That Perry likes a high shot or two. 8points to Cats directly attributable to his tackling technique, or lack of it.

Not impressed with saints tactics after 20 mins so far.

Ffs. Melis try 10 miles forward, nothing to cats. Opposite end, the blind as a bat TJ gives a forward pass against cats and Thaler hasn't the bottle to over-rule him.

Sts are desperate and very poor. They can think themselves lucky because Thaler is frightened to death of making a decision after his performance last week.

Ben 'Shane Hayne' Thaler and his touchies are having a below par evening.

That no try there from the knock on, as Pryce caught the ball should that not have been deemed a forward pass if he said he played for that ball?

Video ref at it again

Wow sent off??? Sts are chronic, a shambles they've been kept in the game by let's think ????? It makes you think if the game is corrupt, no matter what, the players and fans deserve better.

"It" being "crack", I guess

Awful decision

Nothing in that last disallowed try.

Saints and the ref team win.

WTF. That is the worst video referee decision I have ever seen.

Mike Rush is Uriah Heap.

very humble but a cheating rip.

Ben Thaler refs a controversial game? Never!

Them frenchies are known as being a bit on the sneaky side but they've been out sneaked tonight. You wonder why a nice bloke like Keiron Cunningham has anything to do with them.

I don't see how you can complain about the video ref decision. This idea that it actually matters where the eyes are looking is another of Stevo's inventions like the momentum rule. Millard wasn't in a position to contest the kick, because Makinson put his body inbetween the ball and him, so he had to go through Makinson to get the ball. Had Millard caught it clean it would have been okay, but as it was all he did was shift Makinson out of the way.

Puletua's red was a tad silly as well. Poor technique by Henderson, if you run into a 20 stone Kiwi with your head down like that, it's not surprising you get hit in the head. Puletua just stands his ground, he doesn't attack the head and if Henderson aligns his body better he wouldn't have been in a position to be hit in the head.

Maybe Puletua shouldn't have been sent off but the standard of officialdom is dire and it all went sts way. McManus must be weaving his magic.

Puletua had to walk because of the Moa red card earlier in the year. Unlucky but fair.

The worst video ref decision was the first 'no try'. The player passes the ball onto Pryce and is then caught by another Catalans player. It is not a knock-on, as the ball does not hit the ground or a Saints player after contact with Pryce, and the video ref cannot judge on a forward pass. Why was the try disallowed? I really can't see it.
On the sending off, I don't think there was any intent, you can see the Saints player set himself for the tackle well before the Cats players lowers his body position. However, he after the impact he raises his elbow and it makes it look worse than it is.

I wouldnt be shocked to see Trent Robinson make a complaint, and to be fair I think he would be well entitled to. Ah well, just the way it goes.

Personally Im looking forward to watching the Widnes highlights.

I thought it was a sending off (defenders responsibility to not hit the head) and also thought it was not a try (Millard nudged him before he jumped, wasn't a natural way to move his arm)

Was it Ian Smith who incorrectly ruled the Carvell try last week?

You might as well have monkeys pressing random buttons up there. Cummings would no doubt think they were right all the time as well.

In any other business Cummins would have been sacked years ago. An incompetent overseeing a failed system that actually gets worse every year. Pathetic.
