snookered place cue ball again back

[geertmoreau]

I don't understand one rule not so well. In the sem final uk open between trump and wilson, wilson needed 3 snookers in the .th frame.
He made a fabulous snooker behind the black ball. Trump missed the red one he needed to have. Wilson came back to the table and played the red one... why didn't he asked to put the cue ball back behind the black ball ?
Kind regards from a belgian snookerfan

Balls aren't replaced if the person laying snookers needs snookers to win the frame. If they can still win or tie without foul strokes then they can ask for balls to be replaced.

It is if any player needs "snookers" before or after the stroke, "and the referee is satisfied that the miss was not intentional", a Miss will not be called; not just the player needing snookers.
