Harrison deliberately headed the ball, that didn't happen tonight, but Grix was in front of the kicker, so technically offside, and can't be inside the 10 even if a Saints player touches the ball.
SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy For 75 - 0 you get sod all.

Carvill last week, Grix this week, any forecast on a Harlequin player next week.
What we can't lose sight of in all this is that Wakefield thoroughly deserved their win. Brough marshalled the team around well and I thought Grix mas magnificent once he seemed to move infield. Christ, even Bibey looks like a RL player now*
*I may have gone over the top with that last line.

Could be wrong here,so apologies if i am.
Grix was in front of Obst when it was kicked,but when Grix picked up the ball Obst had already moved in front of him -- hasnt Obst then put everyone on side?

There is no way it doesn't touch his arms either. But I would have given it just to punish the stupidity of the Saints players. Grix wasn't the closest and two Saints players just stood there counting the blades of grass on the floor whilst he picked it up and scored. One of the cumb nunts even stepped over the ball to avoid kicking it.

It was just 1 of them lucky trys. It could have bounced anywhere.
