He was very poor indeed that day, wasn't he. Fell for every Southstand whinge. Jammer binned and we still don't know why!

I agree. His decision making depended on the south stands moans! V.poor

he was very poor at leeds last year but when we won at hull he did ok

Any thoughts on this foreign ref today Wes?

You lost so he was crap.

glory supporter who follows saints home and away. get to bed kid

A line official in the 2nd half flagged twice, once for a knock on, once for a forward pass and both were ignored by Alibert.
Blatant holding down and offsides were ignored hand over fist.


His performance today was appauling.

What incentive is there for line officials to flag for clear infringments in future when they are not listened to?

We could blame our performance today, but we played well. The referee was a complete joke and nothing else.
If the RFL don't review his performance today and take action, any games that this guy referees in future will be a laughing stock.

You are p1ssing in wind.

O Dear - lost have we.

My understanding was that he was equally bad for both teams.
Let's face it, a win today would have been a bonus. The game was maybe a bit tighter than the scoreline indicates, and let's hope we get underestimated on the back of it.

it would be a bit simplistic to blame the ref! he did nothing than the usual not wanting to penalise a 'big club'. we were beaten by a team with an awesome defense and some great attacking players. we were never going to overtake teams like saints in an off season were we? what was pleasing to me was that we competed for 76 mins where we could of won had we been a little less green and not forced it as much. we have loads of positives to take from todays performance and may competing with the best teams continue!

6 - 12 with 5 mins to go & Scoreline flattered Saints. The boys should be very proud and were very impressive today. Just a shame about Ref.

Thought the ref did ok today, missed a few but he's human. Got all the big decisions right. He had no bearing on the outcome.

The difference between the 2 teams today was finishing, Saints were clinical. Other than their tries I can't remember Saints having any other chances, in other words every time they got a chance they took it, Giants didn't.

The turning point was Finnigan being held up at 12-6 with 10 to go. One on one he should have got that ball down. Hudd had enough chances in the second half to have won but a mixture of great Sts defence, luck and poor finishing was enough to see Sts home. The scoreline flattered Sts in the end but thats the sign of a class team, playing for the full 80 and scoring late points.
