I just took it as the refs being under a little fan pressure to not give anything to Saints for the next few games.

You tend to find when people independence is called into question they will go above and beyond to show they are not trying to favour one side. It will be like this for a little while until some other side becomes the refs supposed bias and then that side will get a more microscopic examination of their game and then the playoffs will kick in and the refs and fans will settle down and not be so up tight about refs and more about the players.

That use to happen when we had Ganson on our games, rather than favour us most of the time he would over officiate us to make absolutely sure he wasn,t bias.
For some reason Ian Smith always seemed to be biased against, his history of disallowing our trys or finding a way to penalise us was horrendous.
