If thaler had a pair of nads last night he would have given us a penalty after the hooter for an involuntary tackle by cudjoe I think it was

Also Russell was clobbered round the head by Robbie Savage, while he was prone, not moving and it came from behind and as a flop. Result = ignored by the ref.

Plus Lunt's late high swinging arm that didn't miss O'B. Result = ignored by the ref.

Let's face it, most things were ignored by the ref. Very poor from him last night.

I'll agree with you on this, Teesside.
This particular incident was equivalent to a swinging arm (in my book)
I just detest this shoulder charge rule.
Used properly, the shoulder (with the momentum of the body) going into the body (not the head) of the opposition player, is a thing of RL beauty.

To ban the shoulder charge as a whole, is plain wrong (again, in my book)

I agree, but that was purely and simply an attack to the head. ironic that the person doing the textbook tackle at the same time was Ryan Bailey.

Yes nearly 14 years, every age group at least once and open age. And more importantly so is Tony Smith and he didn't signal for two.

Against the opinion of someone who is perpetually wrong.

Can see Leeds choking here...

Saints player knocks the ball out of a Leeds player hand, knock-on against Leeds - another pearler from Silverwood.

Still, makes me feel a bit better about last night. At least there's enough referreing incompetence to go round.

Well say ing Leeds man played at that is one of the all time great bad decisions, but it's to our advantage. Wigan beaten too.

Brilliant results for us tonight!

We stay 3rd and if Cas win on Sunday we drop to 4th, next week Wigan play Leeds so that's another team around us dropping 2pts. We need to win our remaining games to guarantee top 4.

That's karma, on the other side of the field just prior to that Watkins or someone practically handed the ball forward to peacock which went unnoticed
