Quote: Saddened! "1 - There are suggestions that Saints had two separate sets with 7 tackles, one being the last set that Meli scored the winner from and that Cas had two with 5 tackles, including the one where Mathers waltzed into the tackle on the 40. These suggestions come from both Cas fans and also BBC radio. It's always a big controversy when it happens once in a game, so for four miscounts in the same game the ref needs to be hung, drawn and quartered surely?
2 - Tom Armstrong's second try. They didn't show this on Sky Sports News that I could see tonight but it appeared from 75 metres away that Sia dropped the ball then just picked it up and tossed it to Armstrong expecting a knock on to be given. Armstrong then scores. The referee clearly saw it happen as he held time up to discuss the weather with both the touch judge and in goal judge. What happened here?'"
1 - no one seemed to notice anything amiss with the tackle count, but we did notice a cas player going nowhere at one stage in the first half where they didn't seem to realise it was the last count.
2 - no problem with the try. Sia had the ball facing away from the cas line towards his team with a sort of "who wants it" look and holding the ball up as if to off load. It was then knocked out of his hands by a cas player, then there was a frozen moment before we reacted to it first and the ball was whipped out another metre to Armstrong to score (who despite another thread suggesting otherwise) had a great game considering how he was thrust into an unfamiliar position at the last minute.
Anyone know how Makinson is?
