Newton-le-Willows eh you’re virtually a Saints fan now. I expect you’ll have the little return of the Saint stickman on the back of your car soon.

Dodds having an op on Wednesday expected to be out 12/14 weeks.

I wouldn’t work the fans of the finalists would only have a week to sort out travel and hotels. You would effectively have the same issue we’ve just had with Catalans with every team.

Good point they may gone done to fit extra seats in.

I doubt it’s the Sockets my guess is they don’t want to move the goal line /tryline so are just leaving it there.

You remember the 80s series very differently from me.

Plus Wigan look a much stronger squad next year.

How’s Collins got away with that late high shot on the kicker.

Nice touch with the Allo Allo policeman’s accent.

I don’t think they’d be able to show them in France with that sponsorship.

Well done to Bevan and well done WDL for protecting the poor Wigan players.

Most times it should’ve been a red. He worked on the fact the ref would never send him off so early.

I could actually make a very good argument for all 3 players so seems like a good choice. A bit surprised Asiata isn’t in there though.

They checked it and came to the decision that the Liverpool player was onside. Unfortunately they thought the the goal had been given on field so just said check complete. Which because the linesman had flagged meant he was given as offside listening to the audio backs this up and also makes it even more embarrassing for the people involved.

I’m not sure of your point he’s pretty much the last ref Saints would want.

Short fat hairy legs.

I can see it now the just giving 2 points away stadium.

Yeah a group of 8/9 of us are going no matter who gets there.

Nice touch for Coote to get a send off from the NRL. Which is how it should be done when they actually retire not just retire from the NRL Korbin Sims I’m looking at you.

By the way I think he’s talking about his own bias.

Just to add I’ve no issues with either red card even though I don’t think Jotas first yellow should’ve been given (though he should’ve been booked for his tackle on the edge of the box anyway). The fact is he was on a yellow when he made the second tackle which was just stupid.

It seems they did do a check but somehow thought the goal had been awarded on field. So then when they saw it was onside they just put the graphic up that said check complete. I think the question is at what point they realised they’d cocked up and if it was after Spurs had taken the free kick should they be allowed to stop the game and bring it back.

It would either be a penalty try or a yellow but not both.

Saints won’t beat Catalan away.
