Again the man in possession puts his head into the contact areathe defender Singleton was aiming at the body, this rule stinks.

So you're saying he deliberately put his head in the way of a shot? Don't talk soft.

Stupid fromSingleton but that’s not a red card,paying the price from last weeks game in Perpignan.

The disciplinary panel will probably see the mitigating circumstances but right now, Wigan are a man down against the team that specialises more than any other in strong finishes.

They’ve Ruled there was penalty given for being within ten. 

There was no one receiving the ball though   I've seen that overridden in the past as there was not defender/receiver/ catcher.

 

No saints player was attempting yo collect the ball

Amazing isn't it, a ridiculous read of the situation. 

[DavidM]

Mind you I saw Dave Klemmer sent off so I have no idea . 

[Damien]

Wow, that was fantastic

[clogdance]

Blimey

[Barry Badrinath]

I feel dirty cheering for that

That's a Stevo Orange, borderline yellow/red but a stupid one by Singleton.

Yeh I said clear yellow originally , but from one angle in particular of that I’m not clear . 

[Scubby]

French Fields!

[dkw]

Ha ha, what a lovely little skip and frolic though the fields that was by French....

[Roy Haggerty]

There’s no counter to genuine speed. 

[DavidM]

Clear double movement 

[Damien]

Checking the grounding? Video refs are ridiculous at times. It wasn't referred for the grounding, that's just looking for reasons to disallow.

[snapski]

Magnificent try

[Just Browny]

'Rugger' Grace came in field for no reason there, well exploited by Wigan.

That’s what they ruled. 

[Scubby]

Field is like a player from another era. Quiet at times and then wow!

[Futtocks]

When that sort of try happens, I don't mind the VR. It means I can watch every bit of brilliance in minute detail.

[Roy Haggerty]

Saints do have a genuine speedster in grace, but we’ve never had a way of releasing him into space. We use him as a battering ram and hope he can somehow break a tackle. It’s been a real waste of genuine pace. 
 

But as I said at the start, in a battle of tired legs, speed will tend to win.

And was 10 yards offside and clearly nowhere near the touch line 

[Scubby]

Anyone else excited about Newcastle packed with 50,000 England fans in November? It is a great stadium that holds the noise perfectly.

[DavidM]

Outstanding rugby 

[Barry Badrinath]

Sky blaming matty Lees for shooting the line, he didn't, two defenders moved up, and Jack welsby was in no man's lands feeling sorry for himself. He was at fault there
