Lees said saints are happy to lie on and give away 6 agains as they trust their defence. Get rid of this ridiculous rule and go back to penalising teams. If Huddersfield had got a penalty late on for all the holding down saints admit they were doing then they could've kicked it to even the score.

Yellow card is the answer. As soon as defending sides know that penalty goals won't be scored then penalties become irrelevant.

Was like watching Olympic wrestling (not a good thing). “The Entertainers” presumably an ironic tag these days?

It funny how you lot see the game because you were desperate for us to lose. What Lees said wasn't anything new, every team does that. Hull last week exploited it royally and stayed in a game they were never near simply by stopping any momentum Saints had by holding down. All teams do it when you get a referee as weak and out of their depth as Jack Smith.

If you look at the big calls in the game, they all went against Saints. The late shot on Lomax would be a penalty and a yellow card if one of our players did it. It was worse than the two yellow cards against Leeds. Yet they produce a green card to punish Lomax for having the audacity to get shouldered in the ribs off the ball. Then there was the run of about seven repeat sets Huddersfield got that resulted in the try that went to the video ref. None of those decisions were right and the knock on Smith pulled out in the set prior to the try just didn't exist, he just made it up. The try itself wasn't a try either, there was no part of his hand or arm in contact with the ball as it hits the floor. If you compare that to the Makinson one in the Leeds game, which wasn't given, you're left confused again. As with the four previous weeks, it's difficult to watch our games and not conclude we're being refereed differently to the other teams.

If you look at Twitter you've got Saints fans moaning about the inconsistent treatment we get, you've got Wigan, Leeds and Warrington fans calling us cheats and saying we get everything. Tellingly you've got genuine neutrals like Hull KR and Salford fans bemoaning the lack of consistency in the referees and expressing shock at some of the calls against us.

For all the 'they get everything' shouts, we went 30+ minutes without a single six again or penalty twice in that game. Smith chose not to require teams to be square at marker and he didn't play offsides, both of which benefitted Huddersfield massively. Yet Sky allow Phil Clark to call Saints cheats and try to influence the referees ahead of the derby in a couple of weeks. At best the officiating is a mess in Super League, but it'll never improve given the incompetent people they have in charge currently.

Have you heard what they let Wilkin say on Sky? The man becomes more ridiculous by the day, a bit like another Saints biased clown we know. If I were Myler I'd be telling him to wind his neck right in.

You have now hit full on deluded. Look at this forum, Our top line signing got 7 matches for saying something that only Charnley heard. We made less fuss than you do about not getting an 8 point try. True all teams lie on but eventually pay the price. Salford had a player binned against us for the team consistently delaying. We the same against Leigh. That’s consistency, your bunch of all in wrestlers SHOULD have had someone in the bin but didn’t! That is inconsistency. But who cares, your team are playing like rubbish at the moment and it’s nobody else’s fault but theirs.
No doubt we will play rubbish at some point in the season but judging by last season we will largely accept where the blame lies unlike you and your fellow whining conspiracy theorists.
Learn to be a bit more gracious and when you do have something to moan about we may be more sympathetic.

He's right though, Myler is a diver and stays down faking injuries. I appreciate Wilkin must be annoying as you hate Saints, much like Sky's football coverage with it's Liverpool bias is to me, but the content of what he says is correct. Clark was out of order last night but that doesn't annoy you as you also wanted Huddersfield to win. Wilkin gets backed into a corner at times. Kev Brown was the voice of reason last night, no anti-Saints bitterness like the rest of them. Maybe neutral pundits is the way to go in future?

Re: TV games (not Wire) : Fri Mar 24, 2023 11:16 am  

Did I say Clarke didn't annoy me? Nope. You're now making things up to suit your argument - an argument based on bias of which you are clearly showing HUGE degrees of. You need a lie down.
