Eight point try? : Sat Mar 11, 2017 10:24 am  

Seriously was that a eight point try ? You see that nearly every single week. I don't think It would have made difference to the score at all but it's two weeks in a row we've had two unusual calls against us.

How many teams have a eight point try against them in a season? How many have a penalty try against them in a season? We've had both in two weeks.

Our discipline isn't good enough but jesus we getting hammered on the penalty count big time.

Every game I watch that involve Robert Hicks and Phil Bentham are ruined due to them awarding penalties for everything.

I thought the penalty try was fair. I thought the 8 pointer was fair on first viewing. Subsequent viewings I thought it was maybe overcooked.

As for the penalties, it's not the refs imo. I used to shout at the ref for awarding penalties. Now I find myself shouting at the players! Some of those penalties are just stupid. You can see them coming, and I don't understand why the players can't!

Could he not have gone to the video ref ?

No it wasn't and as a PieEater I think the foul on Walmsley which got him over charged should have been a red card to the Hull player.

Saints player put on report for brushing past Bentham ?? This is becoming a joke , quite clearly accidental , quick word from the VR sorts it there and then . No case to answer .

slid into carlos with his knees, does that on the field of play its a penalty, so correct decision

as for the turget incident, no complaints, but how peyroux got away with just a penalty and no sin bin for a blatent shoulder charge on sneyd is why many fans get peed off with our officials!

That was exactly how I saw it. I think he should have checked with the video ref. Turgut should have been sent off and Peyroux given at least 10 minutes.

On the replay it clearly shows he didn't slide in wirh his knees. All on the sky team agreed.

He should have gone to the video ref as the game was still on knife edge. I don't think the eight point try changed the game tbh, I think Hull was the better team and deserved the win without shadow of a doubt.

it was late, still a penalty as he made contact with carlos well after he grounded the ball

Not sure it's in the VR protocol that can allow a view. I watched this game as a neutral by the way.
First view looked bad, second view on sky looked innocuous, third and subsequent view looked again and went yep it deserved action there was no need for him to do it. Flow of a game can effect these types of decisions. Was it accidental or deliberate? With what had happened earlier in the game with that player were his actions as a result of that and was he looking for some revenge?.
Fwiw for me I think the shoulder charge on Sneyd could easily have been yellow, that was a let off. The elbow on the ground yellow was sufficient, I thought that had given you the game though.
