Fri 6th Oct: SL S/F: Catalans Dragons v St Helens KO 20:00 (UK time) (Sky)

That was a try

[DavidM]

I’d like to see that one again but we got the view from the back of the stand 

[Guest]

For what? Would be nice to get a ref explanation.

[Dunbar]

Fantastic occasion.

Full house in the south of France for a Rugby League semi-final against one of the top UK teams.

Amd 0-0 after 18 minutes as its a tough game to win.

What's not to like.

[Eddie]

Disgraceful decision that.

He did

[northamptoncougar]

There’s a strong concept that the arFL actually cannot afford for the Cats to be in the GF

[Andrewj]

Unbelievable!! decisions going for Saints again..

He did, it was for a push on Lomax.

[Ste93]

No try because of a shove? Seemed harsh...

[EagleEyePie]

That's harsh. Lomax goes across Johnstone's line and makes no attempt to play that ball. I'm not sure that's a 'push', more an inevitable collision due to Lomax's decision to position himself between Johnstone and the ball (as you obviously would do).

[graveyard johnny]

nothing wrong with that try - 1st big decision goes saints way - the games a joke

[Andrewj]

They were both challenging for the ball..ridiculous decision!!

[dkw]

Yes, first "games gone" comment after 20 minutes, who had that in the sweepstake?

Yes, I thought there was enough there to rule it out.  He did push Lomax off his feet.

[Gerrumonside ref]

TJ knocks on

[DavidM]

Fantastic play the ball from Walmsley there

[Wolfey Rovers]

Howling error

[sam4731]

Do me a favour, he pushed a player deliberately off the ball. What's the argument.

That's what I like about you johnny... you go from 0 to 60 in about 3 seconds.

Poor quality game this, which is surprising 

[Gerrumonside ref]

Saints made a mess of that opportunity from beginning to end

[bratman]

Very scrappy, maybe a bit clammy

Yes Lomax was just shielding the ball but under the laws I think even so Johnstone can’t shove him out the road.

Must admit I scolded for myself for momentarily thinking a decision might go against Saints.
