29 Sept: SL Play Off Semi Final 1: Warrington Wolves v St Helens KO 8pm (TV)

[Just Browny]

Bloody brilliant, the tantrums from Eddie, Stevo and Cummings make it all the sweeter. What a shower.

[Hullste74]

Warrington score a try that should never of been given and saints score a try that wasn't awarded. Game decided by terrible decisions by the officials and in this day and age this should not happen.

[Just Browny]

Clear evidence the try was scored!!

 

There really wasn't, if we had seen the ball on the ground there would have been.

[Just Browny]

Bit of class from Keiron, I think the Sky team could learn a thing or two.

[CiderWire]

Well done Wire. Unlucky Saints. Some you win, some you lose, whether it's through skillfull and deserving play or the referees aberrations. These things have a habit of evening themselves out. The emotive point is when and where this happens.

[Bedford Roughyed]

Fair play to Cunningham there.  Doubt some other coaches would of been so measured.

[glossop saint]

Gutted.  Absolutely gutted.  Well done Warrington, played well.  That 14 (possibly 16) point swing is massive, but that is the way it goes at times.  It was a gripping last 10 minutes.  Why oh why can't we play a bit more like that in the previous 80 as opposed to the 4 drives and an early kick.

[Irish Saint]

kieran's interview should be interesting, magnanimous, measured etc

Actually one of his better end of game interviews.

[Dave T]

Congratulations Warrington, few decisions went your way but you were the better team.

Hope Sandow returns for final.

Good luck in the final.

They tried their best to goad him into saying something he shouldn't though.

Lol... tend to agree. Warrington quite rightly won the game and this shower are whinging.

Well done Warrington; best side tonight and have been all season. Whilst I am disappointed my side lost tonight, it would have been a travesty if we'd got through as we've been awful and boring to watch all season.

Good luck in the final.

That's 2!!! This is a fix RL is turning into a JOKE!

No definitive evidence whatsoever that the last try was scored, Cobb could never give that under the current interpretations. You can, and I would, argue that it should revert to benefit of the doubt to the attacking side, but as it stands it's the correct call from both on field and video refs.

TV Tony messed up not alerting Thaler to the bobble on the previous Wire try though. Anyway as ever, champion teams overcome adversity, including refereeing calls.

Yep fair do's....i take it back but only slightly as it was still a whinge, just a milder one than usual

[glossop saint]

Also, whilst yes, those try/no try decisions were crucial it is incredibly annoying how the sky team almost make it their number 1 priority to look for refereeing mistakes.  The try where they went back and showed Russel not putting the ball on the line.  Ok, not correct, but they just love to undermine the officials at every opportunity.

Super game. Two very good sides. Top entertainment from great athletes.

 

KC (&others) showing some class. SKY commentators let themselves down again.

[Padge]

So what constitutes clear evidence to suggest that it was a try? How could he have overturned the ref's decision?

 

It must be 100% clear, it never was. Looking like its on the line isn't it is definitely on the line. The protocol stupid

[GeordieSaint]

It was a gripping last 10 minutes. Why oh why can't we play a bit more like that in the previous 80 as opposed to the 4 drives and an early kick.

The eternal question... absolutely breaks me; Percival rarely gets ball in space and Greenwood constantly stuck in the right second row when he runs awesome lines down the left...

[JohnM]

Cobb shouldn't be a ref end of!!

Thaler is warringtons ref

Coming from you Browny that says a lot. Fair play.

[glossop saint]

What a waste of space that right side is.  Owens is so poor and Peyroux does nothing.  Hopefully Morgan will be an improvement and we'll get a fully fit and firing Makinson back, and actually a half back pairing who pass the ball out there!

[GeordieSaint]

Gidley played very well tonight; however, thought Westerman was magnificent - best game I've ever seen him play.

Which is what?

This, 100 times this.

 

Amazing how different your opinion of the refs performance can be when you're not listening to these clowns.
