And the two Saints players hitting out? 

There been the exact same "hitting out" by several players several times, there is in loads of games, its a shove not a punch.

His cretinous ###### is made worse by how good he can be, last few weeks he's been outstanding, just concentrating on playing rugby. It's all just so pathetic and tedious.

It's not a law... but it is an interpretation. 

An incorrect interpretation at that.

Nah, I disagree.

Gwapple me gwapenuts, that was almost a game-killer!

It's all being undone by Sky's penny-pinching on HD replay cameras.

[Dave T]

Been a cracking game this one. 

[DavidM]

Whatever happened you cant just turn around walk off to appeal to the ref while the play is going on

Excellent stuff.

[Chrispmartha]

Saints are such a boring team to watch these days

[StandOffHalf]

The Saints interference on the Connor PTB and the slap out at Connor would have been penalties if the same incident happened to any other player.

That's fine, it's entirely your perogative to be wrong......

Almost as if the ref was sick of him crying wolf eh....maybe he should just concentrate on playing rugby.

[Barry Badrinath]

How come no one gets penalised for playing on after being tackled now, every time they just get told to go back.

I thought the rules changed on that mate.

Nah, Saints have always had that rule

I know they've gone easy on players offloading, if they can't/don't hear the held call, but I thought it was still the same for grounded tacklers

[Henson Park Old Firm]

Why are the giants wearing their away kit?

The game needs mavericks IMO.

Wallace has had a great game in my opinion..

Players complained in big games they couldn't sometimes hear the held call because of crowd noise. It couldn't be changed just for big games so it was changed so the ref could call them back to the original held mark.

[Barry Badrinath]

Was that another slap from knowles into ikahihifo's face there? 

[dkw]

Giants must be one of the fittest teams in the league, go full on for the whole 80.

They're playing away?

He's not a maverick, he's a cretin.

That was for offloads in standing tackles.

 

I might have a nosey in the laws for that though
