[Davo5]

Saints by 40

[Siwel14]

Does the commentator know he isn't on the radio and commentating on rugby not horse racing?

[Wolfey Rovers]

Seriously need to scrap the try, no try live decision before video refs, two wrong calls 

[OMEGA]

That was the very definition of a double movement !

How on earth have they looked at that from two or three angles and come up with a Try

[OMEGA]

Woodbury- Hall tackled in the air - No penalty
Saltonstall dragged into touch - No penalty
Clear No-Try sent up as a Try   
Definition of a double movement given as a Try

What’s going on?

Because standard of refereeing is increasing getting poorer

I agree, it biases the VR too much. If the VR can't decide he sends it back as inconclusive and the ref has to make a decision.

[Wolfey Rovers]

Can someone get Amor a towel? He isn't a Saints player anymore... It's boring to hear constantly how saints are amazing.

The ref is already telling them his decision.

Sounds like the usual.

Saints player laying in the ptb area interferes with play, Halifax knock on.

[Wolfey Rovers]

To be fair it's a moore brother. Always ruin games. and the RFL loves them! Worser the better with the the regulatory body.

[Wolfey Rovers]

Did Tommy makinson just bully the ref into saying no try? Tommy was screaming at him

If there is no video ref that’s the decision the refs giving I think it’s right that if the VR wants to overturn it he should be certain he is right otherwise just leave it.

The referees got quite a bit wrong, but he gets this one right. It's now the player playing the balls responsibility to play it correctly.

[spanishknight]

Saints have no need to get out of first gear, Fax don't look like scoring

[Wolfey Rovers]

Obvious knock on, I mean blindingly obvious knock on missed. Incredible really.

[Chris22]

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

Not a clue what this means.

[my missus]

good god he actually through himself to the floor.

[my missus]

fax roughing it up a bit now.

 

[Segovia Carpet]

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

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

they seem to think they constantly have to be saying something, even when they have nothing worth saying. My favourite was “Saints are flooding forward in numbers” after Wingfield barged over, a football cliche that made absolutely no sense in a rugby league context
