I don’t think any of our players were in a position to claim a try. It was too quick for everyone except Hicks who saw exactly what happened and didn’t need any assistance. In any case there was no real opportunity to complain as the game was carrying on at a rapid pace. If someone had protested and not got back into position for the tap and they’d gone 80m they’d be hung out to dry and rightly so. Anyway, its just going round in circles this so I’m out now!

I don’t think you have to claim a try in rugby league. Should we ask them to shout ‘Owzat’? The process exists and considering 10,000 people cheered for a try it may have been a clue that something had happened.
I am surprised no reference has been made to the in goal official. Did he have any input into the "crime scene decision". Come to think I can't recall seeing him in the replays that followed.
There is only a goal line official in Super League and not in Rugby Challenge Cup matches
Once a blue always a blue
Looks like he still in hiding in London, not venturing North yet, got the London V Leeds game on Sunday, making sure he isn't on Television. I can't wait for the reception when he next "referees " at St Helens. I'm sure there must be some way we can show how welcome he is and how we appreciated his version of being a neutral official in a lawful way obviously
Warrington fans didn’t cheer obviously. There was doubt in the Saints fans. I thought it was a try. Guy in front of me thought it wasn’t a try live. They brought in a thing most now refer to as ‘the screen’ a few years ago where doubt exists like this. You don’t always see it though as the referee tends to pick and choose when it’s used so we can develop more inconsistencies in the game.
