Did I miss the new rule that James Roby must not be called for a penalty?

He stole the ball when Richards got binned
Twice he's stole the ball in a 2 man tackle within 5 mins

Saints are the better team, there's no denying that but some of these calls ????

whistle!
Thank god for that.

Well that was a bit of a letdown wasn't it? Keiron Cunnigham seems to have aquired a copy of the Shaun Wane book of PTB shannanigans from somewhere, and the offside was, ahem, generously policed. Then Bentham went mad for 10 mins and came down justifiably hard on Saints, then gave up 2nd half again.

Shoulder charge is obviously the new obstruction rule for this season.

If Catalans can sort their away form out, they'll be more of a threat than Saints.

Agreed morrisseyisawire.
Catalan away could be our yard stick early doors.
I fear us not against any of our neighbours.

Catalans without early injuries that effectively took some juice out of them, especially over 130mins+ of rugby, Hull fc and Salford look to be the only teams that are less exposed than the rest, each could potentially be anything this season with the shrewd signings.

if Catalan had a halfback on the pitch last night they would have won. No invention twenty metres out.

i was thinking the same thing..these stupid rules dont help.i.e cats having a try dis-allowed for contesting a ball in the air..it justs complicates what basically is a simple game

What was the pen count ?

no idea you tell me..i turned it over to watch corry and benidorm

about 35 minutes!

No idea mate. I wasn't being funny I genuinly don't know. Seemed that catalan had a long spell of pens on our line.

12-8 to Saints.

Nice try.

Which one? I liked young Saveilo one personally.


Not trying anything mate, like I said I didn't know the pen count and seemed to go the French way as they seemed to have a spell of getting them. I don't really care about the pen count tbh, I care about the result which was Defo in saints favour.

Your reading the stat wrong, it was 12 conceded by saints vs 8 conceded by Catalans. You can see this by the individual stats.

Point being all this Saints got away with murder ain't true.
