If saints hadn't of won that it would have been s complete miscarriage of justice

A) I'm not sure about A being a red, I couldn't see contact with the head.

B) Saint player makes contact with the fullback without making any attempt at the ball. Yes Farrel was in his back. However at the other end Goulding was looking for the ball, didn't jump and then got a penalty against him (Mossop went over the line but not given), could have gone either way.

C) Agreed, if that was given against Wigan it essentially stops the full back from trying to stop the try. It's an attack to the ball but not ever a knock on against Wigan.

I'm embarrassed for you.

Whilst I don't think there is any kind of conspiracy to help Wigan, the shoulder charge was pretty much a carbon copy of the one bailey got sent off and a two match ban for. I also think Child was weak and bottled a few decisions on Wigan foul play, it was an absolute nonsense for him to give three successive penalties for foul play, and pretty obvious ones at that, then sin bin a half back for offside.

But forwards are forwards, if you let them get away with it they will keep pushing the boundaries. Can't blame the Wigan props for throwing their weight around a bit if Child didn't have the balls to make a decision

I actually thought Wellens (as usuall) was the worst for moaning at ref. Simetimes I think he belongs on a football field the amount of time he whinges at referee with his arms In the air.

Did think Taylor was lucky to avoid a red. Did anyone notice Mcllorum's "cannonball" tackle in the first half?

I'll give you C, fair play. But your comments on b are just demented.

Dudson became a liability giving away two stupid penalties and getting us on a warning, but I didn't see anyone offside, it just seemed like Childs wanted to get someone off the field!

Then of course there was the blatant ball steal that Saints got away with. And how about Wellens flopping and Saints receive a penalty! Saints were diabolical around the ruck but were rarely penalised.

All in all Childs had an awful game, but to pretend it all went in Wigan's favour is deluded.

Btw, the penalty against Dudson for hitting LMS' arm away when he was grabbing hold of him...

I've seen this happen literally hundreds of times and never seen a penalty for it, why the sudden change?

Yes the ball steal, the one blatant decision which went saints way. But how could wellens have been a flop when he wasn't even tackled? I mean seriously? Wellens was the first player to lay a hand on him, and just because he went in aggressivley (but fairly) flower lost the plot.

Do you know what a flop is?

Walmsley made the tackle, ball hit the deck, Walmsley's hand never left him. Now unless I have grossly misinterpreted the rules, the tackle was complete.

You're right, but I'd prefer they all got penalised for it rather than that Dudson didn't. Free yourself, by all means, but when you start the Hong Kong Phooey crap you're penalised.
