The point I try to make is that the match is a tactical and physical challenge lasting 80 mins involving 34 platyers, your example covers an activity lasting a split second.
The losing team in your example lost the game over 80 mins, the split second knock on only contributed to the loss.
Over 4 games Halifax lost the 4 games because over each 80 min period they did not score as many points as Whitehaven..... didn't defend as well as us, OR were not as fit as us, OR didn't have the tactics OR the players to beat us etc.
Its not luck, as most losing coaches would confirm.
Point made !
