Saying that, I'm watching last night's Boots N All, and they're discussing Gaskell's interception try against Widnes.
Jon Sharp has basically said,
=#FF0000[i"We haven't refered interceptions to the video referee since 2006, when the referees went full time. If there is a player offside from an interception, it doesn't go to the VR, unless the touch judge intervenes."[/i.

Bomber chipped in and said he thinks every interception should go to the VR, so if that was the case, Hall's try would've obviously been disallowed, as would Gaskell's.

Begs the question, why didn't the touch judges spot either of them?

Edited for just the sheer laugh of it

The alleged accidental offside that Cummings and O'Connor agreed with?

Whether you think it bizarre is totally immaterial. I'm telling you that this is what happens. I've personally received instructions that have ranged between: "whatever you see, come on and I'll back you up" to "we're on telly today, so all I want you to do is mark touch and flag goals".

Don't believe me? Try using "Ask the ref" and see what they say.

I don't agree with using Grade 1 refs as Touchies, they are two completely different jobs and require completely different approaches. Far better to use a pool of dedicated TJs.

I also think Refs and TJs should be permanently teamed, we'd soon see if any patterns were developing then.

Doesn't accidental off side incur a penalty and not a scrum. Thought he'd given a knock-on. No hang on it is a scrum still thought he'd given Horne knocking on.

Sounds like you're still crying. Diddums.
