Sat 19th Sept: CCQF: St Helens v Warrington Wolves KO 2.30pm (BBC)

[EssexRL]

What a great game - attack and defence. Who’s going to win?

[The Hallucinating Goose]

Warrington have done well to defend that set but can they hold on? Yes, they got it back from the drop out!

Had a bit of luck but Warrington get another try but still one score in it. 

[Man of Kent]

That cancels out the earlier phantom forward pass, for mine. 

[JonM]

Laws of the game say under knock-on and forward pass: "Heading the ball 4. It is illegal to head the ball in a forward direction."

(Just in case any coaches are thinking of using this as a tactic.)

Think that’s only if you do it deliberately

Indeed.

Yep - I assume the ruling was that this was accidental. Although if it accidentally hits your hands and goes forward, that's still usually a knock-on, so I could argue the other way too.

It is, it was changed to that after Saints scored a try after a playerd deliberatly headed the ball forward over the line.

[bobbruce]

Take the 2

[Man of Kent]

Slick 

[MADREDNIGE]

What would we do without the video ref?!!!!!! 

[doc]

More great play. Dumb pen by Hill.

[The Hallucinating Goose]

Game on! 

[Industria ditat]

Good finish but Hill has obviously left his brain cell at home today

[Old Frightful]

Is Chris Hill still Wire's captain?

Hell of a way to lead by example, give a cheap penalty away under your own sticks that leads to a try.

make our own bias minds up and argue about it in the pub later then read it in the papers tomorrow 

[Griff9of13]

That's a big call. 

[Padge]

That was the same as the Hill one.

not Austin

Rather more marginal than the Hill one, but still correct I think. 

[Man of Kent]

20-18 Wire FT. Could hardly hope for a better cup tie.
