It’s not really Bains fault the ref was far away though especially if Bain was convinced he’d scored. I suppose depends what the ref and he said but if it was a try then it should never have got to that point anyway.
The radio said Bain slammed it down which made the ball shoot up but were convinced he’d scored so referred to it as a bizarre passage of play and a talking point.
I guess we will see more tonight with a closer angle I’d think.
One thing it highlights is the need for in goal touch judges. I’m very surprised that we don’t have them in the championship.
It’s immaterial now to be honest what he got binned for , luckily it didn’t cost us the game and lesson learned .It can happen if you petulantly kick or throw a ball away,I remember our very own Chris Perry getting sat out for 10 all those years ago .

Luckily it is immaterial. Hard to say too with the stand being empty. Let’s hope Bain doesn’t slam dunk another one over the line vs fax and scores in a gentle manner

Think you mean Colum Halpenny v Wigan.
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as me.

Well it’s no wonder Bain wasn’t happy as he clearly scores the try with a few fingers on it that bend when it hits floor (aided by the clubs footage being slowed to make the point haha) and to make it worse the ref isn’t far away.
It’s a good job it didn’t matter. Gale and Jowitt were both shocked at the card from the ref too and you can see why.
All Bain did was walk to ref asking why it wasn’t a try and he got instantly binned. That’s incredibly poor and if you get binned for that then why aren’t we seeing 5-10 players binned every round. Momorovski for example got told by ref this week to go away 2/3 times after swearing at him and arguing and still didn’t get binned.
The inconsistencies are terrible in our sport in regards officiating.
