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.

Quote: Leaguefan "One day these guys will be found out.

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.

What is lovely when this happens, is the indignation of (some) Saints RLfans. 'But... but... WE'RE [iSAINTS[/i!' My favourite was the last gasp try at NCP last year, ruled out because a player had been tackled. It was correct, but the sort of thing that 'big' teams so often get away with. Even watching the DVD back I half expected it to be given.

Success can spoil fans and, as has been pointed out, Saints have had a lot of success in recent years. icon_wink.gif

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled. For 27 - 0 you get a trophy For 75 - 0 you get sod all. Wigan had eight in a row Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg

Indeed.

And what about the Aussies losing the first test circa 2001 when Bob Connolly reffed?

It was a deliberate ploy to ensure that their gripe against the referee carried more weight and that they could ensure that the future decisons went in their favour.

Thaler gave Saints the game. Things like this [inever[/i used to happen when John Holdsworth was around.

I propose that we look at referee's expenses.
