Mate, it wasn't the ref that lost you that game. To go on about it takes away on what should of been a great spectacle.

Yes I agree the sky team were cringeworthy, but then, when aren't they?

Leeds never really had saints on the ropes. Leeds had nothing in attack apart from a few drop outs and saints dealt with it comfortably.

OP I thought you were leaving the forum.

glad saints won in the end even as a Wigan supporter as Leeds looked ordinary in attack and played pretty negatively.

Leeds played a conservative percentage game. They looked at the lineup and particularly Saints pack and bench. They concluded Saints would fade and all they had to do was complete their sets and grind it out against the Saints kids. 9 times out of 10 it would have worked but Saints were outstanding in defense.

At the hour mark Leeds should have started throwing it about a bit, Saints were blowing but Leeds didn't stick the knife in.

You left in ignominy. What HAPPENED?

And why are you watching SOOOOPER DOOOPER LEAGUE anyway?

Saints B team takes on the Leeds A team and win


But of course it was the ref that turned the game, so how many penalties and decisions went Leeds way???????

Saints played with 13 past and present academy players last night, Leeds still had 10 international players on show, idid Leeds underestimate a greatly depleted pack.

That's quite a bit of spin. Leeds also played with 12. I am sure one day a fair few of those Saints lads will be internationals.

I wasn't looking for excuses, I was only pointing out a fact. The sky commentators did not paint the correct picture last night.

I think that naturally the leeds side probably did expect to totally dominate a depleted pack.walmesley and amor have been far and away the dominant pair of front rowers in the league and with them missing it looked a mismatch.full credit to the lads that filled in though,saverlio(?) looked a handful and a top prospect and I thought Flanagan got through a ton of work for you.

that said,our halves were a fair bit clueless in your 20 and very predictable.not to take anything away from saints defence which was excellent.I think you have confirmed yourselves as favorites for the title this year.

It wasn't a knock on according to Cummings because hitting his leg negates it. He was 100% sure too. So getting the super zoom out was a massive waste of time and according to him they got it badly wrong.

Definitely agreed with the last part. Ref waved play on and too much happens after that incident. According to some football journos it's why they don't want it in their sport.

Give over. It was a knock on. Every fan of every club on here was that involving their side would call it a knock on. Always has been a knock on so not sure where Cummings came up with this rule amendment.

The other point is probably correct though.

Cummings pandering to the frothing at the mouth sky team who were willing every video decision to go for saints,it was embarrassing.

Seems an odd thing to say if it wasn't the case tho? It just shows how frustrating it is that even refs and ex head of refs are going off two different set of rule books.
