Perhaps I was watching a different tackle but the shot by Eastmond seemed really bad, like he was really trying to knock someones head off. I stand to be corrected if I see the incident again on video but at the time I thought it was a 100% red card.

Oh, hi by the way.

Apologies if this has already been covered, I haven't read all the threads. But I absolutely disagreed with the decision to disallow that try. The so-called "knock on" looked backwards from where I was.

The thing that has thrown me the most was that any contact from a Bradford was in the field of play. Yet a 20 metre tap was awarded which seems to suggest the IGJ has ruled that it was infact Deacon knocked on grounding the ball.

I was disappointed too. Anderson made us a clean team, with just the usual suspects occasionally costing us (Wilkin, Fas and Cunningham with his open arm hug like tackle). My guess is Potter won't say anything about it because he isn't exactly known for being disciplined. However, I hope someone makes him say it because it isn't a good way to play at all.

Well as long they get away with it, they aint going to change are they?

That's not the point. I think it was last season, a few of our players went through an embarrassing phase (for me anyway) of crowding the ref. No punishments were handed out. But it suddenly stopped. Why? Because Anderson said so (no doubt in conjunction with the Saints management). Saints don't need refs to do anything about it although of course I for one wouldn't object if they did; they need the bosses at the club to do something about it before it gets to that, which I hope they will (although in Potter I have no faith in this area).
