Quote: Saddened! "It was as clear an obstruction as you can get and stopped Lomax impacting on Waterhouse as he intended. It wouldn't have changed the outcome though, but it doesn't stop it being the wrong decision.'"
The video referee was just following instructions from on high to stop another Saints/Leeds final at all costs - you can't really blame him for doing what he's ordered to do to earn a crust. Frankly I was amazed he allowed Makinson's try as it looked like he dropped it all day long to me - I suspect words were had with him at half time to cut it out for the second half. Ultimately the officials didn't need to have been briefed anyway as we were just outclassed the second half and were soundly beaten once Wire started motoring. C'est la vie.
