| Stood near the Meli Tackle last night, started off with a shoulder charge to the chest/shoulder area and ended up as a "big hit", there was no initial impact to the head, your man just got knocked out.
Can,t understand why the touch judge came on to be honest, it was a "ball and all tackle" small bloke against big bloke.

Seriously? You think that the officials should play on whilst a player is knocked out?

| For me Friday showed one of two things.
Either
1 Brett Hodgson is past it and Warrington have made a massive mistake in signing him.
or
2 He isn't trying very hard or is injured yet again.
I would go with one. Hodgson to blame for at least two tries and the ball steal was a disgraceful error. I just don't think he is up to a game every week any more.

I think the point he was trying to make was why the touch judge interfered and told the ref to give a penalty (FWIW The ref had a great view and didnt react at all untill he saw the man stay down). Stopping the game for a serious head injury is of course a given.

| I think you short be dissapointed. Saints were there for the taking.
We've got more than a few injuries and add to that we didn't have Graham - whom we have relied too much on, Roby - who's our top tackler and Eastmond - who's our biggest threat and only decent kicking game.
We had a very young side out and once wheeler got injured Flannery moved out to the centre meaning we were even lighter in the pack. You were unlucky to lose Crabtree so early into his stint, he may have made the difference. Mason was pretty good, but I though Griffin was fairly inaffective. Your number 23 did quite well though, who's that? Is he new?
What you had over us was a smarter kicking game, a little more imagination with your passing and a better wrestle when you were in defence (you 2nd marker was set a lot better than our throught).
We had Tony P, who you couldn't deal with. Clough as well worked brilliantly. They (along with the forwards) kept us in it and then all of a sudden we got the momentum going on about 70 mins.
The Meli tackle - I was on the pop side, so couldn't really see it. I remember that I did kind of feel the ref concluded "he's hurt - it must have been illegal", but I'm happy to be proved wrong. I thought he was a generally a bit whistle happy throughout.

| Looking forward to next week now. Should be a cracker. If you've got a few knocks I fancy us to take it. The way our forwards have played lately the last thing you want is an inexperienced pack. Our games have been brutal at times.

I thought Thaler blew his whistle immediately.

| My only quibble with Thaler was that he called 'held' a little early for Griff's 'try'. Neither Griff nor his tacklers were stationery until the big man grounded the ball.

| And a VR would have awarded it, as we know from past experience...

Nope. There had been another play before he blew. We were on the way to the tryline.
