Pretty big one this weekend, in front of the Sky cameras. Win it and it consolidates third place for the time being, gives us a bit of breathing space back to the chasing pack. Lose it and all bets are off.

Ben Thaler refs it.

=#FF0040Love it .

Dank je wel

is henderson definately playing? he was out last week!

No Ferriol. Appeal failed, so he's out and Cyrille Gossard is in. Gossard over Mickey Simon? Don't see it myself.

Yes, he was rested last week.

Greeny didn't make it - StacAttack at full-back. Went 8-0 up, but Saints turned it round to 8-10. A late try, goal and drop goal send Dragons into half-time 15-10 to the good.
It's been good so far.

If you don't get over the line again you have been robbed. That was a definite try. Ian Smith has really done you over there, Milards eyes never left the ball and the contact was minimal

Well I've seen some decisions in my time over the last 30 years, but that... I can scarcely believe it

Not much you can do when the winning try is disallowed for absolutely no reason.

Facepalm from a Wigan fan here. I know its Saints, but you guys have been robbed...

Saints win 20-15.
If we'd taken our chances, we'd have won that game and we wouldn't have to talk about......... that. But as it is, there's a sour taste left in the mouth tonight.


I don't have time to feck about cleaning up, so debate that in civil terms - no irrational abuse, nothing libellous. You're all on warning.

Still had to convert it, but even so.

I just can't fathom it.

It's almost as if it was some kind of justice for Saints being reduced to 12 for a legitimate hit...

Catalans beet saints by a mile tonight they simply got beet by poor (full time) referees. Pathetic.

I blame the celery cap.

Does my swede in. Never bean happy with it.

Raguin's disallowed try was [unot [/ua knock on, for it to be a knock on it has to hit the ground, posts or an opposition player, there was nothing wrong with the Lomax pass, then it hits Millard's arm and even if it went back up or forward, it could only be a forward pass, correct me if i'm wrong, but you cannot refer a forward pass upstairs, so a try must be given.

I will correct you because you are wrong. The ball goes forward and makes contact with another player therefore it's a knock on. He didn't pass it so it's not a forward pass.

The last disallowed try should have been given and Puletua shouldn't even have been penalised. There were lots of poor decisions but the knock on wasn't one of them

Because that's how it works? Non-sequitur

Fundamentally, Dragons lost because of an inability to convert opportunities and some bizarre defensive work under the high ball. But the Cardace decision was just plain odd.

tee hee

Anyway, any frustration can be taken out on the AULD ENEMY and the JUDAS TETE DE BUISSON next week. Bring it.
