and soliolas' too no doubt, or did you miss all them too like sliverwood?

Started by a Saints fan who is born and bred in Warrington. Second post is by a Pie eating Chav who hasn't got the sense he was born with.

No I saw that one too. Silverwood even managed to see ones that weren't there.

One (or two if you really think Eastmond's was) against three against Morley, plus two or three others.

Oh and in the real world two wrongs don't make a right.

Can you tell me why the penalty against Foster was given? The tackle wasn't complete, they were both still sliding on the grass. Can you tell me why Monaghan on Foster in an identical incident was given the other way?

Can you tell why if that obstruction try was okay, the one at Bradford wasn't?

Second post was by a Wakey fan.

HTH

Interesting.

I guess things were evened out considering Silverwood hates Warrington.

I agree with what you say, Silverwood was a joke tonight.

Silverwood was poor tonight and highlighted the scandalous inconsistency in referees. Last week in the Bulls vs Hull FC game Bentham binned a Bulls player after 4 indiscretions at the ruck.

Saints were penalised for at least twice as many indiscretions tonight but no card was produced. Being down to 12 killed the Bulls hopes of a win. Shocking stuff Mr Cummings.

I also resent being branded a chav, couldn't be any further from the truth.

you can ALWAYS find a bad ref when your getting beat and your team isn't the best....its a good excuse...I know..I've used it myself often enough. Weird!

Ho-hum...who's next?

It's not just a rant against an official to attempt to rationalise a defeat. I posted the first bit after 6 minutes and the Foster penalty. Do you not think there was an inconsistency in those calls I mentioned? (Foster and the obstruction try).

Several fans from other clubs (not just Wigan) were saying the ref and VR were shocking tonight.

Wasn't obstruction against Soliola. Bridge was running straight, Soliola was sliding across. Soliola got to the scorer and could and should have made the tackle. he didn't claim he was obstructed and there was very minor contact.

The difference with Bradford last week was that a Saints player got between the scorer and Bulls defender.

Very strange game last night, with both sides dominating for long spells and both could have been further clear with a bit more clinical play.

I (as a neutral) think Saints got some rough calls. Forward passes are being missed in all games but that is not my gripe the penalising of Foster for what was a great tackle was a disgrace, the number of ball strips that go unpunished is a joke(why do we pay toch judges) & not one penalty for incorect play the ball or walking off the mark yet penaltys for not square? take a look at the NRL this year & see how the ruck should be policed. It was also rough justice on Fosters kick that hit the crossbar. I think a penalty for that is harsh to end up defending you line is extremly harsh I know its the rule but maybe a handover on halfway would be an equitable result?

Whilst I agree that the match officials often make mistakes, they aren't doing them deliberately. As Phil Clarke once said 'The ref makes mistakes but so do the players'

Anybody who can do better than the current match official squad (James Child not included!) is invited to attend a course and pick up the whistle

Great game with some terrible decisions. Sounds like RL to me.
