GAME ON : Catalan Dragons v St. Helens - 17:15:00

GENERAL CHAT ABOUT THE GAME, BUILD UP, THE ACTION AS IT HAPPENS AND AFTERMATH BELOW.

Ive got no problem with the no try but surely that was a penalty to Catalan for an off the ball high tackle?

Can't believe we now have diving in RL. What an embarrassment.

A really enjoyable game.


Would have a huge amount of respect for the man in the middle if he sent Bird off though. Absolute jeb end in everything he does. Unpleasant person off the field too.

Catalans are the grubbiest set of housers in SL.

Catalans are the form team of the competition, if it wasn’t for their dreadful injury ravaged start to the year they’d likely win the double this year.

Dreadful start + good finish = average league campaign.

Who is this ref? He’s pretty awful.

Getting saints back in the game with Percival's forward pass for try and a saints knock on given as a Catalans knock on

Never a knock on by micky mac, then a forward pass for the try

Catalan have been robbed

Dunno but based on this performance he must be from St Helens.

He's done everything he can to get them the win.

Not surprised the Catalans players are furious.

Did they sign him from the NFL?

Video ref was for catalans so evened it up.

If ever a ref handed a game to a team it was tonight. A truly awful run of decisions.

i thought birds swan dive was embarrassing in the first half, but liam moore takes that honour! totally out of his depth, 3 tries from foward passes, a VR decision that shouldnt have even been considered

catalan robbed of a win tonight

As a Saints fan i will say this, the ref needs to be taught how to spot forward passes.

I think 3 Saints tries would have been disallowed by other refs.

I also think Les Cats got away with a number of dodgy passes as well.

On the other side i thought the Lees no try was a mistake. He never moved his ball playing arm forward he merely wriggled with his left arm. That therefore is not double movement.

On the positive side Saints should now win a piece of silver this year. However i think its all we will win.

Awful referee , out of his depth . His touch judges were a waste of space too

Maybe they should change the refereeing sponsors from specsavers to Asian Betting Syndicates

Yes I think you're quite right to also mention touch judges. Refs have a tough job and if they're not getting any calls on forward passes from the guys on the side then they're up against it even more. Having said that, there's no way for us to know if the refs are actually getting calls from the side and yet they're choosing to ignore it because they think they had a better view.

Form team who've won one in the last five. Right form team that.

He's not pretty but he's most certainly awful.

Jebus that was a horrible watch for a neutral
I'm just not warming to Catalans bear pit rugby, it might have dragged them out the bottom 4 but that was complete garbage.

gotta laugh at the boo hoo at the end though..lol

Well done Saints, worthy winners.

Sadly he is from Wigan
