Offside player within 10 yards of the ball being caught.

It’s within 10 metres of an opponent. Think of a kick where there was no defender  you wouldn’t have denied a try in that instance

[Hvy wg 1,892]

One good point, we hit a lot and we hit hard. The rest is appalling what's the point of having Maloney and Folau out there. 

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo 864]

Catalans are shocking.  Any footy on?

Would have been called if Tomkins caught it but a Saints player caught it so no offside.

Tomkins wasn’t even near the ball. He backed out of trying to catch it

Saints winning through composure and using the ball really well. Catalans showing their lack of compose and inferior ball skills. Catalans could have won this, but they've blown it. Fair play Saints (on that count, at least).

They are missing Micky Mac. Da Costa’s nowhere near as good.

So many Doctors on here. Glad I clapped on a Thursday for you lot. 

That's fairly ironic considering you were the one giving all manner of opinions earlier on how fatigued the poor Saints players would be.

 

[Gerrumonside ref 2,392]

Saints ripped them apart then.

[DavidM 10,126]

Wow , amazing that’s Lomax first try of the season

[Rupert Prince 1,548]

Catalans ust too slow.  And shows it as Saints score again.  Pass forward ??

Not wanting to take away tries from teams, but Amor is clearly within 10 when that ball drops.

probably game over now.

Wakefield had a try disallowed for this a few weeks back, St. Helens have a try given after a player inside the ten from a kick. Amazing eh?

[Hvy wg 1,892]

Maloney and Folau are NULS at defending. NRL my ######.

Definitely forward.

Ref says don’t run in after everyone’s run in

Not really, more like expected.

Breaking news. ST Helens name change. Now called St Helens Foward

An opinion that a team with seventeen players will be less fatigued than a team of fifteen players is hardly making comment on a HIA.

Yeap forward a mile.

St Helens are in a good position to win this one.

[Hela Wigmen 2,262]

Love a big win against Catalans and them losing their heads. Horrible, horrible team.

It was far too fat away from him.  The ball went sky rocketing.

As my dad used to say, "Throw the ball away and get on with the game"

Big call Manfred

This thread seems to have turned into a chest-beating contest. Put yer, handbags away...

They might get fatigued though. Don't you know those big horrible opposition players have been really rough with them?

That’s ironic.
