Thats the reason people are walking away from our game, don't get me wrong Warrington deserve to be in the Final after their season but not after that game. Saints was well and truly robbed.

Re Walsh offside. If the players are in front of the kicker then they have to remain 10m away from the player catching it or the bounce of the ball. There were a good few saints players within that 10m.

You can ground a try with the torso.

Very harsh for Peyroux's try, but by the letter of the law there was no conclusive shot of the ball being grounded.

Saints not penalised once for have players in front of the ref in the defensive line, time and time again.

Wrong, the law doesn't say anything about the bounce of the ball, only about a player catching it.



I remember at least one occasion they were penalised for offside.

on linehams try, you can ground a loose ball with a torso, a ball dropped must be regathered before its touched down.

Saying that though, i havent seen enough from the replays we saw to say he definitely lost the ball before it was grounded.

There was one penalty for them having 3 markers/offside. None given for offside line defence.

I stand corrected if it has to be the player catching it.

No, only if a Warrington player was going to catch which clearly none of them were. Thaler just blew without thinking and forgot Walsh was the guy who kicked it.

I didn't see him fully lose the ball.

What about Wilkin constantly joining a completed 2 player tackle as the players are about to move away. He was the top tacker tonight on 59 I think it was- amazing stuff!

Ratchford has incredibly long arms and was about to tackle it

I've argued before that this is an area of the rules that needs clearing up because had a Warrington player knocked it on, there wouldnt have been an argument that it was offside. Its a silly part of the law that sees a player attempt and fail rewarded, But by not risking that knock-on they are (or should have been) punished.

The problem is with this is that in theory you could send 4 players 50 yards forward in different places, kick the ball into a space where an opposing player won't get near it and near one of your 4 players to retrieve the ball and score a try?
