Washy clearly cups his hands to go for the ball. If he'd wanted to tackle the man in the air surely his arms would be round him?

The thing is bud,it was a pivotal moment,given our way ,we COULD have won.Not complaining too bitterly though,Saints second half comeback was top drawer,and I feel happy we hung on in there.

what about the one when he penalized us for graham moving off the mark?...with a hull player lying on the floor what did ganson expecthim to do?.... to play the ball standing on the player.
ganson gets right up my nose.

That was simply evening things up for a shocking decision against Hull in the set before.

I agree with you on that one Miss Jones.

But Graham did walk forward. He could have played the ball where he was tackled.
What pi$$es me off is that it happens all the time.

And another thing, watch the non play the ball for Puletuas try. That split second makes ALL the difference.

Again, it's something I've moaned about for years.

I'm not convinced it was a penalty to Hull but I did comment several times during the game that Saints players were simply stepping over the ball with no attempt to put their foot on it throughout the game.

there was alot of dodgey descisions made, but washbrook did go for the ball. if players cant challenge for the ball anymore its wrong, in the nrl every high ball is contested, again why the nrl is better.

ATEOTD, Ganson did his very best to keep them in the game, to get them level when the game was almost over and then give them the ball with 1 minute left to have a chance to win the game.

He is a CHEAT and no other sport in the world would have a St Helens fan who is from St Helens reffing a St Helens game.

He is usually quite subtle about it like the offside in the CC final as soon as we go ahead, the Moa "penalty" against Wire last season as soon as we go ahead but this time on about 5 or 6 occasions he has CHEATED to give his team the advantage.

He will continue doing this until the RL do the no-brainer sensible thing and put an end to him reffing St's games.

Is he a passholder at the HJ too?

I didn't say he tried to tackle the man in the air, I think in his head he was going to compete for the ball, it was just a really bad attempt. If he had jumped upwards like the Saints player and then they made contact at a similar height whilst both competing for the ball then I would of said play on.

The fact is he run/jumps sideways into the Saints players legs which you just can't do.

What a load of rubbish. I guess some of those marginal forward passes he called against them were so blatant he had to call them.

You can't be serious right?

Do you only see questionable decisions against your side? Overall Hull got the run of the decisions today, you just weren't quite good enough, but credit to your lot for giving Saints a good game.
