Agreed. The camera was poor quality and didn't show anything conclusive. His hand slid down the side of the ball and it would have been slight fingertip pressure, if any.

As I've said, if Hicks sent it up to the video ref as 'no try' which he obviously would have done, it wouldn't be overturned.

Don't really care if it was anyway. We've had out fair share of bad refereeing performance against us, as all clubs have. We were all lamenting Hicks after last years GF.

What about all of Saints’ continual offsides and not square at the PTB (not just in the final but in every game they play)? Hardly a penalty given all game for it

What about and all of their obstructions for the high ball kicks from Wire (at least four saw a Saints player run in a different direction to their original trajectory of run)? One of them Naiqama ran at 90° to his original path and took out Goodwin - No penalty given for any of them

What about the head shot to Daryl Clark when he made that great run and put that grubber in for Grace to knock-on? No penalty was given

What about Tiaia’s high shot on King? No penalty was given

What about our no try? The camera shot from behind showed he didn’t touch him

What about Tiaia obstructing Mamo for the only points Saints scored?

What about the clear forward pass in the league game at the HJ when we’d been NILLING them for an hour up to that point?

Agreed maybe slid sideways...so no downward fingertip pressure or ball control either....no try.
Hicks was Johnny on the spot.

Also what we haven’t seen is the camera shot from behind to show a proper perspective of it.

Hicks would have sent it up as no try and you can’t overturn that and give a try from a zoomed in camera angle from the other side of the ball.

You have to prove for certain that he definitely grounded it. Not show that it looked like he might have grounded it from an unreliable camera angle 100m away.

Another tantrum in tonight's match programme.

I have not been posting on here for the last few months, but I have never been so incensed by an article in rugby league. I was at Wembley and although I went there never expecting a win, the wire fully deserved the win on the day. Can’t get away from the fact saints have been the best team this year, but the arrogance of the vans on redvee before the finally was disgusting and disrespectful and you can see where it all comes from, if the owner of Staines comes out with shat like that.... big ask if we can get to the grand final but that article should be pinned on to the dressing room door no team talk required..I thought Wigan was the team I loved to beat the most but this makes saints look another low level

Nor is it sour grapes, or taking away anything from Warrington's win.

Holbrook immediately complaining about the referee tonight in his interview,.....................after a victory!!

Go on Brian carney you ledge!!

Fair play to Carney on Sky Sports calling out Eamon McManus on his pathetic piece in the match day program. ‘Adding fuel to the fire’ on the pressure of referees...

That’s right.
For all the saints faux outrage, I havn’t seen an image that conclusively shows the moment of a try being scored, in accordance with the laws of scoring a try.

Missed that. Fell asleep.
Did he give it to Holbrook?
