It was a text book double movement. The rules are clear on this, once the ball carrying arm touches the ground the player is tackled as long as an opposition player is touching him. If the tackled player then slides over the line without moving the ball carrying arm then the tackle is deemed complete at the point the slide stops. If a player lifts the ball carrying arm and advances the ball this is classed as a double movement. Defo no try.
Apart from the forward pass Ainscough's try was well taken by a young lad, i thought he was in touch but watching it on telly at home he did very well to lift his leg.
Well done tonight, its nice to have the competative derby back. Cant believe sky have demoted us to Thursday night and moved the hull derby to good friday.

Success consists of getting up just one more time than you've fallen down.

It's one thing letting the game flow but at some point you have to apply the rules.

It always is. O'loughlin was never square all night either, with Wigan generally having their hand on the ball to slow Saints down.
As for no glaring howlers, Tomkins knock-on, which resulted in ansother six tackles, was a shocker.
Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union.
