It was a clean shoulder charge. The ancient touchie with the clearly dodgy eyes saw his head go back and assumed TP had hit his head. But that's what a big shudder can do to your head!

Never a sending off. Ridiculous.

Well it seems ALL the studio pundits disagree. They think that the shoulder hit the head.

The disciplinary will sort it out on Tuesday, and they are neutral.

You've got to factor in the way Henderson goes into the tackle. If you had a son or a Grandson approaching a tackle like that, going up against a big guy and he leant in with his head, you wouldn't be too happy about it. It's very poor technique from Henderson, there is no attempt from TP to attack the head.

Pathetic. Shoulder contact and his arm came up after , disgusting decision given by Ian Smith the worlds worst ref

Don't think it was Smith - it was one of the famous chuckle brothers again. The two linesmen seem to work together and are absolutely garbage.
Some very strange decisions in the match coming fron a normally level headed Thaler - on this and many other occasions these two linesmen /ass ref guys come on to the pitch with their selective recall versions of reality.

I can only think that Sky / The RFL are getting them for free, expenses only, on some sort of extended day trip from the local home as part of the RFL/Sky's contribution to their care.

And them 3 clowns on Sky Sports, half the time, you dont know what the hell their on about, they go off on one, why the hell start talking about bloody Rangi Chase in the middle of a game, who the hell cares, for one, and for two, shouldnt that be a discussion for that stupid boring show, boots n clarkey!!!! FFS GOD HELP OUR GAME

A terrible sending off decision, and I think he will get no further punishment.
Luckily Saints didn't lose as a result.
It's a real potential game changer when someone gets sent off compared with the usual 'on report'. Whoever made this decision is an @rsehole.

Thaler just gets sillier.
That try by the Catalans when the scorer hit the post in the action of scoring a try demonstrated it.
Thaler was in the best position in the park but still passed it upstairs.
Sign of the times I suppose, better to be safe than sorry.
Yet he disallowed instantly another Catalans attempt when the bloke dropped it in the action of trying to score.
Both were obvious, but only one went upstairs.
But neither should have.

Was a penalty, nothing more. Thought your defence tonight was excellent. You got the better of some dodgy calls, but to defend as many 'danger' sets as you did deserves credit.

Seems you could be coming good at playoff time once again.
