Not a great night! : Sat Jul 18, 2009 5:59 am  

I just think Kear is a very clever coach. He knew his team had to slow the game down otherwise they would've been burnt. We saw that with Brough kicking it dead so they could set up on the 20m! I personally hate the tactic but it seems to work against Saints, particularly in wet weather. Fair play to Wakefield. They should've won lastweek and got it this week instead.

On a different note... I'm sorry but that referee?? I'm not even talking about decisions against Saints either... Some of the ones against Wakefield 2nit, I thought 'How the f*ck has he come to that decision?' Some of the contact around the head from both teams was disgraceful! This guy needs sending back to France quick otherwise I can see some players suing him for a 'duty of care' breach!

Shocking decisions at times both ways, he makes it up and needs to sod off back home. Spoils the game every time.
