Anybody know why we had a try chalked off when it was 18-0? Think it was Ratu who got it down. Pivotal time of the game & a big call from a referee who never usually has the bottle to make a decision.

Not a clue, I didnt see anything. I'd assume it was for either obstruction or pulling back or pushing a player.

We did come out on the wrong end of the 50/50 calls. That's taking nothing away from Saints who were great in both attack and defence. I don't even blame the ref, it's the different rule structure for different games that's the problem.

That's the problem without the video ref, we don't get to see it again. I'm not doubting that we foul played, because the officials must have seen something to disallow it, but with the technology available to us today, it's just so amateurish that it's not used for non TV games.

On the officiating I thought it was poor to be honest. The amount of times we were attacking in the St’s 10 to be then penalised for what seemed anything Kendal could think off. He ignored St’s time & again offside, markers not square, Percival in front of the Lomax/fages a number of times when the kicked and blatant knock on in the build up to a try. Thought he harshly penalised for minor stuff yet St’s free to exploit same stuff. Thought the officials as a group were poor. If Kendal is the future the game is in trouble and about time Ganson was given the boot as the standard is not getting better. That said it’s not the reason we lost as were just so poop and purveyors of our own downfall in the main but the officials were poor.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

Our home form has been mediocre for years. Even in 2016 we struggled to be consistent at the KCOM. Our last good return at home was in 2012 when we we went W10 D2 L1. Since then we've won 50 drawn 1 and lost 42.
I've no idea what the answer is but it needs fixing.

No doubt saints are the best team in the league, but every time I’ve seen them this season , they seem to be playing to a different set of rules to the opposition and the ref helps them . Saints are good enough without a leg up from the ref

Thats the simple option rather than replacing Radford with an Aussie coach that would bring more ideas and freshen the place up. The coaching side of the club is stagnant
