Well we are 'way ahead' of your mob who yet again can't even get a result against London.

we tried to a stains come back but left too late and we didn't have a ref that would allow a knock on try too

To be fair, he was right in what he said. We got lucky because the officials are absolute laughable. That was no try at the end. I would love to know in what basis the try was given

Why the hell did Salford do that ridiculous short kick off when we'd got it back to 20-30?? We got easy yards and scored in that set. There was absolutely no need to that in that situation. Can't recall who did it be he certainly wants bollocking. They've only themselves to blame for me.

I'm not exactly sure he meant to do it tbh.
It was Inu and he had just been on the deck with a very nasty eye injury that he couldn't see out of. Hastings was all set to take it but he ran back and took it himself. He also has a penchant for kicking it out on the full so I reckon he put a bit less on it....

That was a cracking game - had pretty much everything, and was super entertaining for the neutral.

With regards the non-try though - when two teams have put so much effort and guts into performances of that standard, it's heartbreaking that the result is decided by a VR decision that was quite clearly, without any shadow of doubt, plain wrong; Mr Child, like every other person watching the game, could see that he lost control of the ball - so why not just say, "nope - he's lost that - I'm overturning the on-field decision?"

My view, long held, is that having the on-field ref make a call (guess) on an incident which, by virtue of sending it upstairs, he's already admitting he didn't see - fundamentally alters the mechanic of the VR review system; the VR will naturally veer away from contradicting his fellow ref, so we end up with blatantly unfair results like that, which could have a serious impact on the finishing position of the team on the wrong end of it.

Shameful that one of the most exciting games of the season, was decided on a self-evidently erroneous VR decision. Hard lines Salford.

It would not have decided anything if mistakes from players had not let saints back into the game. Yet the players get a free ride whilst refs get it in the neck. Shock horror.

Thought Salford were a nicely balanced side, a good backline and a hard working pack just need a bit more performance consistency perhaps. Play any other team and there was going to be a win all over it, on that team performance salford should be a top 5 side still plenty of games left to make that happen.

I've no argument with it not being a try. My issue is everyone pinning a win or a lose on 1 element of a game out of the whole 80 minutes.

As for the rule book. That's the problem the ref is constrained by the rules.

Its not beyond reason to think that if saints had been denied that they would not have got another opportunity. The goal kick took the full minute and the play the balls were pedestrian.

Either way Salford did enough to win but that's not always the way it works out.
