I couldn't believe the Tony Martin try near the end. The ref was giving "held up", Martin claimed he got the ball down. They go to the video ref who, after umpteen looks at it and not even a suggestion of him grounding the ball or indeed which side of the line, gives "Try, benefit of the doubt"!

So, lesson to be learned for players, in future always claim you scored as, if the video evidence is inconclusive you will get "Try, benefit of the doubt" which I personally think should be renamed "Oh, go on then"!

Despite the quality of the opposition Clinton Schifcofske played well especially when you consider he is 35.

Bradford were very disappointing though. Mick Potter has got a lot of work to do there.

wife woke me up at 6am to watch the union......I thought it was the worst sport I was going to see this week....but then SKY NZ showed delayed coverage of the welsh v bulls.........the worst game of SL RL I have seen in ages.

The only good thing was eddies comment about st George players watching it on TV and assuring them that Wigan are better than the 2 on show. icon_biggrin.gif

As for the crowd....? Who cares?

Quote: PHIPPS "He did.'"


According to the rulebook of televised games, he probably did. It only has to show the slightest touch with the hand, Meli at Wigan last year (I think) was an example of this.



Quote: PHIPPS "Gareth Thomas screwed up and L'Estrange capitalised on it.'"


In my eyes, L'Estrange knocked the ball out of his hand (not purposely, just in the tackle) which I think is now a knock on whether they went to knock it out or went to tackle IIRC.

in that situation, the video ref has no choice but to give benefit of the doubt. not sure why Silverwood went to video when he was stood right over the play with his face inches from the incident, then claimed he hadnt seen it.

Not sure how he expected Thaler to have a magical camera that could see through a pile of players from 50m away, but surely he knew it was going to end up being BOD, so may as well have just given the try.

Phil Clarke said, "These two teams have managed to take the 'Super' out of Super League." That was an understatement. Mistakes throughout, poor playing standards seen in the skill levels on show accompanied by a very ordinary performance by the referee. Thank goodness we don't see many games like this in a season. Let's hope it has lulled the St George Dragons into a false sense of security regarding the standards in SL.

A fair assessment.

I imagine the Crusaders care about the low crowd though. It's all lost revenue isn't it.

It's just their problem...they will need to address it, but it has SFA to do with anyone else.
For nearly 10 years I have banged on about our terrible crowds...on here, the the RFL and directly to the club.....in the same period, I have defended us against throw away comments from the flat earth society regarding our attendance problems.....It is our problem....it has nothing to do with anyone other than the club and the RFL......but when Wakefield, who everyone thinks it will be, are ejected from SL, these boards will go into meltdown regarding Crusaders, Quins and possibly Salford having crap crowds and having no place in SL.

Without SKY TV, Professional RL in the UK would be dead or very nearly dying.......the flat earth society seem to want to forget this...they'd rather halifax and Widnes were in and we and the welsh were out......Wigan and maybe 2 other clubs would remain full-time pro, the rest would be part time.......the fans would do what they were doing in the early 90's...drift away and the game would go back to being a local past time........that's progress according to the flate earth society icon_rolleyes.gif
BTW.......to date, Halifax still hold the record for the lowest average attendance during a season.........

I turned off the match when L'Estrange scored that easy try. I never knew that I still had a deep rooted problem with Bradford winning icon_lol.gif

However the game was better than the union one between England and France. That was a kick-a-thon, stop and start affair before I could switch it over to the rugby league.

I agree tbh, but it will help when he has his first choice 6, 7 & 13 available, and when he doesn't have a player taken off injured early on.

Not using that as an excuse though, there were some apalling errors from us and we will have to improve on that. Just glad we got the 2 points though.

More importantly than L'estrange potentially knocking on to score the try was that he wasn't standing square.
