I was never going to come on last night with emotions running high.
Honestly, deep down what response did you expect? I’ve not seen a single post on this forum from any other opposition fan that didn’t offer some sort of well done. It may not be intended and you normally come across as a reasoned sensible poster but recently you are coming across as bitter and jealous.
I don’t care who thinks what achievement is better. Any win over an Australian side is worth bragging about. RL is the number 1 sport down there, they have a bigger talent pool and significantly more funds.
The Wardle try - 100% the ball touched the line, it would be very easy to take a clip or a still to suit an agenda. The real debate is whether it was a double movement or not (incidentally this is what most of the Australians are discussing). Being honest I think we got the run of the green there but there is an argument to say the defenders helped him over the line.
The no try at the end - Correct decision under the rules, VR had no choice as it was sent up as a no try. If it was sent up as a try it would have been given as there was no real evidence either way. If we are going to force the ref to guess then as a sport we have to accept sometimes he will guess. Fields arms we’re certainly under the ball so it was not an unreasonable decision.
