it bounced is irrelevant.

I understand momentum but ball was picked up on the 10 metre line not the 20 so what were you watching?

Probably the ref.

I stand corrected, 10mtr not 20mtr still stand by the view it wasn't not passed fwd though.
Think the players reaction say a lot as well, not one of the London players reacted after the try was given

I think Mylers face shows a different side and he would be the one to know best.

You had enough off Child. 9 penalties to 3 for a start.

Why would Myles face show the picture, think he was just relieved to get the try.
As for the penalty count. Shocking suggestion taxi! Dont you know we get penalised more than any club and everybody is against us apparently!
Difference is despite penalty count going in our way in a lot of games we cant turn that into points where other teams do

We didn't do enough to win the game, a game that was there for the taking. Abdull kicking out twice on the full, kicking through the in goal on the third.

We didn't put much together in the way of expansive attack. Disappointed not to get the points. Leeds were poor.

So you note that no London player complained and yet when I note how Richie Myler looked you ask why? When a contentious decision is made is it only one side that can show emotion? And for what it's worth I don't for one minute think that was a look of relief, you could see the change when the try was awarded, prior to that he doesn't show any sign of joy or relief, its more of confusion I would say.

More a look of where did that come from and how on earth did I score it, and relief.
The pass had momentum! Imo it came out of the hands backwards.
It's quite noticable that as mentioned in another thread one of our tries that looked like a true fwd pass is ignored by London fans.
Child could not have been better positioned for the myler try. He made the right call

There were at least two Broncos players, including Jay Pitts, who queried the decision.

Which pass are you talking about for the Myler try ? The one to Sutcliffe looked the more dubious one to me and Child didn't seem to be particularly close to that or have a great view as there were players in the way.

The Abdul pass to Pitts (which he then returned for the try) certainly did look forward. So I'm not sure we were robbed but neither am I convinced the ref got things right.

That pass was maybe a foot forward.....as I've posted on the VT



A couple of feet is momentum, but the fact the ball bounces a meter in front of it's intended recipient, who was travelling at the same speed as the passer and was 2 Meters behind him when the ball was passed, points to this being a forward pass, pure and simple.

London deserved to lose, because as usual they started both half's 10 minutes late, but Leeds can consider themselves very lucky if this decision either turns their season around or simply keeps them up......
