It's actually comical the amount of people that think that refs are biased towards certain teams. Yes you may moan about a decision that you thought should go the other way but by and large refs are right 99% of the time and certainly make far less mistakes than any of us would. If you think that refs are bent go and have a look for the rest of the brain cells you seem to have misplaced.

Glad you find it funny. I don’t.

I don't blame the ref, but Saints don't half push them and get a decent rub of the green.

My feeling is that Catalans are winning the arm wrestle and the contact and this will matter as the game goes deep into the second half.  They are an 80 minute team these days and I think they will have pull away in the second half.  Especially with the loss of Roby for Saints.

Don't find what funny? Why so many bash the refs or you think that the refs are biased?

[JohnM]

Saints will win, I reckon.

I actually think that last pass to Tomkins was forward, good call by the ref.

The problem for them is that Saints seem to be getting a lot of the 50/50s, and they are pushing the refs with slowing down and second efforts in tackles all the time.

Disagree. It looks like it went forward, but to me it was a flat pass that propelled forward. It can only be a forward pass if it goes forward in its first movement 

[graveyard johnny]

no one is suggesting the ref is bent but they shouldnt be ruining games with such inept performances as this one - people will think twice about paying to watch that - do we need captains challenge?

You said it is comical. Don’t put words in my mouth.

I’d bet super league gets the captains challenge next season

[GUBRATS]

He got that one wrong 

But the tackle looked dodgy 

[Carlisle1921]

1 minute into the 2nd half and the ref gives Cats a penalty when they knocked on at PTB, wonder if someone has shown him this forum at half time!

[The Blues Ox]

That was one back for Cats there but then the tip tackle wasn't given.

[Just Browny]

8 point try for Bennison (?) booting him as he put it down?

We're just better! And don't need to push the Refs as we own the RFL.

No way should he have scored that 

[The Blues Ox]

Should that be an 8 point try? Saints player certainly looks like he went in with his foot.

[johnh1]

He really didn’t want to give that try, did he?

I thought it was forward, close but closer to forward than flat at best.

Why are they using a Commodore C64 to create the big screen graphics?

[Havenwarrior]

How was that not a Penalty Try, 2 Saints players where going in with feet!!!

.    Welsby was strong as a wet tissue there.

[The Blues Ox]

Leigh must be rubbing their hands with Roby and Percival both missing when they play.

Should have been an 8 point try, not a penalty try.

[Just Browny]

Saints fans just need to boo and the whistle goes.
