    It's no try for Leeds' Aidan Sezer.

    Video referee Ben Thaler studies a number of angles of his attempt to ground the ball, to see whether his ball-carrying arm touches the ground.

    He decides there's a double movement meaning 'essai refuse' - or 'no try' in English.

    Catalans v Leeds (20:00 BST)

    Here's how next week's Super League semi-finals will work.

    League Leaders' Shield winners St Helens are the number one ranked side in this season's play-offs. They will play the lowest ranked winner of the eliminators.

    Wigan, who finished second at the end of the regular season, will take on the highest ranked side remaining after this weekend's eliminators.

    For example, Salford finished sixth this season. Should they beat Huddersfield in Saturday's eliminator, they will take on St Helens as they would be the lowest ranked side left.
