Fages Try : Sat Jun 05, 2021 2:28 pm  

Anyone watching the semi?
Bit of controversy but to me Fages did exactly the right thing.

Feel for Griffin but he needed to hold the ball.

Just had to ground the ball and the play ended ,think the pain of the injury clouded his thinking as he was going to the floor anyway ,and fages played to the whistle as unsportsmanlike as it looked .

I think when Griffin started hobbling he expected the ref to pause play. Fages was right to play on because the ref didn’t blow the whistle.

Hope Griffin has a speedy recovery.

When things like that go for you you know it's your day

You really feel for Griffin but, he had to keep hold of the ball.

What a cracking game of RL though. The interception sealed the game but, it was boiling up very nicely.
Great game

Fages played to the whistle, he did the right thing. Looked a bad injury but i’ve seen many bad injuries over the years and never seen a player just throw the ball away like that. Certainly a strange one.

Gonna disagree with most on here i think its disgusting that fages scored its easy to say griffen should of kept hold of the ball but it looked like his achills went and trust mewhen that pain hits it hits and tbe automatic reaction is to grab it..shocking sportsmanship from saints and farges......

All part of the current Saints philosophy of win at all costs and by any means possible. Think it started with Justin Holbrook. Trying to think back to when did Saints go from being everybody's 2nd team to nobody's? Remember when the whole of RL voted on BBC SPOTY to get them team of the year. Wouldn't happen now.

Funny because it will have been about the same time their fans became the biggest bell ends in the sport. They used to be great but their arrogance is worse than Wigan or Leeds ever was.
