Nothing to do with the referee south Sydney are a class above st Helens unfortunately

From Brisbane vs Wigan thread:



Spot on. But it is sadly so.

Seems/seemed that way. Wih the scoreline as it is now though he'll probably be a bit more even 2nd half as the result looks to be gone.

Silverwood was awful in 2010 when he reffed the WCC for Leeds vs Melbourne and the bad blood/relationship between him and Leeds players (Senior in particular) seemed to linger on for another 2 years before it settled down.

It's clear as day that the English refs get intimidated/nervous about penalising the Aussies like they would do if the offences happened the other way around. Can anybody really say with conviction that the penalties given against Bateman and Tomkins last night would've been given if Brisbane were the team defending???

This. I expected Souths to win convincingly, but take no pleasure in seeing it come true. Don't really have a prob with the disallowed, tries, though.

It's not all bad.
Bunnies might take their foot off the gas now it's game over.

Didn't see it first time but it was Percivals own arm that got under the ball, despite the good woork by issac luke

I blame Thaler, Child,Bentham & Silverwood for not scoring against the Rabbitohs. That's the only reason Saints are behind.

It is a bit like GB versus AUS. The forwards are holding their own, but the backs are just a class apart.

Let's hope Souths switch off a bit now they've got it won, and saints scrape a couple of consolations to keep the scoreline respectable.

It's like watching us v saints last week. Embarrassing. Nothing to do with ref
Hopefully saints will pick themselves up and make a fight of it in the second half

Why should it, they will not come across a team this good for at least another year. Any SL game he scores both tries. The top NRL sides are just on a different planet

Not saying Souths don't deserve to be in lead. Been better side.

12-0.

OK Clarke.

'Accurate kicks like that from James Roby' says daft ass Clarke, as it sails down Inglis's throat...........

Souths are good enough without making schoolboy errors all the time.

Reckless tackle by Turner.

I Assume he is probably alluding to the 2 Percival efforts that should have been tries and the lucky last try so should be about a 12 point gap.

If so, i'd agree

Eddie fighting back lol

Nonsense. Good effort to clamp the ball and all. Just one of those things which happens in a collision game. He doesn't look well though.

LOL nothing like getting the bounce of the ball again, good kick that put Saints under pressure but Saints can't catch a break.

I'm starting to get flashbacks to 1982

Thats another poor try to concede in a game like this

Slightly reckless but brave none the less. Unlike the expert second man flopper that is Jon Wilkin.

Super league will be asking the NRL to send Cronulla over next season!

It's the kicking games of the Aussies that have been the big difference throughhout the 3 games that have been head and shoulders.

Example right there.

Please take the kicking duties off Jon Wilkin and give it to someone with a clue
