Which do you think was the most likely outcome from the TMO?

Personally I think Porter got lucky in that there was a try scored.


I think the TMO probably viewed it as penalty only and given try was scored, no need to bring it to Barnes attention.

I think it's a little overdone, they got 3 sides to the qfs like, but the salary cap cuts and the bankruptcy of the 2 clubs with rumours swriling about Newcastle and LI can't be nice. I don't know what the add ons are but they're operating at .5m more than the Welsh sides.
