The ref and touch judges were poor.

They lost control of the match and allowed it to turn into a free for all on more than one occasion.

The ref also lost count of tackles in first half which resulted in Leeds not knowing it was last tackle. From the resulting turnover Saints scored.
Sinfield spent the next five minutes in the refs face holding 4 fingers up to indicate only 4th tackle rather than 5th.

The touch judges missed numerous forward passes. Particularly from Leeds who played a very flat passing game.

A chicken Wing tackle was also missed on Gary Wheeler in the second half.

Give over man. Flannery was MoM.

i actually dont think he was Saints best Player, Pryce was very good i would have said he was MoM,

even though for large parts he wasnt involved, he was involved in most of what Saints did well, especially towards the end of the first half which was a very important part of the game,

Without Bailey we wouldnt have been close, he was the only forward to show up for Leeds

I think you were watching a different game to me.

probably, he was poor again,

has had a poor start to the season, he is clearly tired

i would be happy to see him rested for a month or so, we are that much better than almost all other teams bar saints it wouldnt make that much difference,

As I intimated elsewhere, if those two teams were reffed to the same standards as "lesser" clubs, their would be scores of sinbinnings tonight

Yes as usual. If it wasn't for rules and regulations Huddersfield would have won the league after they'd secured us the Ashes. Blah, blah blah.

Hardly what I meant and you know it, but the penalty count tonight would have been astronomical if two other clubs were involved

Besides, Huddersfield arent a "Lesser" club

What a load of tosh!

Replace Leeds with Saints at the various points in your post and guess what
it's exactly the same as you claim happened.

Take the blinkers off!
