| Saddened who are you trying to fool with your try bollox...if that's a try then we may as well cross the try line and throw the ball downwards like yanky footy you lot know it weren't a try..just like the 3 yards pass at our gaff weren't a try..linehams try that was chalked is very dubious..end of day you had it shoved up you take it and stop crying...remember its always our year...

I'm not crying, I've said all along you deserved your win. Have some class like others on here. Even the Duck hasn't hit me with a 'told you so' yet.

I remember two bits of foul play in the match - the forearm smash by Makinson on Clark and the swinging arm by Taia on Toby King in the last ten minutes.

Indeed, Hicks was clear in his own mind that it wasn’t a try and gave the decision.
So why would he want to send it upstairs?
By the same argument Hicks was clear in his own mind that Philbin, BMM, Fages, and Clark had scored tries so awarded them.
In both cases Hicks was clear in his own mind and therefore had no need to go to video.
When he was unclear in his mind he went to video

Good examples, there were shoulder charges as well. I'm more on about the general policing of the ruck and offisides rather than violent play, it was all just ignored all game in the hope of having an open game.

Surely the leniency with the ruck and offsides were the same for both teams? Or are you getting at Saints being squeaky clean and Wire being constantly offside and messing at the ruck?

If I singled anyone out I'd still be posting until our next trophy in October.

| Saints fans of an age are still arguing about a Brian Bevan 'no' try FFS. That sort of bitterness will lead you to an early grave. In the ebb and flow of sport you get some and you miss some...thats life. Move on.

This 100% it seems to me that people only have a go when they don't agree with the outcome of a decision. People moan when they go to the screen too often and then when the ref is in a great position to make still moan. The ref took some guts after what he has been through recently to make that call as it was easier to go to the screen. The result has gone we either have to back the refs or change the whole set up of the video ref!

| Quote Saddened!="Saddened!"Slight correction here. Absolutely nothing wrong with a wall of obstruction provided those players get there before the attackers. As long as they don't deliberately move to block the run of the attacker it's fine. If they get there first and just stand there it's good defending. As it is when defenders run slowly towards the catcher, as long as they don't look where the attackers are and block them it's fine. Obviously, normal rules about obstruction then kick in when the player catches the ball, if he uses the shield to dodge the chasers or runs into them stopping a chaser tackling him then it would be a penalty.'"
After the kick has been made, players are deliberately moving to create an obstruction.... any move to impede/obstruct the path of a player is blatantly obstruction... it has to be.
You sometimes see the odd player doing it... but rehed moves with 3 players? I've not seen it done like that before.... cheating in my book.
