Is the Saints1890 account on Twitter official? On there it says Royce says the officials had an off day today and also that Saints have only had 3 penalties for offside all season.

Yes, the Saints 1890 is the official account.

Just watched the replay...their first try was scored on the SEVENTH tackle on the back of the pathetic video ref decision!!! Unbelievable!!!

Really? Sure it wasn't a zero tackle?

I see Royce's comments are now up on the official website. We have only received 3 penalties for offside this season, which given how quickly Roby works from dummy half is frankly shocking.

Royce also says he will be having a word or two with Cummings about the refereeing.

I thought the ref let to much messing about at the play the ball go today. To many messing trying to rip the ball out.

He got the lynch pen call spot on IMO.

It was from a 20 metre restart mate! "First!, second!, third!, third!, fourth!, last!"...

It was tough for Child today given the conditions, missed the odd one or two but i didnt think he was disastrous.

Bradford scoring a try on the seventh tackle after a 20mt restart isnt too good.

Saints won the penalty count and got the right call to sneak a draw. Curious that Gaskell kicked the ball 42 out, it bounced on the 40 and bobbled, but the penalty kick was taken from the 30 metre line. Not where the offence occured or the ball first bounced.

Wilkin got away with a bad one on Herbert. Roby also got away with a bit of a naughty one.

Maybe because that's not the rule when it's grubbered through like that? The kick is taken from where the ball finishes or is first made contact with by a player.
