don't want to hear saints fans moaning about other teams getting the 50-50 calls anymore.

That wasn't even 50-50.

Ever since the Hull KR-Wigan game a few weeks ago when he gifted Wigan the game with his errors he has been absolutely abysmal. He's always had terribly slow play the balls which pander to teams which play the game the wrong way and has a very poor rapport with the players but these are now mixed with some very average general form.

Thankfully, and rightly, he won't be getting either of the big finals this year.

Could say the same about Escare's try too. Officials have had a ropey night all round.

that wasn't a penalty either Roby moved and whitehead came off the try line.

Ropey in saints favour.

He's ruined what could of been a fantastic semi final so far along with the touch judges.
I think Catalan have been very hard done by... It'll be hard to forget being a semi final!

I agree he has been terrible in general but he is defiantly favouring saints but then again saints are on top as well.

The officials have got A LOT wrong tonight.. Not good enough for play-offs. Catalans first try, Makinson having his leg in touch in first half, turner blocking whitehead at kicks, Manu's try, Wellens academy award dive. Very poor.

Be worse tomorrow with Bentham.

Indeed. The home 'advantage' sure has helped them tonight.

Yep. Nowhere near good enough. All season refs have been letting play continue and then go to the video ref to check. Suddenly Silverwood decides to make a decision and it's wrong. Not good enough from the touch judges either.

Very, very bad.

Silverwood has ruined this game from the moment of the first Catalan try which he said was a knock on, he is a disgrace and has handed Saints this game. Feel really sorry for Catalan. This is why our crowds are going down because a game can be decided on a call from a idiot like him.

Once again a try that should not have been because it should have been a penalty to Catalan!

There's another one, should have been a Catalan penalty for a strip instead Silverwood awards Sts the scrum and they score another 4 points

The problem is catalans are crap.

Every wrong call has resulted in saints tries because catalans have been so soft in defence.

in that one statement you've betrayed the fact that you've never played the game

Hmmmm. So the touch judge isn't blind after all, only when Jordan Turner is doing the obstructing though.

There have been some really poor decisions by the officials tonight, not surprisingly the majority against the French, but the outcome was never really in doubt.

At least the St’s can enjoy the heartbreak of another G.F defeat

.

I hope tomorrow’s game is a more even affair.

*Sigh*

Hopefully tomorrow's game is allowed to be more even by the officials.

I have no doubt whatsoever that had this game been in France the exact same incidents would have been refereed differently.

Now then, do we think the RFL didn't want Catalans to win due to the poor attendance at the GF if they did ??


.....well you were all thinking it

I can't wait to see Wellens' tears at Old Trafford again.

The RFL and tonight's officials need to hang their heads in shame.

Not sure when the outcome was decided but very little to do with the 2 teams on the field tonight.

Catalan deserve an apology

Obviously winning this match for us is equal from the impossible.

But we can all say that the referee is helping a lot St Helens, and they do not this to win. Classic RFL



This game could be cool to watch and unfortunaly, this is a shocker.
