Yes I think that should be an option for repeated offences. Whereas in the system we have they can effectively do that over and over and over. You call that getting on with the game, I call it spoiling with no risk.

It is an option for repeat offences.

[Chrispmartha]

Whats lomax grumbling at?

So, if the ref gave a penalty one two things would have happened.

One. Leeds kick for touch or take a tap penalty which meant that Saints had even more time to set their defence.

Or

Two. Leeds get a shot at two points.  Maybe that is a justified punishment for a Saints, but as a fan I am happy with getting on with the action.

I can understand that. I like the six-again rule. Refs are more likely to make  a six again call rather than stop the play for a penalty.

 

[DavidM]

Im glad that was a try because penalty try was a farcical decision

[roughyed8]

Where is the 8pt try for McDonald trying to rip Percivals head off ?

[wilsontown]

Why not 8 points? Defender has him round the head.

[Wendigo7]

How the hell was that not a yellow. 
 

It looks awful on replay.

[johnh1]

Why is that not an 8 point try? Head tackle in the act of scoring. Far worse than last night's.

There was more of a case for an 8-point try for McDonald scragging Percival round the head.

[Archie Gordon]

Could have been a try, penalty try or 8-point try, that one. A rare 20-pointer.

[hullste]

Why is that not an 8 point try based on last night?? Percival tackled round the head??

 

[Dave T]

Absolutely should be 8 point try there. 

[DavidM]

Seems a strange way to use Leeming .

[Dave T]

I think this is a slight issue with some of the rules on this. 

Leeds carried out two fouls during that try, but they get no punishment at all. 

[johnh1]

And a sin bin for the off the ball tackle a few seconds earlier. Inconsistency is a killer.

Exactly what i said would happen after last night

[Just Browny]

Ooh, is that a Sneeeyd moment?

Probably not.

Consistently inconsistent.

[Just Browny]

Edit- inappropriate in circumstances. Hope Leeming is OK.

Love to see Saints put a shove on in the scrum there. Noticed a few clubs do it recently 

[Wendigo7]

17k is pretty impressive though. 
Also no one will admit it,  it being trud on your foot really hurts.

Which leads to a Leeds player going off injured...

It's the new fashion, along with short kick-offs and penalty tries.
