Seriously what is the point of Terry O’Connor as a commentator? 

‘Sione Matautia only knows one way to run - hard and straight.’. - 1 second later… ‘Lovely left foot step’

[dkw]

Erm, sin bin for that?

[Phil]

Do the commentary team realise there’s more than one team involved? 

[Barry Badrinath]

Thats harsh

[Hvy wg]

OK guys it's referee show time.

[andyscoot]

Saints doctors need to be investigated for necromancy.

Kasiano just folded Bentley.

Folded ha ha, no he didn't, he was 3rd man in to wrestle, exactly what you were moaning about Dudson for.

Totally agree, but you must remember who made the recommendation to  liam moore

[Guest]

Thought this would have been a good game, rubbish so far.

[Barry Badrinath]

That possibly could/should be a card

Watch the tape again. He's the one leading contact.

The last time Dudson had physical impact he was in 3rd grade.

[dkw]

Shoulder charge, can't give a penalty try though surely.

[Hvy wg]

Maloney signed for Lezignan and already is there.

[DavidM]

I just don’t think the VR should have any involvement on foul play , here and the NRL it’s a can of worms IMO 

[Agbrigg]

Jesus penalty for that, even soft football would not penalise that.

Shoulder charges are still legal for two players chasing the ball in the same direction.

Absolutely correct, that's not what happened though.

You'd be hard pressed to argue Maloney was going for the ball though.

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

Milk anyone?

[DavidM]

Terry still managed to get in that he’s a fabulous player ( twice )

Agree padge, like I said you see worse examples in football. What's happening to rugby league, it will be touch rugby the way the game is going.

The games tough enough as it is. Maloney turned his whole body in the shoulder charge. It's not the damage done you punish but the intent.
If Walmsley does that he kills someone.

Great first half for St Helens. They have so many good players that can make breaks and score.

Hopefully they can make the extra man pay at the start of the second half and put the game to bed.
