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 not a 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.

thats exactly what i thought when earlier in the game they said the ball touched melis hand when it never did which led to a catalan try....
..swings and roundabouts.

Of course easy for fans of the preferred clubs to say.

But nonetheless well done Saints. Enjoy the win as much as your manager seemed to at full time.

J'ai regardé le match hier soir et n'ont pas été tellement choqué à un résultat pendant un certain temps. Sky faisaient l'éloge de l'arbitre qui je pensais était horrible. Catalane a eu deux essais refusés, on passe avant qui était très bien et l'un près de la fin. D'un autre côté St Helens ont obtenu un essai sur une passe en avant énorme et j'ai eu une au début quand Hohia un bond en avant de se lever dans les duels. Vous avez été complètement pillé et n'est même pas mentionné à la télévision. Ensuite, pour ajouter l'insulte à l'entraîneur Rush blessures Saints commence à avoir un aller à Robinson d'après la sirène. J'espère que cela a du sens!

By the way, the post above is simply stating that Catalan were robbed. Saints scored their first try off the back of Hohia (spelling?) diving forward in the tackle in a similar fashion to skinny cheat Tompkins or rubber lipped slow man Tom Briscoe. Catalan then had a try disallowed from a long looped ball to the right wing which was clearly fine. Then they had the try late on disallowed when two guys were jumping for the same ball. Saints also had a try allowed for a similar looped pass that was clearly forward.
I started watching the game not giving a hoot who won but ended up willing Catalan to win. Disgraceful officiating all round.
And what was Rush doing at the end. Robinson sportingly shook his hand and Rush was immediately in his face, notice the cameras quickly panned away.

I thought that with the greensleeves try against us in the last minute...what goes around comes around. Get over it
