I have a bit of sympathy with the fans at the game, I think any crowd would be thinking they were hard done by even though it turns out the ref is right.

But the real comedy was from the Saints players. Firstly to continue pushing the line with offside (Percival and others were even offside from the penalty given for offside) and messing about at the play the ball after 4/5 penalties in a row. And secondly the look of incredulity on some of the Saints players faces. Surely you knew you were offside? Y'know, when you were in line with the play the ball?

Is it just Scousers? Wigan thugs, Saints offside cheats or Saints fans constantly booing because they aren't getting their own way!

Catalans showing a lot of spirit. If they can adjust their kicking game to get behind Saints defence they can score again. But Saints had looked good in the first 20 minutes.

I expect Saints to beat a depleted Catalan team, but who knows? Thomas Bosc, Gregory Mounis and a couple of times John Zebolon Taia have done well.

If saints can sort themselves out they will run away with this in the 2nd half. Les Catalans haven looked like breaking them down and it took a looong string of (deserved) penalties to get them in.

If they keep giving away so any easy metres and easy repeat sets the Les Catalans could sneak it.

They've always done it mate it's just that Bentham has had a funny turn.

Oh I know they've generally got away with a lot, but to keep at it when the ref is penalising the crap out of you beggars belief.

It's the way they have been coached into it and allowed to get away with it for years, it's just in the DNA now and they can't help themselves.

Massive shoulder charge from Escare there.

how different could this game have been if it wasn't on live tv? several decisions influenced or overturned by the video refs now (and there's no doubt tim roby was 'informed' of the shoulder charge). we need video refs in ALL games or NO games to have a level and fair field

The touch judge had a better view of that than any camera so I'll give him benefit of the doubt, but that was bloody close.

Has Lomax lost his pace? Seemed a bit slow getting caught by Oldfield then.

better from saints second half, sorted the discipline out, only questionable decision would be the shoulder charge by escare, no tv game that isnt a penalty and saints dont score!

He's just carrying on the tradition

A disappointing game in the end, very stop-start. Catalans looked terrible in attack, and were very one dimensional, but Saints' line speed was excellent. I hope for there sake they don't have to rely on Thomas Bosc in too many games this season, he's a poorer version of Matty Smith, and offers nothing.
Saints looked like Saints. When they were good they were almost unplayable, but they'll always give you a spell or 2 where they lose their discipline and make too many errors. The 2 Polynesians in particular look very dodgy to me, and the key for Saints will keeping Amor, and Walmsley fit and on the field for as long as possible.

Funny that, sure looked like him sat in the stands next to Tonga. Why pretend to know where somebody is & who they are with?
