Honestly. What the heck is going on here? How was that not a try? How were every Wire player around the play the ball not off side? And how is that a penalty against Taukiehko? 

[dkw]

Not sure where the high tackle was then.

[Dunbar]

Unlucky with that one Catalans, I thought he should have given that.

Hmm looked on the line to me

He reached out and it was short but the movement continued and his hand never left the ball until it touched the line.

Exactly what I thought

[EagleEyePie]

What was the penalty for? He didn't hit him high. Were they offside?

He seems to be showing himself to be very anti-Catalan in his commentry.

Always does.

He asked what it was given for, it was given for contact with the head whether there was contact or not is irrelevant to the question. That is what it was given for.

Great try. Deserve that Catalan.

[GeordieSaint]

Really good game this. Both sides playing well. 

[DavidM]

Very nice try . 

[Old Frightful]

Sorry Wire fans but that sets the last quarter up superbly, well played Les Cats.

I think Wire will prevail though.

[bratman]

Good finish

[EagleEyePie]

Good try for Romano but that's pretty poor from Mata'utia. He's no Toby King that's for sure.

[Dunbar]

Classic centre's try

[Old Frightful]

Bloody hell, we've seen some posts hit this weekend.

[Roy Haggerty]

Got to sin bin him for that. Deliberate holding down after a break. 

[GeordieSaint]

Wow… love Johnstone!

[Padge]

How did he manage to stick to that ball.

Game now furious and fast.
