What an absolutely dreadful commentary.   Commentate on the obvious all the time.

Who is the commentator 

[JonNgog]

I do think Jouffret is a cracking little player. Could easily play Super League if he wanted to.

How come Roby's not got mom.

[Just Browny]

Knowles at it again.

[Chris22]

Getting sick of Knowles now. Bell should be our starting loose forward until he can learn to control himself.

[my missus]

dearie me will he never learn

 

 

[The Phantom Horseman]

Really good effort from Halifax that. Outclassed yes but had a proper dig and never crumbled.

It means that some people specifically come on here to moan about refereeing decisions rather than commenting on the game.

Ok thanks for the interpretation.

Can we start a separate match thread for whenever Saints play for crying about the referee and another for discussing the actual game?

Why narrow it down to just when Saints play? Every match thread is filled with Trump-esque "we were robbed" whinging these days.

£125 fine. Had it been the other way it would have been a 6 match ban

[The Blues Ox]

Really pleased with that game, thought we defended brilliantly which is reflected in the score considering the gulf in class between the two teams. I thought we had the chance to score a couple more but just that bit of panic on the final option, I also thought we didn't get our fair share of 50/50's but will reserve judgement till I watch the replay but Saints are so good at holding down especially in the first couple of tackles and are willing to give set restarts on those 2 tackles in exchange for getting their defense set. Its smart play and until the rule is changed they will push it to the very limit like they do.

Saints players classy after the game coming over and showing appreciation of the Fax crowd but Morgan Knowles what an idiot, Wellens must be absolutley fuming with him. Down side for us is likely losing Keyes for most of the rest of the season and Doro and Walmsley not looking too cracky either. Probably worth remembering that we produced that effort down to 16 men very early in the game and the back end of the 1st half made us think Saints would run away with it but I thought we got stuck in to them. Tough part now is backing up against Batley next week.

[Old Frightful]

Saints admit that, on reflection, their choice of Gareth Hock as a one on one personal coach for Morgan Knowles might have been bad judgement.

Makinson was blubbering constantly in the ref's ear I really rate him as a player but he was plain embarrassing tonight.

   Seen SL sides not put in as much effort as that against Saints.Fax really did the Championship proud with their gallant display.How much closer would it have been on level terms with Fax getting an extra  £3+ million funding and gate revenue.

Deserved red. Not the worst I’ve ever seen, but in the words of Mick Morgan, that were diabolical.

Yeah, was a tad embarrassing. Clearly Saints were a bit rattled by ‘fax’s resistance

That was Halifax's choice, though.

I recall posting on here just before the season started that IMO John Asiata would walk into any SL team at Loose , and was questioned " in front of Morgan Knowles ? " , It seems I was right 

And yes I agree , Bell is also probably a better option for Saints , again something I posted just prior to the 2022 season , use him right and he'll rip SL up 

[Fax Knight]

Despite being a York fan, I went to the Shay  tonight I thought ‘Fax were great. Saints fans were good as well- nice that they all clapped the youngsters at half-time. The ref, though, was dire. Woodburn-Hall taken out in mid-air and…..nothing. I hate the ‘6 again’, it’s such an arbitrary judgement and he was totally inconsistent in its application. Saints were always going to win. They hardly needed a leg-up from the clown in green. Great night though. But sort out the bar!!!! I aged about 10 years waiting in that queue.
