Matty Smith is looking like a top player. Is he on loan from St Helens or have Salford actually bought him?

not sure i understand where you are coming from?

he is making a play for the ball before it has hit the ground, how can you compare that to the ball hitting a billboard?

i think the way the rule is now seems perfectly logical

So your saying because your feel for your own injustice, which clearly saints fans still like to debate about, it's ok to do it to another team? So that feeling of being hard done by is ok to pass on to other teams?

Whilst I think you deserved the win, I don't think Salford deserved that scoreline.

Both his feet were outside the field of play before he made any contact with ball, so for that moment he wasn't part of the game. Eddie stated that the ruling says the ball has to hit the ground/sponsor board/a spectator before he can collect the ball for the restart.

Now I believe this rule could work with common sense i.e. if Saints were attacking the ball trying to keep it in play by knocking it back for a potential try but the Reds D stopped it from happening by casually collecting and throwing it to the 20 metre, which has happened numerous times. But the ball was clearly dead as saints gave up the attack and set up their line for the handover and Williams was going for a quick re-start to keep the game flowing.

It's the old 'I wouldn't have given it, but I've seen them given' thing.

If you watched the extra time afterwards Jon Wells clears up all of the contentious VR decisions very well, the video ref got it spot on every single time. At the game I thought Gaskell was onside but Jon Wells shows that he wasn't very well. He also confirms the grounding of both Soliola and Roby's try's.
