Cas can't defend
Saints were great
Refereeing has been an issue for a long time, he wasn't specifically referring to tonights game, but the bigger issue.
Ganson, underfunding and poor training for officials is a huge issue in the game but everyone has already decided to pass it off as sour grapes but will still moan about the refs the next time their team plays.'"
If he wasn't referring to tonight's ref performance, then why mention them. |

He didn't 
He's added in the media interviews with "the players need to do their jobs better and so do the officials". He's clearly thought Kendall has had a shocker (and not for the first time) tonight, his view might change when he calms down and rewatches the game, who knows. But if everyone is honest with themselves, they agree that something needs to be done about the standard of officiating in the sport.

Exactly, and that`s what makes my statement even more shocking
I thought Kendall had a decent game tonight, bar the Watts try, although he is one of the worst refs out of the bunch IMO.

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 |

Thought saints rode the early Cas pressure very well. Started with a very simple forward try, just shear will. Lots of saints fans under rate amor. He's not the biggest prop but has a determination and effort that makes up for any lack of statue.

The new young dynasty of super saints is coming to a ground near you.

Thats 22 tries we've scored against Cas so far this season, Powell should be looking at that instead of letting the ref take the blame. Saints just got on with it despite having some bad calls. Cas got a good spanking and they need to take it on the chin and move on.

Poor from Powell that. I think if he watches some back he may have second thoughts - unless he was talking about the Cas first try of course!
For me coaches just need to keep their mouths shut on referee performances, they have a tough enough job as it is. If you want to question things, have an opportunity to do so after a video review. He was clearly upset and angry, a thinly veiled pop at the refs does himself or the sport no favours.

Very premature to come out with this ridiculous statement, let’s see if saints are the most consistent team of the summer era at the end of the weekly rounds before silly statements are made. They are a Benny Barba injury (or snort) away from being very beatable.
Cas lacked steel tonight and deserved everything we got, the ref was a disgrace for both teams and I’d be upset if he was in charge of a Normanton Knights game. The standard of refereeing has never been as bad however people gloss over this every week and the winning sides fans just waffle on about sour grapes. |

Regardless of what happens this season St Helens are already the most consistent club in the Summer Era.
They have played 599 games and won 416 of them.
Wigan and Leeds have also played 599 games and won 398 and 383 respectively.
Castleford have played 544 and won 237 |

No it's not. This Saints side would beat the Cas team of 2017.
Last year Cas were only a Hardaker or Gale injury away from been very beatable. |

Apart from Cas first try, which other decision did the ref get wrong? |
