Maybe because a 40/20 kick only has reference to a single player ie the kicker so there has to be a point of reference and the only one available is the field markings

The OFFSIDE interpretation obviously involves two players so therefore the reference is the relative positions between the receiver and the ball.

HTH

Not the "official" language ie the current rule book...not one that Saints fans have invented to suit their arguement.

Has I keep pointing out on The Entertainers forum the winning margin was 8 points...

That sounds about right!

I agree though that had that final try not been allowed things may well have been different. Our heads would not have gone down. We still had a fighting chance and because our heads would not have gone down we may well have found what it takes to score again.

Better still, of course, would have been had Meli not had his first brainfart. That is what really began the rot.

I do hope Meli totally screws up his visa next time around. I don't want to see him in a red vee again.

Obviously....

here here just before half time went into the sheds with their heads up, we went in on a downer, and then the start we had, said it all
