so many flamers coming on and raging ffs the decisions levelled themselves out and a draw was a fair reflection of the game

Look at it again, ball came off washbrook and went forward to houghton who was off side anyway. Regardless of washbrooks challenge, it was a penalty in any event.

Apart from being directly under it? You're saying a playing can jump up like that flail about aimlessly miss it and because someone touches him its a penalty? Washbrook only made contact after the ball was through the Saints players hands.

Its a joke.

Exactly. He impacts Ashe in the air in the legs and it's his hands striking at the ball that knock it forward. Either way it's 24 all.

Hull scored a few tries off forward passes so it's swings and roundabouts with the ref.

It was a fantastic game and a superb comeback from the lads. We were awful in the 1st half making some shocking errors, but 2nd half we controlled the ball and played with much more aggression in defence. Even though we're depleted we're showing wonderful fighting spirit and I'm proud to be a Saints fan.

You are talking out of your crack again. Washbrook had every right to go for that ball, so he did so. His eyes were on the ball and his hands were up in the air awaiting the ball.

Like I said though, Saints deserved a point from that game.

It's a contact sport Washbrook clearly attempted to go for the ball there was always going to be a collision, shocking call by Ganson.

Yes. Washbrook doesn't jump. He stays on the ground, impacts on Ashe's legs, pivoting him dangerously. Forget the rest for me, but if you want to run it on like the Chief says it's Washbrook that pushes it forward, knocking it out of Ashe's grasp.

Washbrook should have jumped. Had he done that he wouldn't have gone underneath Ashe and caused him to pivot. That pivoting as he's goes under him is all Ganson looks at. It is unquestionably dangerous whether he's wholeheartedly going for the ball or not.

Get over it. One 50/50 call, why are you not mentioning the forward pass calls and various others? 24 all, good game, simple as that.

Eddie is livid really I think - he says he feels sorry for Hull and we shouldn't have had the penalty blah blah blah!
He get's on my nerves at times. What about all the things we were done out of in the match. He doesn't like us much does he?

Not true, as danny houghton comes from a position behind washbrook as the ball becomes available.
