Thu 10th Feb: SL: St Helens v Catalans Dragons KO 20:00 SKY

[Davo5]

Welsby gets away with mugging Davies & killing a great attacking position for the Dragons.

[Northern Eel]

Lots of infringements around the ruck. All being allowed to go. (on both sides)

[JohnM]

Love the Saints technique of lying on at every pTB.

That's disgraceful. Held him down and had 2 goes - not a peanlty?

Sin bin all day 

[dkw]

Another very good try, it's a decent game when rugby occurs in amongst all the garbage.

Wait until you discover Walmsley walking 5km forward before playing his ball

[Northern Eel]

Looked forward to me, but can't be sure.

[Jughead]

Games over if Saints play as they have done the last few sets and don’t get drawn into Catalans’ rubbish and thuggery.

Nice move

[Man of Kent]

That was coming. Catalans a bit gassed. 

How good is rugby league? What a sport

I am unbiased.

A 20m gap for Makinson to stroll through - that's got to be a concern for the Dragons.

[newbe]

Looks good on tv, crowd wise, nice n feisty aswell.

Nice to see most posters still can't enjoy the actual rugby and choose to pick up on every decision the officials make instead

You forgot others counting seats

[Northern Eel]

What an offload that is. Dragons are knackered. Saints have weathered the storm.

[dkw]

Brilliant by Hurrel, some more nice passing by saints.

Is it only offsides that count as differential penalties or any infringement from a scrum like a high tackle?

Differential Penalty 1. In respect of misconduct at the scrum other than foul play or the use of offensive or obscene language a Referee shall award a differential penalty which differs only from a penalty kick in that a goal cannot be scored from it. The differential penalty applies to all players, even those outside the scrum, who should be penalised where they offend. A full penalty is awarded for an offence which occurs before the scrum is properly formed.

[Eddie]

Looks/sounds like a decent crowd, more than the 8.8k some predicted on this forum.

Dragons look like they've blown themselves out with that first 15 minutes of daftness.

[andyscoot]

Great work from Hurrel, the big shoulder and offload.

The return of the Hurrellicane … finished by Mr Superhuman
