Did you not see Makinson take a Salford player out in the act of scoring.
Doesnt mean you would have lost but it should have been a 8 point try puts a different complexion on the game dont you think.

But the ref gave the penalty but not the try now that is down to opinions in all fairness I think St Helens got the rub of the green re that.
All history now .

Wouldn't have been a 8 point try though would it? They are given if a player is fouled in the act of scoring

Surely he was fouled before he could score is that not a 8 point try if it was a cert he would have scored.
Makinson got 10 mins for the foul.
Anyway it could have been 6pts at least.

Obviously ref didnt think Salford player would have got to the ball.
Like I say history now.

You’re getting confused between a penalty try and an “8 point try.”

It would never have been an 8 point try lol. you have to actually score it to get one of those. it might have been a penalty try but there clearly wasnt enough evidence to award it

you keep posting as though we got away with it or something. we didn't. they got a penalty and we got a man in the bin. it was salford that couldn't do anything with the chance that presented them

I dont think there was a lot of time left to do anything with the chance that presented them.
I did agree previously re the penalty try scenario my mistake.
And yes I do think you got away with it,as others did at the time.

Looks like false allegations of being punched can be added to the Saints charge sheet.

I wouldn’t have expected that from honest Johnny Lomax, the man Wilkin says never stays down unless he’s really hurt (bar the 237 times a season he stays down when not hurt).

Expected better from you.

I doubt there’s a tougher player in the game than Lomax with what he’s been through injury wise and as a kid.

Continually takes the line on and gets hit late yet an opposition player is never cited nor banned. He’s one tough bugger.

There was a lot of verbals and niggles in that game on Friday with Walters being the prime offender. Seems like he spat his dummy out after the Saints players goaded him after he threw the ball in touch from his flick pass.

Looks like Lomax got caught up in it. If he’s kept quiet whilst a player has been wrongly sent off then so what.

It’s called gaining a competitive advantage.

Matautia wasn’t banned either. I’m surprised he was even charged bearing in mind the initial contact was above the knee.

Good to see Saints making all the headlines again. Keep them coming.
