It does seem daft, the more it happens the more it seems like a tactic. 

I’m sure it is and why not?!

Worst rule I’ve seen in my time. I absolutely detest it. Just said to my mate that Good Friday could be the end of me as the ref waves 6 again on the first tackle for the 10th time.

He also said that our defence needed to be better, when actually it hasn't been that bad. 

Our problem has primarily been that we cannot score tries - the main reasons for that being that without Myler, Newman and Fusitua we are so much less threatening out wide.

Running on last tackle several times and then kicking on first & third tackles was mystifying,if your struggling to score at least build pressure & try and capitalise on fatigue.

I can’t watch refs give many more 6 agains on the first tackle of a set. It’s getting too much for my blood pressure. Saints seem extra niggly on the first tackle of a set and who can blame them with that rule. 

Its annoyingly repetitive and blatant in the NRL . Im tending to think on the zero or first tackle it should be a penalty . The restart really is none to minimal punishment and its used tactically

[johnh1]

Isn’t Alex Walmsley playing? I don’t think they have mentioned it.

[WN83]

Does anybody know if Wilkin likes Morgan Knowles or not? 

[johnh1]

No idea. Gives me a headache listening to him, so I just ignore what he says.

I liked Terry’s indepth analysis of him , ‘ he’s a good player isnt he ‘

Not quality for once though? 

[Gerrumonside ref]

Leeds lack guile and nous when they get a sniff of a chance.

[DavidM]

Leeds direction and quality in attack . Wow

[Davo5]

That’s shocking from Walker.

[Tommygilf]

At least Jack Walker is good in attack... oh

[Just Browny]

Generous pass that from young Jack.

[WN83]

Somebody tell Tez it’s Bennison not Benningson or Bennington.

And have more penalties instead, that'll go down well, or do you mean ignore the offence?

Yes, penalise offences. It seemed to serve us well enough for 100 years.

[Tommygilf]

Should have taken 2 again

[WN83]

Hope Lomax is ok after that heavy collision

[Man of Kent]

Feel a bit sorry for Leeds. Decent effort but they just don’t have the players 

[WN83]

Can’t knock Leeds effort

I know the feeling

[Davo5]

That was nasty by Sironen,got to be close to a team warning for Saints.
