The professional foul is him preventing him from scoring. The fact that they awarded a penalty try negates that.
Not according to the rules it doesn't. No where in the rule book does it say that a professional foul can be offset by a penalty try. A penalty try is still an infringement (a penalty), obviously.
The professional foul is comitted to stop a try being scored, if they award the try anyway, it would be very harsh to send the player off as well.
Yeah, this. Professional foul is usually committing a deliberate foul to prevent a try being scored. If you award the try, you can't call the foul imo.
Don't see how that was a penalty try.. if he didn't grab Inglis early before he got the ball, he still had a decent chance of getting to him.
Plus inglis had to catch it and get it down cleanly under the attention.. Which is why I was for a sin bin and penalty.
They take 500 looks at ones where all they have to do is put a hand on a rolling ball, this had much more opportunity to go wrong.
Am I imagining things or did Pettybourne fair dinkum punch Sam Williams in the head David Fa'alogo style?
There's no way it was a penalty try imo, needs to be a definite and no one can say he definitely would of scored. If he was on the try line fair enough but he was about 7-8 metres out anything could've happened. If it wasn't Inglis, say someone like Evringham I don't reckon they rule that a penalty try.
With a penalty try, is the person who commits the foul deemed out of the play when considering whether he would have scored? If not, I reckon it shouldn't have been called. Even if he didn't tackle Inglis early, if he waited and still pushed him/hit him when he caught it, you can't guarantee he would have grounded it.
