An additional proposal is to re-name a touch judge a ‘flag referee’ and to have him point his flag straight out in the manner of a football linesman when a player strays offside.
Earlier than that move, there had been a forward pass signalled by the touch judge but referee Watson chose to ignore it.
The ball carrier appeared to hit the corner flag before grounding the ball but after consultation with the Dale touch judge the referee awarded the try.
Both players were reported at the insistence of a touch judge, however the Rugby Football League executive has ruled that neither player has a case to answer.
However, the referee over-ruled his touch judge and decided that Airey had knocked the ball on as he grounded it - which Airey rejected afterwards - thus denying Kendal their first points of the game.
