I love all this anti-saints stuff. It just goes to show that you all still fear them.

Might as well have named the thread "Everyone who is jealous of saints post here"

When has that ever stopped them

Mintball supports Saints?

She continues to go up in my estimations...

They were both at best 50:50 - had they been given Catalans way, I wouldnt have complained too heartily. Does the benefit of doubt to the attacking team not come into this?

Saints were in possession, the ball rattled round and both times a player from each team was holding onto the ball, it seems logical to play on with the attacking team in possession in that situation.

Anyway, on the second one Carlaw knocked on, so it should have been a scrum to Saints anyway.

I don't agree. I think Thaler's interpretation was pretty much spot-on. I have to fault him on his communication though - he don't call who had the ball and there was also the panalty against Baile where Thaler had called "play on" and then he penalised Baile for a "second" tackle.
I don't think the decisions would have changed the match result, as I think Saints wanted it more than we did and our game plan was not the right one to beat Saints at KR.
What it does change is 3 penalties on the stats that allows tim791 to spout the kind of nonsence he does.

UTTER TOSH load of Bollax
Saints and Leeds have won more Honours together than Wigan Fact

FACT

Read his post again. He says Saints OR Leeds. Not both combined.

Christ, since I first watching Wigan in 1989 we've won 29 trophies - and I don't know Rogues but I do know he has many more years than me watching Wigan, so he could easily have seen us win more than Saints OR Leeds ever have.

Overseas payments have helped.

Sounds like a good idea to me. Pity we didn't continue because Saints decided to copy the blueprint for success...
Long, Joynt, Sullivan. Wilkin, Aussies etc
