Clearly hit the deck yet Child's and the touchjoudges missed it with seconds to go. That's cost me £197... I could knock that *censored* *censored* Childs out right now.

Thats the least of our worries, learning to defend would be a useful thing

heat of the moment which the touch judges also missed

Sa's 'knock on' in the corner actually went back, swings and roundabouts.

The officials also missed some foward passes and knock ons by Saints. The refereeing was poor but pretty even.

In the same way that they completely ignored saints players taking out pryce on the chip through the line only minutes earlier.

Face it, Catalans were worthy winners, and your defence was awful

On the plus side it won me £50

SWEET!

No complaints about that one. Catalans were harshly punished for a couple of backward knock ons inside our 20.

We should not be focusing on the referee but our woeful inability to defend an 18 point lead against admittedly an excellent Catalan team

The pass from Shenton to Makinson looked forward on the replays.. its all swings and roundabouts and I think both sides had even amount of dubious calls in the game.

At the end of the day we lost because of our pathetic defence attempts. The decisions evened themselves out

Can't blame the ref. yeah it did hit the deck but tough S h 1 t, he didn't give it. Got far more to worry about than who is in the middle. God help us when we play Wigan, think we could end up walking back to our cars crying..........hope I am wrong!

As I commented on via the 19 man squad thread.


It was a risk that didn't come off.

No props, no pots.

I thought Child's made some awful decisions for both teams. Catalans probably had the rub of the green in the last 15 minutes (bar the backwards knock on) but I think overly they balanced out.

Child was utter crap. Theres was so many wrong decisions it was a joke! Both teams got stung with bad decisions though and in the end it was impossible to work out who had been more harshly done to

Agreed. One of those where the team who lost are always going to feel hard done by, even though the team who won were punished just as badly.

I'd agree, cant blame the ref he was terrible for both teams

And when you play Warrington.... Not even worth thinking about! Move on, the players will hurt from this but hey, as we found out last year, it's not how you start.

I thought Child was on your teamsheet for the first half, and the Cats' sheet for the second. Even if Pryce's arm touched the floor, Cats still had to score from the play, and that wasn't an easy task - no matter what you think of your defence in the last 20min.

They deserved the try. It would have been a travesty not to give it.
