Spot on..that exactly why Warrington are going to Old Trafford and your not.

video not 100% conclusive on the Saints no try...can't be given because the ref didn't award it....they are the rules.

Lineham gets it down..just.

Gidley scores end of.

Very happy that the best team over the season has got a chance to become champions.

Saints being crowned champs after the season they have had..that really would be a joke...thankfully its not happening

You can ground a try with the torso. - The ball was dropped forward on to the ground before torso (was it even torso?) rolled over the ball.

Very harsh for Peyroux's try, but by the letter of the law there was no conclusive shot of the ball being grounded. - The ball clearly grounds and hits the white line, we have a different opinion of what conclusive means + two wrongs don't mean a right - Ref was wrong to give no try on field.

And there were two offenses in the lead up to Ratchford's try - A knock on by Wire in the tackle and a few tackles later, the player (I forget who) did not tap the ball. These are all simple mistakes by the officials.

I honestly don't think Wire were better. I thought it was two average sides having an arm wrestle and the tries were what separated them. Two offenses in the lead up to the first try and a knock on on the second. Wire did nothing after that and trailed before it.

Let's get it right - one potless average side and the 2016 LLS Winners, Challenge Cup and Grand Finalists.

Hope Wigan or Hull smash that lot in the final. The fans are an absolute disgrace.

you seem like a sensible, level headed type of fella...I agree with some of what you say...you win some you lose some. Move on and hope you team isn't relying on the likes of Jon Headshot Wilkin next year.

I hope you'll be cheering for us in the final v Pies

As a netral I was amazed none of the Sky team questioned the GIdley try as grounded the ball short and then was held up over the line. yEt this was my commented on by anybody not even the so called expert Cummins. Then after consulting the video for 40/20's and other non-try scoring decisions, he takes the advice of the touch judge and ignores a knock on for one of the WIre tries. sUrely the time has come for all awarded tries to be automatically checked upstairs?

That's exactly why tonight was tough to accept. We're so bloody awful, I can't believe we push you so hard, what a week era of Super League this is.
