There you go.

[Futtocks]

Knowles with the winner?

[my missus]

bloody hell saints score off another forwad pass cats well robbed this game.

[Northern Eel]

Loose carry missed, then another blatant forward pass missed. Saints leading a charmed life.

[snapski]

Saints knock on and get the decision. Fages pass forward for try. Liam Moore may as well have just scored the try himself.

[Man of Kent]

You feel Catalans paid the price for putting the cue in the rack.

[GeordieSaint]

That’s actually a brilliant try. The run from Smith the tackle before is absolutely top draw under pressure. Excellent from Knowles too. Great stuff.

[Old Frightful]

And the ref ignores a blatant forward pass from Fages to Knowles for the winning try.

I didn't think that one was forward, was flat. The others though..... 

[Man of Kent]

26-22 Saints with less than a minute left

Had the pass not been forward you might be right.

To be fair, Saints shouldn't have even been in possession.

[Man of Kent]

Catalans 22-26 Saints FT. Gutsy win but I felt the Dragons clocked off early.

I’ll hold my hand up, we got lucky on more than one occasion this evening. A few dodgy calls went our way from the referee. 

Good win for a very young Saints side. 

[my missus]

sorry but that is just wrong, two trys off obvious forward passes it makes you wonder.

[snapski]

Thaler was a joke on Thursday. This tops that performance. Moore was a disgrace.

[The Hallucinating Goose]

Refereeing quality at the moment is an absolute joke. RFL should be ashamed of themselves. 

[my missus]

this "we can't lok at forward passes" rule has got to be sorted out.

[Loiner]

This ref not fit to run a NCL third division game. Pub team referee. Diabolical.

[Man of Kent]

I don’t like talking about refs as I’m sure they try their best etc. 

There’s no doubt there’s less than a handful of high quality refs in Super League, however.

[redjonn]

I think the ref got the last couple calls right... it was a definite knock on by Catalan, clearly see it came off Catalan player hand. Sky stopped showing replay when it was clear Catalan knock on as commentators made a wrong call  - the ref ref being right.

Unless lined up with linesmen how the hell anybody on here say it was forward, the camera angle wasn't good and it came out his hands backwards....

in my opinion of course 

[Bod]

Do some of you on here actually watch both sides? Plenty was missed for both sides.

It is ridiculous, especially when they go to the video ref and it is so obvious. It is like admitting that they can see a rule has been broken and that they missed it but they don't care to correct their mistake. Surely it is better to get the decisions right than stick to some strange rule about not looking at a forward pass. Why do we not look at that but we look at obstructions or being in touch or whatever, all those things will chalk off a try so why that particular one? There is absolutely no reason not to look at it!! Take a breath...
