How was that not looked at for a penalty try??

Probably because the RFL hate Wakefield.

Double movement by a mile!

Do you want a bit of gravy on that hat?

Don't ever become a tipster - You'll be bloody useless at it.

Beat team lost. Class effort from Trinity.

Some questionable decisions there.

Wakey should have won that game if it weren't for a couple of them.

Batchelor having his arm kicked when he tried to ground the ball and Taia's grounding both should have gone to the video ref. Yet Child goes to the video ref to check if a kick went out on the full or not! Classic stuff.

Chow down and choke on that you [NOPE!]. You can only dream of watching your team playing Rugby at that level now shut up.

Eloquently put.


Definitely a penalty try on bachelor for me.

That disgusting disgrace tonight is all the proof you need.

They hate us and can’t stand us being in the top 8.

That was a disgrace.i

I’m absolutely so sick of this 3. You all hate us so think it’s a laugh.

I ducking hate you all scum bags. Stick your saints up your ar53.

You are so right [REMOVED].

Like when Lyne quite clearly put the ball down before regaining his feet to win a penalty which resulted in the try that took you ahead? Or the penalty Johnstone won for a “high shot” that was identical to one Taia received on the set before which led to the try before that and started the role that Wakefield got on? All of these things even themselves out over the course of a match.

As for the Taia decision - if not a try, it’s a sin bin for a head shot on Lomax off the ball. I actually think Child gave the try to avoid that decision.

I get Sky want to get controversy, but I don’t think Saints would have won a Sky game this year “if” not for reffing decisions.

Edit: that’s not to say that Wakefield didn’t deserve to push us all the way and played their part in a great game of rugby that I’m sure was great for the neutrals.

But the video ref isn't there for penalties is he? He is there for suspect tries, however.

I'm calling bull5h1t on that; a penalty try all day long that somehow became just a penalty, and a clear as you like double movement that should never have been a try - they do not, under any circumstances, get netted off by a couple of questionable high shots.

I don't like complaining about referees, but Mr Child is hardly shy of using the VR - why on earth he chose not for those incidents, is beyond my comprehension.
