Fri 7th Jul: SL: Warrington Wolves v St Helens KO 20:00 (Sky)

[Old Frightful]

Sensational try that might have been disallowed but for the fact that Saints never get pinged for forward passes.

[Havenwarrior]

Games getting as bad as Rugby Union, officials missing too many Forward Passes.

 

HW

[Ragingbull]

Jack Smith with a shocker again.......

Every single week

Good thinking by Welsby to go long to create the space for that one.

Yes, Wigan born and former Wigan Warriors season ticket holder Jack Smith has seen the error of his ways and sleeps in Saints bedding with pictures of Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook above his bed.

He had 2 to choose from and didn’t see either of them!

Lovely try - cue the tedious week-long debate about whether or not it was a forward pass

[johnh1]

Saints get away with a forward pass. Well I never.

If you didn't think it was then why mention it?

My god, do people truly believe that Saints are the only team that get away with forward passes. Get a grip. Warrington had one missed earlier in the game, it just didn't lead to a try.

Well, yeah, all the refs are on the payroll at Saints, aren’t they?

[DavidM]

Saints have given a fair few pens and restarts away

Can you take your common sense and leave please, sir? We don’t want your type here. Conspiracy theories only.

And don't forget to mention that the RFL think it's really good for the comp if the same team wins it every year so it makes sense to rig the games in their favour.

Well, I didn't say that, I suggested that they never get pinged for a forward pass, they're not the only ones.

So why mention Saints?

Because they're the team that just scored from a forward pass in the game that I'm watching?

Why would there be a debate? It was a long way forward.

JonNgog's take on the Kennedy shooting: "Lovely parade - gets lost in all the chatter about the minor shooting at the end."

Two teams with some similarities. Neither look particularly confident and both have pretty poor right edges that look vulnerable. The scoreline may have Saints ahead but the discipline (colour me shocked, it’s the same every week) is poor and Warrington’s pack are well disciplined and playing well. It’ll cost us eventually, we have to hope we get three tries before it inevitably costs us, mind.

Not the first and certainly  not the last.

Hardly a long way forward but it was forward nonetheless.

Or are you trying to get references to Shaun Long in as many posts as possible?
