Thought it was only us cherry & whites that did the whingeing not so funny when the boots on the other foot so to speak video ref lost you the game yeah right it happens get over it

Am I blind or are there just idiots posting on this thread? It was offside end of! Forget whether he looks in front or behind, forget the nonsensical rule that doesn't exist that he was behind the ball as well. You only have to look who was nearest to the ten meter line and see it was McGuire and therefor Smith offside. Ruined a good game for which Saints could still have won!

You can't kill off a champion quality side so early in today's competition but I agree that our mistakes gifted them the game. Pretty much all Leeds points came off the back of Saints mistakes. Penalty for the first, Wello being slow across for the 40/20 (you could say this was great play by Sinfield but Wello looked slow for me), muffed kick, muffed kick off, penalty and knock on. We didn't deserve that.

I find that laughable.

It was a very exciting final - very. To say it was ruined by a call that could have gone either way is nonsense to say the least.

Its pointless to say "which Saints could still have won!" well yes but by teh same token you could easily say "Leeds could have scored twice more". the fact of the matter is you simply can't know what would have happened.

The call was 50/50 - I've seen them given, I've seen them disallowed. The angle they really needed was the angle that was clearly obscured by the camera gantry. IMO Bentham had no choice other than to award the try

Well you got the 50/50 call on Eastmoors try it looked like a clear knock on to me having touched his hand it then makes contact with Donald BEFORE he regathers and scores.

Cancel out that try and Smiths try and we are still clear winners 2 tries to none

BLINKERED!! Go on enlighten me how did we steal the Murrayfield Cup Final from you?! You were never in the game





As for supporting yarkshire...........like you would have supported Wigan against leeds had we not been robbed last week

He'd ave scored even if he was on-side. If you look at the replay theres about six Saints players stood still watching him go over the line.

Thats because they all stopped because he was off-side.

I take it you're being sarcastic because there's no way they knew he was offside, even if he was.

Very surprised that was given to be fair. The SKY team made their minds up very quickly, but that was equally contentious (in fact more so) than the Smith try for me.

Sorry If this was brought up in the previous pages but I cant be bothered reading about It....BUT all this could have been avoided. If you back go to were leeds started the build up to this try you see the leeds player kick the ball forward at the play the ball.


by the way stella was lovely in the premier inn yesterday afternoon.............no stella the drink.
