| What was the video referee up to on the Foster second half try?
He appeared as if he was moments away from ruling out a legitimate score for something he isn't even permitted to rule on. Besides which Wilkin was onside anyway given that the requirement is 10 metres upfield from the play the ball, which he was.
Even by Ganson's standards that would have been just too awful.
Great game by the way.

I was screaming the place down as that was going on. I'd love to know what Tierry Halibert asked him to look at.

It was surreal, he was asked to check offside at the PTB, he did and looked set for a decision, then the commentary team said he couldnt do that and he went to check other things he wasnt asked to check, it was as if he was listening to the sky commentary for advice ![DOH icon_biggrin.gifOH:](images/smilies//eusa_doh.gif)

I have to admit a large part of me was begging for 'NO TRY' to come up! ![Laughing icon_lol.gif](images/smilies//icon_lol.gif) I think the uproar on the saints board would be fantastic.

Should have gone for that, RL prides itself on 'respect' and rightly so. Had the ref been English (ie had a chance of understanding scouse) I'm certain action would have been taken - especially given his warning for dissent in the 1st half. Don't know why Graham insists on being such a tw@ as it more than overshadows his otherwise outstanding contribution to the game.

It's just raw passion to always be the best, which to be fair, he pretty much is. Yes he goes over the top but every great sportsman has had some flaw to his personality.

Alright then, put yourself in his position, defending his goal line against Warrington and the most clueless ref in the history of rugby league is in the way. What should he do when the addrenaline is rushing?

| The game wasnt even in play! No matter how Useless/French the ref is there is no place for such verbal abuse. Maybe without your Saints specs on you'd see that

In spite of what that Saints fan says, if you look on our board you'll find there are a lot of Saints fans who agree with you. He should have been binned for it and he was very lucky that he wasn't.

Correct, but rules are rules and they should be respected, so when he does go 'over the top' he should be punished. The biggest discipline of all in RL is to stay within the rules, given the ferocious nature of the game. It is a massive flaw in Grahams game that he cannot contain his emotions in big games

| Can anyone explain why they have made these restrictions on what the video ref can judge on?
By limiting what can or cannot be judged on seems to go against justice. It does make it rather make a farce when the replay often shows blatant forward passes which cannot be taken into consideration and last night a Saints player 3 metres offside and who should have been penalised as the player played the ball. Come on Cummings get it changed!
