I never said it was both. That’s not possible.



Powell said he didn’t kick the ball. I didn’t see him kick a ball live either and I am interested to see the game back to see what happened more out of curiosity. Luckily it wasn’t costly.

I think he was sin binned for dissent, i.e. "the offence of disagreeing with a decision made by the referee" after the ref. made the decision not to award the try by Bain

I’m just going off what The Powell said unless he’s got it wrong but I assume he would know.



The dissent could be because Bain was accused of throwing the ball away after what he feels was a try (and sounded it hearing live commentary). In effect that could be 2 x errors by officials which would be very poor.



It won’t change anything but I will be interested to pay it attention on the replay.



It could be it wasn’t a try and he did throw the ball away but indicators are that it was a bizarre decision (according to the radio replay)

You will get your answer because I expect the full match video will be available today.

Hopefully, most Tuesday evenings I watch the replay and put the feet up.



As for Rodwell, thought he was a big miss vs Widnes but I think we lacked that punch from the bench with Uele starting.



Think I’d have Uele on bench vs Fax for that big impact. I wouldn’t mind seeing Shaw get a run as interchange prop or Boothroyd if fit vs Fax and Bain going to 13 in place of Kay on bench who had a bit of a mare.

As I think, I remember it (gray cells and old age) Bain covered quite a distance to "talk" to the ref and was then carded.

The incident itself, I don't recall him kicking it, but the ball seemed to squirt up after touch down, no idea if it was a try or not, just too far away.

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.

IIRC Col placed the ball over the fence at the flats end of the ground

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.
