[QUOTE="OXY-351, post: 2452882, member: 2107"] Your previous post below would seem to indicate that you think a ref needs to be absolutely certain to award a penalty try. If that was the case, when would a penalty try ever be awarded? It's not physically possible to ever be "absolutely certain" of something that didn't happen. Show me any penatly try since 1908 where you could be sure the player would have scored had it not been for the foul play? I never said you changed your argument. I said that if you thought that there was too much doubt (which it sounds like you do), then that's fine as it's down to everyone's personal interpretation, but that's different to your original argument where the precense of any doubt, no matter how small, should see a penalty try not awarded. If you're still sticking to the argument that there must be "abolsute certainty", then maybe have a read below, which is Bill Harrigans view on the matter. Note the use of the phrases "likelihood" and "reasonable to beleive". He's not sayin Inglis would have scored for ceratin, because that's not what is required for ruling a penalty try. I'd rather a referee with the experience of Bill Harrigan agree with me on the rules, than some anonymous person on the internet. I'll ask again though, what you think would have happend if there was no illegal play by Ferguson? Do you think Inglis would have scored? [/QUOTE]
