Quote: Dave T "I agree Saddened.
Agreed about the drop out incidents too. The in-goal judge over-ruled the linesman, and the ref was right to go with him. From 50m with P&B glasses on it looked like Saints knocked it out. From 5m as a neutral ref, the reality is that it was probably Riley who knocked it out.

Totally disagree. I was stood on the wall with my two boys right in front of that incident and Gardner clearly hit the ball first. The touch judge was on the spot and flagged for a 20 metre restart and at first silverwood agreed with him, then the in goal judge intervened who was further away and the ref went with him.
That said Silverwood didn't cost us the game, our missed kicks and lack of composure at 20-18 did.
