They were both at best 50:50 - had they been given Catalans way, I wouldnt have complained too heartily. Does the benefit of doubt to the attacking team not come into this?
Saints were in possession, the ball rattled round and both times a player from each team was holding onto the ball, it seems logical to play on with the attacking team in possession in that situation.
Anyway, on the second one Carlaw knocked on, so it should have been a scrum to Saints anyway. |

| Quote: Code13 "
As it happens I think for the most part Thaler had a good game, and wasnt giving calls in anyones favour (though I do think the forward pass call to deny cats was wrong)
My personal point was that at a stage where the game was still in reach of a Cats side who have shown the can make a big come back Thaler made two calls that were utterly incorrect and within a couple of minutes the game was over as a contest.
'"
I don't agree. I think Thaler's interpretation was pretty much spot-on. I have to fault him on his communication though - he don't call who had the ball and there was also the panalty against Baile where Thaler had called "play on" and then he penalised Baile for a "second" tackle.
I don't think the decisions would have changed the match result, as I think Saints wanted it more than we did and our game plan was not the right one to beat Saints at KR.
What it does change is 3 penalties on the stats that allows tim791 to spout the kind of nonsence he does. |

| Quote: Mild Rover "The Catalans try that was chalked off for a forward pass. The interpretation of 'backwards' seemed a bit variable for a number of knock-ons (Cats)/ dropped balls (Saints). Saints played some sublime Rugby and deserved to win by 15-25. The ref was therefore worth between 9 an 19 points, [iIMO[/i. It didn't alter the result, but it did damage the spectacle.
This happens in all sports for all successful teams, always has, always will. A big team's line is up so quickly because they are aggressive in defence, a little team must be offside. We all want to avoid Saints in the cup both because we know they are a good team, but also because we suspect that those 50/50, benefit of the doubt decisions are likely to go their way. It is a bitter pill, but in RL at least it still gets passed around over the years and decades, which is some consolation.'"
Hull KR got EVERY decision at Knowsley Road this season. So there goes your theory that 'little' teams dont get the decisions. |

Probably the worse conspiracy of them all is a saints team with Ganson on the field losing to Wigan at Murrayfield. This will give him the all clear to ref the Leeds and St Helens final at Old Trafford. If this is the case then I shall never ever watch super league again whilst this corruption is in force.

This thread makes me feel almost as depressed as the next revelation about MPs' expenses fiddles.

I really hope so.
Their tactics at the ptb are a disgrace to the game.
But until the powers that be actually do something then of course they will carry on but it really does spoil the game.'"
It is why GB will always struggle against the Aussies. The play the ball is so slow.
Saints though are quite possibly the most disgaraceful team to grace the field in todays game, and have been for the past 15 years. |
