The top sides in SL are naturally hated by fans of other sides and people have enjoyed Saints not being at the top for the last 10 years (2014 aside). Now we are back playing well again people don’t like it. If you can’t see that then it’s because you’re choosing not to.'"
I don't get how you want opposition fans to react though, especially when you come on here boasting every time Saints win convincingly. I think if you want every single fan to admit that Saints have been the best side this year, not just the most entertaining, perhaps come back in October?

| Quote: AS108 "Abdull wasn’t sin binned and the decision to sin bin Houghton was correct. I agree though that’s the faking injury from potential high tackles and crusher tackles needs to stop and Richardson was out of order. However, Kelly and Miloudi both also faked injury and were in the wrong.
The moaning at the two other sin binnings are laughable. LMS may have been over aggressive but that isn’t an offence when wrestling to play the ball. Washbrook was completely stupid in kneeing LMS no matter how soft it was and Amor was binned against Cas for similar. The Matongo one was also correct, he couldn’t have been any later. Their performance was great but they let themselves down with their lack of discipline.
I’m also loving the Hull fans saying they’d beat us in the playoff semi finals. I think some of you are choosing to forget we comfortably beat you 26-12 with no Barba and on paper your squad was stronger that day. The reality is today we had an off day and blew 3 or 4 easy try’s that we’ve been finishing off all season. To call us ordinary and overhyped when we’ve easily been the best team in the league this season is hilarious. And please keep the bitterness and hate coming, it’s great. A good game between two good sides with a great refereeing performance.'"
Kelly was wiped out by LMS, but dont let your bias get in the way of reality.
As for Houghton, I fail to see how he is at fault when Connor and Minichello come in to complete the tackle, just where is Houghton expected to go. The St's player got himself into a poor position.
I am also loving the "we had an off day". Could it just be possible that it was down to the opposition putting pressure on St's player which they are not used to?
If you think it was a great refereeing performance then you are One Eyed Willy from The Goonies.

I don't mind saints, they play good rugby, don't use grubby tactics and are easy on the eye. It's people like you that probably encourage neutrals to favour the other side as you are a proper c0ck end.

LMS hit Kelly late, yes. Matongo hit Lomax late and high. That's the difference.
Houghton was correctly sinbinned. I don't see how anyone can argue that. Crusher tackles have been rightfully sinbinned all season, that's an area were officials have been consistent.

47035_1386433761.gif We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47035.gif |

Personally I thought Hull were lucky to get a yellow for the crusher tackle at the start of the season they were giving reds for those.
The knee to the head was stupid, but like the Toronto punch a few weeks back. When it's handbags the ref usually just puts everything on report. But if you do something so blatant for the TV cameras even if it's a nothing shot and petulant gives the ref no out but to bin the player.
It probably did not help that a potential spear tackle had been mixed in minutes before. Just builds a pattern of events the ref can't ignore.
Was a stupid rush of blood that was not required as Hull were on top at that stage. Could have easily gone on to win.

Masi tackle wasn't high, otherwise he would have seen red, yellow was the right decision, unfortunately sane with the other two, discipline letting us down as it has last two years, needs to improve or we won't even finish in the top 4

| If Hull had been just a bit more sensible they’d have won today. Bar the game’s opening they were the best team when it was XIII v XIII

| Didn't Washbrook get a yellow last round in the cup for a Knee To Face? Even without the reds and yellows of the battle at Fev and the hattrick yesterday Hull seem to be getting a lot of cards? Eased a little by Watts departure? Would like to see the stats of both teams discipline wise this last year? Hull fans making out they are choir boys is laughable.A side based on aggression and bully tactics ( which isn't a criticsm.Wish we had as much vim) Its all about doing the dirty stuff and just getting away with it. Thought Catalan showed how to do it at Hudds.Sucked them into giving penalties away and generally played right on the edge of the refs tolerances.Lots of nasty cheap niggle which got under Giants skins and ultimately won them the game imo. Hull have been very good last few year in that side of things but seem to be pinged a lot more now? Is it the publicity Connor has drawn? Thaler in particular seems to have a short fuse with him? All musings and may be wide of mark but yes all in all a good game to watch

Which players have been given reds this season for a crusher tackle?

| Something needs to be done about players reversing into tackles. How are you supposed to tackle someone who runs into you backwards then sits down? Danny Houghton makes more tackles than anyone else in SL and there's nothing wrong with his technique. He was unlucky yesterday that connor came into the tackle and pushed him forward but if richardson hadn't reversed in it wouldn't have happened

Don’t be so stupid they have Wilkins in the team for starters - just for once get a grip.

It was probably Connor and Minicchello caused the Houghton incident. So the next question is how can Richardson put himself in a better position with 3 big forwards on top of him with quarter of a ton of weight on him.

He's no where as good as Connor though for grubbiness, Wilkin is better looking were Connor does look like a grub especially when he opens his mouth.
