i know liam watts has been getting big raps. but the kid is a penalty machine. the one he gave away on the last tackle must have been one of the dumbest i have seen all year

Because ever since the publication of The Laws of the Game of Rugby League, there has to be a reason to disallow a try. If you can't find a reason to disallow it, it is allowed. Now that has served the game well for over 100 years.
What's your problem?

Seems like you only have an issue with it when goes against you. One word...... Hypocrite!

As was the case the week before last against castleford for Watts try, perhaps you should enlighten some of your own fans as to the rules.

Got exactly what we deserved, errors, indiscipline and coughing the ball up equals losing the game.
I'm not going to single anyone out (at the moment, might do later!) as a few people had terrible games but what's most disappointing for me was after awful performances against Wigan and Huddersfield we looked to be getting on track last week. We then serve up the worst forty minutes of the season.
Credit has to go to Wakefield. They hardly made any mistakes had a very efficient game plan that the whole team stuck to and in Tronc and Brough had the two best players. Seriously, how many times did we have to start sets from our own ten metre line? Brough murdered us, bisecting the winger and full back, kicking on the fourth tackle from second receiver and even getting the ball from acting half and hammering it down field. Excellent stuff, if I'd have been watching him do it against any other team!
Referee had a decent game, hopefully he'll continue to develop.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

I prefer the Refs Call used in Australia. If the video is inconclusive, let the ref make the decision based on his gut feeling from the field. Maybe that goes on informally, as you wouldn't want to be in a position where the on-field ref would have disallowed a try and then the video ref gives it because he can't tell.
If I can understand how the try can be given, I don't have too much of a problem with it, and I could see how Thaler, the Wakefield resident, fan, and previous awarder of a penalty try against Hull KR, the only one I have ever seen live, thought it was on the line. If his mike had been turned on, you would have heard him shout "get in!" as Tronc barged forward.
