Shame the ref bottled the red in the first 5 minutes were we're going to go down wrong decisions by the ref. Oh and the completely wrong offside from dixons drop that led to a try, and the penalty goal that won the match being 20m further down field than it should of been.

But yeah, only two forward passes were wrong in that game.

You must be a terrible loser. Firstly the offside from the Dixon drop was a 50/50 decision and secondly it didn't lead to a try. Yes Green could of been sent off there's been many cases of that but there's just as many that don't so again 50/50. Tho I'll readily admit if that goes against us we do probably lose. The penalty was 5m further forward not 15 and with the Lunt NO try I certainly thought hoahia knocked on so we should of got the ball back. We could argue all day about decisions but let's reflect on a decent game that somehow had a grandstand finish and was again a great advertisement for rugby league. Good luck next week

Compare the Green incident to Walmsley's or Moons last year. That's not 50/50.

The Lunt no try Hohaia was no where near, I assume you mean Swift, the fact multiple replays couldn't find an angle to show he touched it but because you believe so it must be wrong?

Makinson caught the ball in virtually the same position as the penalty goal that was missed earlier in the half.

We could argue all day but look at the very title of the thread (and the equivalent on the hkr board)! If your gonna call things, I'm gonna call them right back!

I think that Rover fans need to be a bit more strategic with their "foooorrrrwwwarrrd" calls. Shouting it every other pass for most of the game didn't do them any favours at the end.

A bit like the boy who cried wolf.

Having said that a lot of Saints fans are no better.

WE call a forward when we see a forward. Maybe it's the refs that need to be a little more strategic with the way they officiate the games.

Eddie and Stevo thought it shouldn't been Rovers scrum regarding the Lunt no try.

Thought It should have been Rovers scrum sorry.

Anyway lets move on, you'll still be there or there abouts come the play offs so needn't worry too much.

Going down decisions Eddie and Stevo think is a long and dangerous one!

I do agree, now is not the time for long discussions on the matter (that's what off seasons are for!) but there's surely an argument to remove touch judges and allowing constant communication with a video ref ... Of course that requires the rfl actually having vr's as all games

Re: forrrrrrwwwaaarrdd : Sat Mar 28, 2015 5:51 pm  

I think it's pretty clear Green made contact to Burns head with his shoulder which is 100% a sending off and 3/4 match ban. The ref got it wrong and that's it, we can't keep harping on about it. We've had players who have been lucky not to be sent off in the past. I remember sia against Warrington doing a terrible high shot and he stayed on. Sometimes you don't get the call and I think we had our fair share of calls over the years.

Even with 13 v 13 we should have won that game. We was poor, we lost! We need to stop looking for excuses and move on.

Re: forrrrrrwwwaaarrdd : Sat Mar 28, 2015 7:29 pm  

It was a clear and undoubtedly premeditated attack to the head because of some of the bitterness over Burns. The guy should take a hefty ban.

However, it had no impact on the game. The lads know they allowed a team playing lower league rugby an embarrassing victory.

It's the Saints way, unfortunately. Forget about it and move on.

We have played lower league rugby the last nine times you have come to the KC lightstream stadium and won 'em all.

Unfortunately for your lot though is that at the business end of the season, we'll be at the right end of the table and they'll be at the wrong end of the table. One win against Saints will make no difference to your finishing position.
