All bad decisions aside, that kick into the in goal was the turning point of the game. Saints were pretty much done for, but the breakaway try gave them a second wind.

Yes it was the turning point. The effort made by half a dozen wakey players to get back was astonishing. Percival is quick, and he had a clear field, but when he passed to Grace, there were four Wakey players in the shot. They'd sprinted the full way. If they'd made the tackle then, I think they'd have gone on to win, but Grace scored a very good try going through them - he's extremely evasive in crowded places. As Ashurst said after the match, it must have been heartbreaking to make all that effort to get there only to still concede.
On such things games turn.

| Wakey should have won and blew it but it was a great effort. Batchelor definitely should have had a penalty try and I though they Taia’s was a double movement at the time. Obviously they are two massive decisons and Wakey fans are right to feel aggrieved. At the same time, however, Wakey got a lot of debatable penalties in the second half that led to tries. I’m not doubting that overall Wakefield have been badly done to overall but the point is some decisions will go for you and some won’t. All the decisions aside Wakefield had that game in the bag and if they’d kicked a drop goal after the penalty on half way (anyone with any sense would) then they’d have won. You concede 3 tries in 7 minutes like that then you don’t deserve to win and a top side would have seen it through. Instead they bottled it.

Snob, credit where it's due. So in your eyes Wakefield are not a TOP SIDE. How do you qualify to be one ?
Please explain how lowly/rubbish Wakefield bottled it ? As if you were playing in the actual game, in which way did they BOTTLE IT Mr Expert ?

Dwarfs, Gnomes, Halflings/GNOME2.JPG The new young dynasty of super saints is coming to a ground near you.

That’s because it wasn’t a head tackle first contact was shoulder when the fans saw the replay on the screen.
Wildcats got twice as many pens (9:5), James Child turned a blind eye to some obstruction and diving at the PTB.
Really good effort from the Wildcats, very well balanced hard working team, but at th.e end of the day it’s just another day in the Saints office for the time being.

| Quote: Magic Superbeetle "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
Show some dignity you were lucky just have the decency to admit it.

Saints fans are unquestionably the most arrogant in the game who’s self worth is only multiplied by the fawning media.
I’d laugh my rocks off if they get nothing this season. I’d even support Cas!

Are you able to discuss anything without turning it into a slanging match?

Wakey fans are the biggest shower of whoppers in Super League. The same set of fans who were asking 'are we a big club again' on their board after a few early season wins against crap teams.
Saints were on their knees at 26-20 down and looked out of it. Wakefield should have gone for a drop goal when they had that set on their line and put themselves two scores clear. There would have only been one winner at that point so Wakey only have themselves to blame.'"
Let it go, you're becoming obsessed

It is "Fifita" not "Fafita"
If you don't know the difference between "there", "their" and "they're" I might get annoyed.
Sharing First World problems so you can get it right first time.

That is my view too and I was screaming out to kick a drop goal at that point. We can't control the referee and change the mistakes we make, we can however control our game management and for me that was the most critical point in the match from the players control point of view.
