did anyone else notice when tickle put the drop goal over fc were all set for the restart and waiting for saints to kick off but saints players were just walking back wellens got the ref to stop the clock why was this allowed it was there own fault for not wanting to get on with it

The crowd certainly got angry with him during that first half last night. A lot of the penalties given to Saints were fair though and we need to stop buggering about at the ruck.

I thought Bentham was embarrassing in the first half

The clock was stopped for at least a minute, and as the game ended on the clock hitting zero it must be the game clock.

Can anyone tell me why we were penalised when Long cruised by Leon Pryce playing statues? I was mystified as my eyes were just on Long running at, through and beyond Pryce.

Even if the ref doesn't start the clock with a signal, the TK will restart the timer when play restarts. The Tk is named on the RFL website on the appointments page.

Aaahhh, simple that one...

What happened was, we broke the Sts defence far to easily and that in itself is not allowed!! I thought it was a very fair decision based on the tripe officiating that i'd witnessed for the previous 40mins!!

I would THEY all rubbish ..They all pi-- in the same pot ..But what do you expect the man in charge of them was a bad ref in his time
