Quick Qn, is anyone else's Sky coverage stuttering in terms of the video feed?

Seems fine here apart from the vomit inducing fawning over the new stadium by Sky.

It's HD that's the problem, normal Sky is fine.

And I agree about the comments about the ground, it looks a fairly basic place to me.

mods, lock if you like, thanks.

Salford running away with it! Eddie sounds a bit worried.

Saints getting lucky with some VR calls.

Not much point having Video Replay when it's Ian Smith making the decisions.

The Saints player is held on his back with his upper ball carrying arm laid on the ground, then he manages to turn and ground the ball. Smith's decision? TRY 'Benefit of the Doubt' !

Benefit to the Home team more like it.

Salford unrecognisable from last week's shambles against Wakefield but no doubt Saints will run away with the game in the second half.

Yeah, it seems like it was a completely different side that played Wakefield......infact, I'd go as far as to call them Widnes

Mines fine.

WTF are saints doing, Big forwards who cant catch and keep dropping the ball and players taking wrong options, its like watching Hull for the past 3 seasons



By the way i have saints in an accumilator and i happen to be the worst gambler on the planet, i know its wrong to bet against your own team but i backed Catalans too



Sorry !!

So by reasoning we are def going to win

It's all over. The margin meter has spoken.

It's the dunce's cap for me Panda 92

the single most idiotic invention ever, well, after caffeine free coffee!

Has Ian Smith been paid off?

"Top 4 Refereeing"

Don't you just love it.

it's pathetic, may as well just skip to L**ds v Saint in the GF and not bother with the season.

Some shocking decisions from all officials involved

Ithink Ian Smith and Silverwood could win this game by themselves................ If Stains can keep them fir they could easily win this comp

Personally, I'm not a fan.

If salford had some decent forwards they'd have ran away with this

It's the subtleties they get away with. Just before the 40/20 at the ptb Saints markers were everywhere except square thanks to a good break through the line by Salford. The ref ignored it.

"Top 4 Refereeing" is at its best when it ignores situations that don't benefit the big guns. As ever with refereeing it's the decisions that aren't given against the "BIG" team that have far more influence than those that are. Especially when the same offences are pinged the other way.

I think you are Mr B. We have been having the exact same discussion here. What's the penalty count - 7-2?

I paricularly liked the VR freeze frame of not one, but two, Saints players using Ashley Gibson's head as a lever to prevent him scoring a try, followed by a 'no try - third tackle attack' decision.

Absolutely spot on mate. Some are worse at it than others - and Silverwood is one of the worst - but just about all the refs do it to some extent. Only to be expected considering who's in charge, mind.

Question ???

What is more pointless and Clueless ??????

The Margin Meter or Stevo


I think im saying its the margin meter and i never thought it was possible to be more clueless and pointless than Stevo

Sussed



Seriously Hull didn't get a penalty for half an hour after we went in front on Sunday. Saints are a better team than Salford and deserve to beat them. It doesn't alter the fact that the refereeing bias is in their favour.
