I would like to put on record what an excellent tackle MCB made on the flying St Helens winger, to not only hit him into touch but also drop the ball.
We do need to sort out our edge defence which as been a problem for most of the season.

Very rare i feel upset after a match due to bad decision
Things go for and against both sides all the time and it evens it's self out

Tonight we should have had a penalty try for batch
And then the sts double movement

In both cases no use of the video ref which would have given us a positive outcome in both cases
It's normally used to death as well

Very much enjoyed the game other than that

This is precisely how i feel this morning,Only other thing i would add is we have got to be more smarter game plan wise we were 6 ahead on there line and should have past it back to miller for a drop goal making saints having to score twice, Gale,Tomkins,Rachford,Snyde would have all demanded that pass, Apart from that i was very proud of them all to cope with them awful decisions against us.

2 absolute howlers from Child (again) and both are beyond doubt, although it was laughable from Cummings on Sky, saying that we dont know if Batch would have scored and it should have only been a penalty

If Cummings is serious then the penalty try should be taken out of the rule book because you can never know for certain that a try would have been scored under any circumstances. What I will say though is that in fifty odd years of watching the game I’ve never seen a situation where a try was more likely to have been scored than Batch’s effort last night. Shocking decision imo and with the double movement decision you have to ask - is Child bent or just incompetent?

He certainly seems to have a dislike of Trinity when younlook at the number of games he has been in charge and the number of wins we have had.

In the State of Origin game the commentary team were making the same point, you can never say that he would score 100% there is always the chance of a knock on . But the decision in the Origin game was correct they gave the penalty try. I give up on the SKY commentary team that was an 80min Saints love in .

I had been a criticl of jowitt but in his last game i saw potential, but hampshires performance last night was tremendous, he completly outshone one of the best fullbacks in the world.Fielded every kick that came his way was outstanding positional sence top class ,support play particulary for his try and all round display was great maybe hes just shown what his best poition is

Not really taking into account how poor we have been over the years
