Although only listening on radio Leeds, there was one incident which could have been taken as a voluntary tackle. A saints player caught the ball just in front of the try line and immediately fell to the ground to avoid being pushed over the line. Did anyone see/remember it? And has a penalty ever been given in such circumstances?
The laws define:


"Voluntary tackle 4. A player in possession shall not deliberately and unnecessarily allow himself to be tackled by voluntarily falling to the ground when not held by an opponent. If a player drops on a loose ball he shall not remain on the ground waiting to be tackled if he has time to regain his feet and continue play."

Stanley Gene down at Bellevue, I think it was against Shudds.

I was always positive that we could win this one...Saints aren't the team they were and we have improved ten-fold to where we were this time last season, especially in defence. Even when Saints went in front off the back of those ridiculous penalties, I still felt confident that we could grind out a win. Superb 80 minute effort from the boys
I also thought we looked fitter than last year too...bearing in mind the mudbath of a pitch that we were playing on, we were still tackling hard at the end whereas last year we would have run out of steam after 60 minutes, so plaudits must go to the conditioning staff as well

What's funny about this thread is a certain Mr willzay had 2 negative comments when we went behind yet not 1 comment since the game finished.

Well then here's one - we could've just as easilly lost last night, just like people who say we could've easily won against Hull and Hudds. happy now?

No not happy with the WE part because you are no supporter of wakey. You might call yourself a fan but you definitely don't support the team.

You just cant help youself can you , your the only bloke on here who can make negatives out of posatives! You are a proper clown just no idea, go spread your poison somewhere else.

Not you Deeencee the willzay

I know lol he never supports the team and he can't wait to say negative things

I concede Cas are playing very well, easily the form team. However they won't play like that all season. Even if they actually won SL they still wouldn't play that well more than a couple of times.

Wakey fans have very short memories but there was a pony from march till may last season when we looked utter class - but a few injuries and a loss in form and it went.

For me you can only judge any team at the end of the season - I can see us finding some super form at some point this season where we will beat the best - however when it arrives nad how long it lasts will define this squad.

What i have seen this season so far is a desire to be good - I'd say we are quite a bit off yet but it's there.

Poor Cunningham "I thought the ruling of a penalty try was that it has to be guaranteed that the player is going to score a try. That was my understanding. Can we guarantee he is going to score it?

It looked absolutely nailed on until he was taken off the ball, did he (Cunningham) want the ball on the ground and a hand 2 inches from it.
