Agreed a draw would be a fair result IMHO

Nah. The actual result was in fact the fair result.

Disagree, two mistakes (or a lucky bounce if you prefer) for the first two tries.

The one clinical piece of play was by Eastmond.

Wigan never completed any chance they created whereas Saints did.

For this alone Saints deserved two points.

Fantastic efforts by both team in defence I thought.

By replacing 2 letters with one, as so ...

The one cynical piece of play was by Eastmond

... and you're bang on.

Using one hand to crawl over the line after your momentum has been halted is still a double-movement, even if the ball-carrying arm hasn't left the deck.

You usually talk sense mate, but deep down you know this is rubbish!

Yes it was. It would have been a double movement if the ground had been dry. In fact, he would have been stopped well short of the tryline. However, the ground was wet so he was sliding. His momentum [iwas not stopped[/i. It was one continuous movement and therefore the fact that he pushed himself along, which he so clearly did, was irrelevant. He simply kept the movement going until it ended.

The try was opportunistic, as was yours when Meli displayed his fine defensive move (not!).

When did his momentum stop?

If he can drag himself 5 yards with one arm, with a prop lying on top of him then he should be in the Mr Universe competition, never mind SL.

The funny thing is that Prescott was on top of Eastmond and had clamped Kyles ball carrying arm, to try and prevent him from scoring. If he hadn't I think Eastmond would have been tempted to reach out and the try would probably have been wiped out.

When even Hemmings questions it.....makes you wonder

Looked ok to me but I haven't seen it again yet.

orrible innit....we`ve had this feeling many a time at the hands of you lot...well worth the wait.....good luck for the rest of the season ...i mean that

Just found this.
The Westwood try on Saturday was disallowed for exactly the same thing.

Interesting. The only difference was kyle was sliding on a greasy surface, and his leg drive preserved his momentum somewhat in a nice smooth movement over the line.

Westwood kind of crawled, which meant a less than smooth movement, meaning that there were points when perhaps you could say momentum had stopped.

I think it was technically a try (westwood's). I'd have accepted a deceision either way tbh.

It would have been given in SL IMO.
