Yes, I agree we got some tough decisions, but you make a lot of your own luck.
We did pass the ball forward too much, Miller did drop the ball with a run in, as did Collis, Ali did obstruct when it was two on one for Lynne to run it in.
Whilst I agree Saints got the rub, we won't get many better opportunities to beat a top team this year.
Great shame. Two points lost. Even with the decisions, sadly only ourselves to blame.
I would have had Wilkin in the bin for the high tackle / shoulder charge to the head.
Saints slowing down the play of the ball all game - but that's professionalism - if Hicks thinks that's quick enough, we should have done the same.

Just shows the independent panel isn't as independent as they say

In the sixties and seventies a trip was always instant dismissal, as was the 'stiff arm ' tackle.
In many ways there is more leniency now.

Are you meaning the 'Cumberland throw'?

Ah, the old Arsene Wenger gag.

I was talking about the attack to the head rather than the trip which is why I mentioned the trip totaly seperate to the Wilkin foul.

The very worst stiff arms of the 70s (I never mentioned the 60s) were disciplined but ones like that of Wilkin on Friday were par for the course and hardly warranted a raised eyebrow.

The Cumberland throw wasn't illegal so doesn't even come into the equation.
