Great occasion and a brilliant battle from both sides ruined by stupid decisions!

I thought Warrington were the better team overall though St Helens came back well. Warrington got lucky though, if I was a St Helens fan I would genuinely feel as though I'd had my pocket pinched.

Just listened to KC's interview, I have to say he was very diplomatic.

Well it probably was a try but you don't actually see the ball touch the line just as we were going to see it touch a knee obscures the view.

The only thing I can think is I didn't actually see the frame with the ball on the line, even though a split second later it obviously was.

If they don't get rid of the V.R. at least get rid of the refs take on it & let the V.R. make an unbiased decision.

Does the game need video refs? 90%+ of matches seem to work just fine without.

Not as if that sh*te decision was a one-off, they happen every week or two, albeit some being more significant than others.

You do. View from behind is clear as day. Its actually past and over the line.

Jesus. With the Lineham "try" and Peyroux's not being awarded, Saints have been well and truly shafted.

You see the ball about an inch away from the line before the view is obscured, so unless the video ref thinks the ball just spontaneously combusted it's a f*cking try all day!

No you don't you can see it heading for the line but at the last second a defenders knee obscures the view

annoying thing is, we could all see it was a try, thaler signals no try, fair enough he couldnt see it grounded, (yet somehow saw a similar effort from powell v hull the other week and sent it up for a try), to me there was enough evidence to award that try

saints can feel hard done to tonight, especially after linehams' 'try' but warrington were the better team tonight and over the season so cant begrudge them a trip to old trafford, hopefully if fc get there, they used up all their luck tonight!

Well you don't get a 3d view so there might be a finger underneath it but I agree it was highly likely to hit the line but the fact is no one sees it actually on the line. Under the old system of benefit of the doubt to attackers it's a try all day long but under this system of 'proving' it wasn't you've got to see it touch cleanly.

Your problem is , a finger isnt the width of the ball, one blade of grass on or behind the line touches one tiny bit of the ball and its a try.

Its not even a case of benefit of doubt, if that is sent up without the referees input there isnt even a question its given as a try.

The current system fails the very very basics because it is asking the VR to rule on the basis of something other than what he is seeing.
