Vid ref Russell Smith denies Nightingale what looked to be a fair try - ruled foot on touch line despite replays showing it wasnt

One set earlier Sharks kick into Saints in-goal, Morris knocks it dead yet Checcin wrongly rules 20m tap instead of what shouldve been a goal line drop out with Sharks regaining possession.

5 tackles later Replay Russell throws out the rule book & squares it all up

If that was a square up ruling then where was the square up for their first try with no less than TWO FORWARD PASSES?

one of the worst video calls ive ever seen

two wrongs dont make a right, square up or not the bloke should be sacked

Tbh I thought the passes were flat at worst....was a good try the first one.

Still cant believe that no try ruling though...massive call.
Two massive errors in succesion

I was watching it at the pub with the sound down, but Im talking about the Dragons right winger who's foot was clearly on the line. No try.

Let me first say that the Sharks were the better team and deserved to win. The first try surely had two forward passes. As for the non line drop out I thought at the time that it was about time Saints got a lucky call go their way but then the no try was just something else.

Look I am cometely unbiased.
Had it been Morris I would've said he was clearly in the field of play. No one would argue that.
But Florence has bigger feet and must've been on the line.

Square up?? Maybe, but we were dudded at the other end so it's not an issue.

Never ever Let that gimp in the box again. Whatever happened at he other end has nothing to do with getting that decision correct.

It truly baffles me how video refs can so consistently come up with these howlers on an almost weekly basis. We should just go back to leaving it in the hands of the infield officials
