We've had 4 games to wrap it up and blown them all. I'd hate for it to go to that last game at home to Cas then be worn out for the cup semi.

No doubt Saints were the better team today, dumb play and silly mistakes cost us today. However that's the second home game in a row I've seen the opposition being given a free pass to dictate the game with constant offsides and laying on. That said, the game was there for the taking in the last 5 until they got the last try.

You mean the one that was so blatantly forward you can't believe how eagle eyes child missed it?

I get slated but again when we meeded to win we where e people go on bout how well we done well since newcastle we have been more than poor today was bigger than the semi and we blew it although cobb was pants

Twice in the last seven minutes we had possession in their 20 and twice we panicked and handed possession back. Dumb football, poor defence combined with a ref and touch judge who only looked at one side.

Ultimately, our poor ball control in the first half is what cost us today.
However, Wilkin should have been binned (at least, maybe sent off) and the last try came off a blatant forward pass, plus the try where the grounding looked short.
Cobb never had control of the game and Wilkin seemed to be doing a fair amount of reffing.

A few weeks ago Powell said that a certain ref was against his team and I firmly believe that James Child has a problem with Trinity.

Whether as the ref or touch judge, we get the crap end of the stick every time he is involved.

Saints were there to be beaten today, instead, we are left looking over our shoulder and waiting for someone below us to slip up.

Child is a joke saints clearly kicked out on full in first half but he ran down touch

We are where we are because of our form several weeks ago. We will go into the middle eights as, once again, the weakest team on current form.

We will be lucky to play in million pound game

No, that was a correct call from where I was stood, right in line with the applicable touch line. The short grounding at 32-34 was the big error.


Would like to see the incident with Wilkin again where Saints got the penalty after he retaliated.

Clear shoulder charge from England. He went to apologise to Wilkin who took exception and started swinging.

He hardly touched him. Wilkin went down like a footballer would. I was embarrassed for him. Now consider Ben flowers late shot on Carney yesterday that went unpunished and you can see why folk get frustrated.

I don't deny that we shot our selves in the foot today on numerous occasions but if the last 2 saints tries were wrongly awarded (the last one was definitely a mile forward) then we would still have been in with a shout of a draw if not a win.

Crazy hit by England in the 1st place as the kick through from Wilkin went straight to Jowitt and created no threat whatsoever. Right up there with Sio's ball steal under Saints posts in the 1st half. IQ's in minus numbers for these guys?

Exactly. Less time in Costa Coffee, more time working on the training pitch ironing out silly plays.

You must have been having a rest from posting on here at the time if you saw that.
