There was a great comment by Wilkin at half time when he said "When Warrington were under pressure they bent but they didn't break. When Saints were under pressure they broke!"

As long as this rumbles on the 50-50 calls have more chance of being given against Sts, that will be so funny to watch. Mcmanus has the perfect face for bitterness

He also said Coote was great and only made 1 error.
The VT play back shown a catalogue of Coote errors.

Hope before the seasons end we get Robert hicks as ref..a standing ovation should be the order of the day just to see the saint's lot go berserk...

I wasn't giving him a round of applause as a pundit I just thought that comment was an excellent analogy of what happened in that first half

That's is fair enough but what foes that actually mean?

Many of Saints errors were caused by our "in yer face " defence & the frustration it caused the Saints players.

The rules are pretty clear :

SECTION 6 – SCORING – TRIES AND GOALS
Section 6.3
Try – How scored
A try is scored when:
a. A player first grounds the ball in the opponents in goal
b. Opposing players simultaneously grounds the ball in the in goal area
c. A tackled player’s momentum carries them into the opponents in goal where the player grounds the ball
Grounding
Grounding the ball includes:
a. Placing the ball on the ground with hand or hands, wrist or forearm
b. Exerting a downward pressure on the ball in contact with the ground
c. Dropping on the ball and covering it with the front part of the body above the waist and below the neck
A player who has had possession or touches/touched the ball and knocks the ball forward must regain possession (catch, hold or grip) prior to the ball hitting the ground, another player, goalpost or cross bar.
For the ball to be deemed grounded, pressure must be applied by the player’s fingers, hand, wrist, forearm or torso so as to create a reasonable influence on the plane of the ball including the spin, rotation, momentum or bounce.

If McManus can prove any of those points were played out by Knowles...
I'll go and get the CC and give it him myself.

If a player only has finger tip pressure from the side ,surely he is not in control of the ball ? Fingertip or wrist contact can really only apply if a player has made contact with a ball already on the ground.

It means it was 12-0 to Warrington at half time because their defence was better. I trust that helps

I understand the score...I don't know how you understand what bending defence is?.. sounds utter bollox to me.

I thought the opposite it was a good description TBF something hard can be brittle etc etc....but you know this

It would appear from a lot of the comments on this forum that you are an authority on talking utter bollox so I'll submit to your experience!

Like our 'pal' Eamonn we all needto move on...I'm not going to lock it, but, please let the thread die of natural causes unless there are any sparkling, worth reading updates to be had.

Thanks
