For the Salford one the bloke catching the ball was a yard in front of the player when he passed it so technically a penalty but these are never given and just instead penalised as a forward pass.
The Leeds one was probably forward as well but was more marginal as if McGuire doesn't get knocked back in the tackle on release it would have possibly looked marginal/flat at best. Could have gone either way but they are 50/50 calls. There is however no way on earth that your forward pass try was a 50/50 as it was forward all day long as the passer threw it to a man stood well in front of him.
Your team are definitely on the up and will be a force next year. Console yourself with that.
Great game to watch and one of the best if not THE best atmospheres I've heard at your new ground.'"
I think we both need to go! Was re-watching the game pretty late and was half dozing off at points. Thought I'd give it another fresh look this morning and from the ref cam it does look like it Rapira's hands are actually facing forward. Fages was nowhere near a yard in front though when it was passed!
Anyway, pretty disappointed we didn't manage to grab at least a draw but enjoyed the game. It's a shame Chase passed the ball forward to Evalds on the final play as the kick to the corner to Johnson looked like it might have been on.
Harris' improvements to the side there to be seen again. Still the odd frustrating lapse in concentration but defensively we're probably playing as good overall as we have done in a long time.
Looking forward to Wigan away, can't see us getting anything there though.
