Cheap shot? Wow. If you are incapable of posting without blinkers on then why bother? You are just making yourself look silly here.

It looked like a cheap shot on the rewind I had to do, because Sky didn't show it again. If it wasn't I apologise for getting that wrong. We still no dirtier than any other team though.

I rewound the live coverage to try to see what happened, because I saw Escare with a bloody nose, it looked like Masoe had caught him as he ran past late and off the ball. I guess you don't always see everything as clearly on TV as you do at the game. Apologies for that if he did run into his back, it looked bad what little of Sky showed of it. I'm just fed up with the nonsense about us being labelled thugs. Flowers was the only red card last season, our disciplinary record is on a par with everybody else.

I get the frustration to be fair, in an already stop start game it was incredibly frustrating for a Catalans player to go down every 30 seconds (usually after doing something they shouldn't have). I think escare hit Masoes arm/ elbow which is how he injured himself. I'll put it this way, if Masoe went down, Escare would of been penalised for tackling him off the ball

As I'm sure most of our fans will testify to, Masoe is more teddy bear than enforcer (unfortunately), and we have plenty of other players I'm sure opposition fans can get up in arms about (namely Burns and Wilkin)

(though that award goes to the decision not to penalise Leeds for the most obvious obstruction ever)

I caught one quick glimpse of that on SSN news last night and on that view alone it looked like possibly the worst decision I've ever seen! I was hoping my eyes had maybe deceived me!

Hopefully not a sign that the refs have now lost the plot the other way on the obstruction rule.

Have to say, more based on what I saw of him for the Roosters rather than Saints, I always thought of Masoe as one of those, .like E. Crabtree and T Williams, who didn't really take advantage enough of their weight.

Unfortunately it doesn't make up for the "obstructions" wrongly given against us in 2013

And at 50:18 there's pressure on O'Loughlin's knee which leaves him limping.
