Simply-

Get used to it!

Onwards and upwards for Wigan!

Just want to say fair play to the saints fans, most of them stayed to applaud their team and not many left when Farrell got the try at the end.

Nice to get one over them at last

Aye, but it took a forward pass to do it! AND we had half our u20s on the park!

Surely the GF wasnt that long ago ?...



Sour grapes ?

Would have took a point - not that dissapointed in all honesty - had a sneaky feeling you'd score the winner and called it when we went 24-22 up.

The ridiculous penalty that gave you the goal that you thought had won it for you cancelled out our forward pass.

What goes around does sometimes come around. Even for you lot.

Aswell as the knock on that was given when the ball hit Deacon flat in the face. In which they scored off.

Out of interest why do you feel it was a rediculous penalty?

And the knock on by Deacons nose, and the high shot on the shoulder that they got a penalty and I think ended up scoring from (disclaimer:I may be completely wrong and haven't seen them again yet

).

In all honesty Saints should have run the ball here - Wigan on the back foot and looking out of it - didn't take full advantage of the favourable decision.

But yeh I think Silverwood had a great game tbh - let the game flow, ignored any whingeing or moaning from the players and both sides responded by playing good rugby league.

As for forward passes it's not very often I agree with Stevo however he hit the nail on the head with his comments. They are becoming a regular occurance that for some reason are being blatantly ignored by linesmen and referees.

Seem to remember Saints equalising try at Cardiff was a mile forward .... that cost us on that occassion !

Too many many missed forward passes in SL, however, at least todays call balances out the poor call at Cardiff.

You lost ... you'll get over it in time .... trust me I talk with experience

Sure are - but why?

and what do linesmen actually do? Are they not capable of spotting a forward pass? Years ago there'd be one or two forward passes missed a season - these days there's two or three a game. The game is no quicker than it was in the 90's pre super league so there's a no excuse.

We can rattle on all day about what missed forward cancels out which however I'd much rather see a team score legally than a team benefiting from a pass that was a miles forward. It makes the game look amatureish in all honesty.

You had 2 that were further forward, but the two clowns on SKY missed them and so did you apparently.

You mean the penalty that was given on the basis of...

a) 2 on 1 strip?
b) Carmont standing in offside position when receiving the ball from aforementioned strip?

Yeah, quite ridiculous.

Stevenson and Hemmings are very selective on who they comment about with forward passes. they are hypocrites.

As per usual Saints had 2 today, but they never mentioned those. They didn't shut up for 5 minutes with the J Tomkins marginal forward pass.

I have noticed that as with the match the other night, Leeds got away with forward passes and score and so did Saints today.

The two clowns that are the SKY commentators saw nothing.

Nah. Badly judged offload - be fair, you got away with two or three of those today - Wiganer took possession. Bad call by ref. Justice done in end. No worries.

Sour grapes. We have beaten you with a team of kids in the past.

Had the ref in your pocket all game.


Get used to it.

Credit to saints fans, even rads said so after the game in the SS bar.

Stains have won numerous finals from forward passes (Hudds CC Final anyone)? plus other dodgy decisions - Joynt voluntary tackle.

Ave it!!!

Why ... because teams play flat attacking lines which makes forward passes much more likely

I agree about a preference about legal tries winning games but I live in a world of reality and accept calls do tend to even themselves out during a season, hence the reference to the Saints Cardiff try .... some Saints fans really do need to wake up and understand these calls go both ways in sport!

Last time that happened Robinson, brown et al beat you.

Hope you have a good prop in the U20's to replace Grahams iminent departure or do you know someone who wants to move to Widnes?
