its a giggle isnt it. You could understand it if there were a few points in it and a couple of key decisions went against you but when you get knobbed and blame the ref it really is a poor show.

cretinous absolutely cretinous the game was level with 10 minutes to half time....yet you try and insist that the game was never destined to be a close game ..........

Even Bobby Goulding had the sense to say that Catalans had got themselves an Arm wrestle with Saints after going down to two early tries

The correct decision was a scrum to saints. Watch it again if you dont believe me.

Are you serious? It didn't touch anyone, and when Pelo tried to palm it back in play the ball was long gone over the sideline anyhow, and therefore his attempt was pointless (and stupid to attempt in the first place) however, it shouldn't have affected any decision but a Catalans scrum.

Fair enough (kind of) if the officials missed it there and then, but if your saying it's still a Saints scrum now... you are seriously blinkered.

He's correct, The catalans player tocuhed the ball before it hit the ground over the touch line and then it landed on the touchline. The correct decision was a scrum to St Helens

If pelo just lets the ball go into touch then it is a scrum to the catalans, I really don't understand why he decided to touch it

I don't need to, it was perfectly clear first time round even Ray spotted it, which is as conclusive as it gets.

You got a video of the incident again mate? I was sure as Pelo attempted to palm it back (stupidly) he was already over the sideline??

Both Gidley and the Catalans player (who's name escapes) took air swings at it, neither connected.

Are you saying it landed on the touchline? If so, it would have been a penalty.

Correct and then Pelo touched it before it bounced over the touchline

Yes the ball was over the line but Pelo jumped from within the field of play and touched the ball before it bounced then it bounced on the touchline, as much as I hate thaler he made the correct call
