earlier in the game they said meli touched the ball which led to a catalan try.
what a load of cobblers no way did that ball catch melis hand.
and just what was the penalty count at the end of the game then?.

I didn't think it touched him until about the 8th replay but I think it glances the back of his hand. VERY harsh call though.

Eh? The ball touched his hand, from the instant it happend it was obvious not harsh at all. Harsh is the disallowed try at the end, if the try wasn't scored it would have been a drop out most likely, or would people expect a penalty for this?

Didn't like the decision when he said a saints player grounded the ball in goal and he gave a drop out. He fell when catching the ball jumping from the field of play and a Catalan player touched him slightly before he hit the fall and overshot him to me you have to be intentionally grounding the ball, He should have been allowed to carry on and run the ball out. But must admit quite a few big decisions where wrong and he should be in the dock for this as two weeks running now.

I enjoyed it and the last 15 mins was exciting and edge of your seat stuff.

How did Warrington do in France in the super league?

I sense you fear us now, you know we are coming for you and as history proves, you'll choke in the play offs again.

I believe that bad refereeing is adversely affecting our game. Once more Popeye the Thaler-man demonstrates another gem of miss judgment, a red card for what at the very worst was a yellow was just one more of a long list of howling mistakes, errors and bad calls this term. There is way too much grand-standing by match officials who seem hell bent on causing controversy, and as for the Dewsbury Dewdrop to say he thinks that Thaler is one of the best referees this season, well, I Know that’s no recommendation, but what a numpty! This match was another Thaler, plus video ref farce! And only stubborn under-stains and ostriches would argue.

I will type this slowly, with a little emphasis, as you are obviously hard of thinking. "YOU think that was a top-class game?"

To address other aspects of your ramblings:

Warrington did rather poorly in against Catalans in their away SL fixture. They did, however, return a matter of weeks later and rectify their previous poor showing.

Do you really want to converse about choking in play-offs?

I will quite happily take our year being Challenge Cup wins and finishing top of the pile. Are you happy with 'your year' consistently being de-constructed in a final? A fait accompli, if you will.
