Clarke is the only real class player in Cas' pack. Huby is/was undoubtedly having his best season, is our best prop by a country mile, but he still has to convince me he can knuckle down, lose the puppy fat, & terrorise the opposition consistently. Fozzard is never around long enough to make an impact, decent signing though. I thought we missed Widders as much as anyone.

I think i may just give up on rugby league.

When you have Child reffing it's just not worth turning up. Three forward passes. None called. Three tries. The fact this man has a job in superleague is amazing.

Nothing to do with the fact that Crusaders are sh*te

Simplified rule of forward passes by me:


"If it is marginal, and passed by the team playing my side, or is a team I don't particularly like, then it's forward. Otherwise, it's a perfectly good pass"


Move along, nothing new to see here.

I love how they crack down on the forward passes that have been well and truly out of control this season and call several Saints passes forward when it's Saints that have been suffering so much from it this season.

If only Ganson and his trigenometry skill were present for the derby against Wigan. He's clearly been told to crack down on it and he's getting a few wrong. Oh for proper officials...

Roby's "forward" pass just then was half a yard backwards. No mention from the clowns doing the commentary.

Maybe over compensating with the old forward pass slightly.

What is going on this season with forward passes!? Blatant forward ones not given and clearly backward passes been called as forward!

They cannot judge them properly because they are incompetent and so when it becomes a big issue they tell them to crack down on it.

BUT whilst cracking down on it they are incompetent and cannot judge them properly.

It's a viscious circle...

Just seen Saints pulled up around 3/4 times for forward passes, I thought the pass from Horne to Yeaman for his second try was also forward.

I am surprised

Ganson has made some poor decisions for Hull also, although not forward passes.

Horne's pass to Yeaman just then was a yard forward too

Another 'interesting' pass that hands Saints another defeat.

Clarke and his Irish cronie are going mad over that, but if they bothered to look he takes Ashe in the knees and the ball actually comes off the Hull player forward to another Hull player. It's the same outcome whether you penalise the challenge or not.
