I was thinking the same.

Decisions sometimes go for you and sometimes against.

What is inexcusable was Thalers different interpretation of last weeks and tonights game. Last week he wouldn't use the video referee, tonight he wouldn't make a decision without one.

It's what drives all fans crazy.

tbh I was quite happy last week and apart from the red card I'm quite chuffed tonight. Peed on your bonfire of course which is a bonus

I'd like to see the rules on what the the ref can check for with the video ref.

It's a shame we are talking about the ref when we've just seen a top class exciting game.

You call that top-class and exciting?

Let's just say I enjoyed it, my mates enjoyed and every saints fan did.

Just because the Catalan player waves his arm in the air everyone thinks he played for the ball when in truth he never got anywhere near it.

I think it was 100% try. How the video ref can't give a try when he can watch it over and over in slow motion is unreal.

I was watching it in my adopted town with a few dozen dire fans and they all agreed that when the catalan player went up for the ball he gave a nudge in the side of the saints player altering his upwards projection.
They reluctantly agreed it cannot be a try (ALL OF THEM) and they were right.

Believe me none of them were wanting us to win so no red and white specs were worn.
I don't know how you can make the statement above when most of warrington saw it as a no try?

Re: Ref's win again : Fri Jul 20, 2012 11:08 pm  

If it was a game with no Video ref, then I agree 9 times out of 10 it will be a try. But the video ref changes so many tries and no tries as you can see things that in real time look like a fluff by makinson. But once you see it back on the video, the reason he misses is down to being moved off the ball. Like I said fair enough if he was anywhere near the ball, but he's basically just running in.

Meli running through in attack and the ref gives a penalty to catalan.

He evened that up with the Blanch penalty. Yes he moved off the mark, everyone does, but Hohaia was all over him.
