Apologies for the state of officiating in our game.

Quote: nohalfbacks "I really don't understand your comment about rubbing noses in anything. I think you will find that my posts on this thread were an attempt to contribute a serious opinion in the debate about a controversial decision. The thread has drifted off track somewhat.

Oh and I can assure that we spend alot more time on the Saints and Warrington boards given the local rivalry. However we didn't play them in a major final last Saturday or indeed Leeds in the last three seasons.

Leeds played well in the final and I have already acknowledged that in one of my posts. They could have won the game had they taken their chances. However I only entered this debate because I really didn't feel blaming the referring decisions was a fair assessment. As a life long supporter of rugby league I enjoy and appreciate good rugby from all teams (yes even Saints and Wire) including Leeds over their successful seasons, however I would much prefer to have discussions about good play.'"

well ok fair enough and obviously I wasnt there and you now appear to be coming round and not mentioning how many trophies this that and the other,as long as you dont do that you will always get a good discussion.I suggest you take a look at the "Wigans million fans thread"Damo and you will see how I defended Wigan as a rugby town and not a soccer town.. by the way surely you should be in kip now.Its 13 minutes past 7 here i'm now going to watch baseball.goodnight god bless
