It IS BORING!,

shift up to sky sports 2 netball if you dont like it

So who is it that doesn't understand the knock on rule - Stuart Cummins or Ganson/Smith? My monies on the latter.

Leeds had Saints on the ropes but id say they failed to land a punch never mind a knock out punch.

Have you played in Super League?

HAVE YOU ?

If not what is your point ?

I actually think it was a knock on but I still think a try should have been given. I don't agree with the video ref being used for things that far back. I think the ref has already made his decision on that play whether it's right or wrong.

Shocking referring saints and particularly hohia were always laying on holding on in the tackle and where never penalises. The drop out that lead to the Manson try should have been a Leeds penalty as Roby made no attempt to be square at the tackle Hate bagging the rf but silver wood is possibly the worst referee of all time.

A fantastic game like that and people are calling it boring. Wow!

That Leaguefan has a penchant for replying to criticism of referees with telling people to become a ref.
If he hasn't played in SL and isn't going to in the future then his opinion on play is no more valid than everyone else's opinions on refs.

Exactly!
Well played Saints. Personally I think a draw would probably have been fair but Saints found a great play at the end.

Who's Manson?

Roby was square, it was makinson who wasn't. However makinson had no involvement in the play. There are plenty of incidents for both sides of ifs buts and maybes but it wasn't a deciding factor for the game.

For example, after watching it several times, I still don't know who was offside for the penalty to take it to 8-6. Or is this another week of my team lost to saints because of the ref?

Well it appeared that they are blessed at the moment, doesn't it. The sky team where ing for a saints win. It seems pre ordained that saints are to win super league this year or at least top the table.

Mate, it wasn't the ref that lost you that game. To go on about it takes away on what should of been a great spectacle.

Yes I agree the sky team were cringeworthy, but then, when aren't they?

Leeds never really had saints on the ropes. Leeds had nothing in attack apart from a few drop outs and saints dealt with it comfortably.

OP I thought you were leaving the forum.

glad saints won in the end even as a Wigan supporter as Leeds looked ordinary in attack and played pretty negatively.

Leeds played a conservative percentage game. They looked at the lineup and particularly Saints pack and bench. They concluded Saints would fade and all they had to do was complete their sets and grind it out against the Saints kids. 9 times out of 10 it would have worked but Saints were outstanding in defense.

At the hour mark Leeds should have started throwing it about a bit, Saints were blowing but Leeds didn't stick the knife in.

You left in ignominy. What HAPPENED?

And why are you watching SOOOOPER DOOOPER LEAGUE anyway?

Saints B team takes on the Leeds A team and win




But of course it was the ref that turned the game, so how many penalties and decisions went Leeds way???????

That's not exactly true mate. Yes Saints performed admirably, and were missing many players. But despite what the Sky commentators tell you, Leeds were missing three themselves, lost another in build up to kick off, and lost another 20 mins into match. So to say Leeds were full strength is an Inaccuracy.

Saints should have been penalised much more than they were, but at the same time Leeds should have been pulled on a fair few occasions for forward passes at the play the ball.

Saints played with 13 past and present academy players last night, Leeds still had 10 international players on show, idid Leeds underestimate a greatly depleted pack.

That's quite a bit of spin. Leeds also played with 12. I am sure one day a fair few of those Saints lads will be internationals.

I wasn't looking for excuses, I was only pointing out a fact. The sky commentators did not paint the correct picture last night.
