this thing with brothbrain ian smith all stems back from a couple of years ago when saints lodged a complaint against him.
soon as i saw (yet again) he was the vcr ref i knew we'd get nothing from him.
if it had been the other way about he'd have give the knock on and obstruction decisions for wire......i'd defintley put a complaint in again about him..last few games he's made it obvious saints dont get the call.

Pretty much everyone but smith thought so.

Let him have his moment in the sun, or rain as the case may be. Next one gets the big red button.

I don't think it was.
If you look again the push (shoulder) actually takes Meli towards the Wire player.

The first Wire try was really poor play from a Saints pov, and I'll bet Simmons is fuming. 1st set of the game and Roby goes head down @rse up on the fourth tackle.

That left a poor pass from acting half (where Roby should have been) I'm not sure who made the pass and put Gaskell in trouble.
Great game for the neutral to watch and was decided on who gave the penalties away.

Point taken, ... is it actually a red button?

Wells at the end said no way was that an obstrution, how could it be Meli could have still took him down, look at it again Bridge actually helps Meli by projecting him to the offensive player quicker.

Yes, pushes him PAST as well as off balance. Clear obstruction, except to Ian Smith
