It was a clear penalty. It was quite a relief to get it after his steadfast refusal to not give Saints a penalty whilst on your line in the last ten minutes. There were several opportunities for him to do it, the one where Elima pushed Wilkin back was borderline ridiculous.

Yep it was, a bit brainless from Lynch!

Diskin might get into trouble with.his comments, and he was wrong. Deffo penalty. Great game. Fair result.

Dubious penalty. Which ever way it would have been given would have left somebody upset.

There were many worse challenges unpunished in the match.

Dubious??? A deffo clear cut penalty, Lynch moved across and put shoulder in..no need to do it as we had cover there..can shoulder charge if running in same direction and dont purposefully move across to do it, but Lynch did..absolutely stupid and should apologise to rest of players.

I thought it was as blatant a shoulder on the kicker as you could get. It was seconds after the ball had left, absolutely idiotic as he didn't need to do it.

It was a poor kick which we had covered and he could have easily gotten away with it if he just ran without looking at the man. Lynch lined him up and moved in with the shoulder. I still belive that any contact and it would have ended up a penalty. Hope RFL don't charge Diskin for his comments however

Penalty for sure.

It's one thing to run along side a player and challenge for the ball, quite another to step across a player and shoulder barge without chasing for the ball.

The only dubious thing is why?

The fullback was quite capable of covering.

Funny how a penalty in the last second is controversial when the 2 no tries are suddenly not critical at all.

The disallowed tries were not tries.

At first it looked like a harsh decision but the video replay proved otherwise.

A very silly thing to do as Saints would not have got to the ball anyway.

A blatant penalty and stupid play by lynch as it was a nothing kick and would have been cleared up by the defence. Thing diskin and potter may feel different when they see it again

Probably would agree but i have seen try's like the first one given plenty of times

I've seen them and hear Stevo saying oooo they have grounded it with the belly button, before now.

True the 2nd one had a call for obstruction, but the obstructed guy did manage to get his arms around Lomax's neck.

From in the ground it looked like it was. Lynch could have avoided it though. Silly mistake IMO.

Stupid decision by Lynch, crappy inconsistent refereeing though!

Believe me i have seen softer obstructions and groundings calls be given as tries but they just weren't tries. At the end of the Day i do feel robbed but c'est la vie as Elima would say

Well no change at the top, we all played pants. So nothing lost but nothing gained either.

God knows what will happen in the Wigan game. 7 or 8 players to suffer heart attacks no doubt. Could be some very sore bodies, next week.

On the bright side Meli will be fresh on the down side Tomkins (aka rat boy) (aka boo boy) (aka arm holder ) will be fresh.

Makes no odds..lomax could have been tackled 8metres out if he wasnt obstructed..just because he was tackled after he ran past it was still an obstruction to begin with.

I did say there was a call for it, did not admit it was clear cut as dixon was stood still when the player ran into him. The fact he was stood still in the Bradford line is more the question. If it was Wilkin I'd say yeh it was obstruction, being Dixon, I'd be more inclined to say he was waiting for the number 54.

Fair penalty.

I have to say penalty now. At the time I was seething, but with hindsight, damn stupid by Lynch. Kearney had it covered.
The galling thing is the total inconsistency. Jeffries taken out several times after kicking through - no penalties. Herbert flattened late and high by Wilkin - nothing. It's just the usual story really.

My wife said after we went ahead - we only need to keep Saints out until the end and we will win! My reply: "Don't worry, Child will give them a penalty in the last minute." And bang on cue....

I think it was a pentalty,the tries are 50/50 calls and could of gone eitherway.As for Wilkin on the kickers well i think he was comited to it everytime and in those conditions its hard to stop anyway.All in all though i think you played the conditions far better than we did.

Soft decision.

Committed to what though? Taking Herbert out or charging for the ball?

I thought the penalty was justified, but so were a fair few others that weren't given throughout the game but that's sport. We deserved to take 2 points from today's game IMO, I thought we were the better side all things considered.

Just relieved to see the team playing well and defending as a team now. Big game against Hull next week, let's hope we have some energy left in the tank after that effort in tough conditions!
