Are we sure this 7 set stuff is right? I know there were a couple of incidents in the game where Cas mis counted and ended up not kicking on the last, one in particular where Orr went mad at the ref and should have been sent off as I heard exactly what he said to him. It got to the point where Bentham was passing him messages through Hudson(?) rather than speak to him directly, waving away any attempt from Orr to discuss it. I know on those two sets the ref got the count right as I'm an avid set counter myself when it's tight like that.

What did he say that should've got him sent off then?

Was confirmed on the radio about half an hour after the game finished, Saints got 2 7 tackle sets (including the winning try coming on the 7th tackle) and Cas got 2 sets where they were 1 short.

saint's threw 4 tries away with sloppy handling.

Confirmed by who? Bloody shocking if true, Cas should formally complain.

I don't know where they got it from tbh but they were talking about the game and came out with "an interesting note just passed onto us....".

The RFL wouldn't do anything about it anyway, a few years back Adrian Lam scored the winning try on a 7th tackle against Wakefield and nothing came of it.

He used an f word rather directly, then a p word ending in k and linked it all beautifully with a couple of f words. It was quite funny as one of the noisy Saints fans behind us who spends the whole game balling at the ref stood up and shouted, "Go on Danny lad you tell him".

I think I used that same choice of words myself at the ref today too. I'm losing my rag totally with some refereeing this season. It's the inconsistency and total randomness that is annoying me. Cas penalised at the scrum, for what I could only imagine was breaking away too soon. I then sat and watched every scrum and Saints were always out as the ball went in. I predicted it at one scrum, and a stranger in front of me watched for it to happen and it did, he asked why we didn't get a penalty that time. I've no idea to be honest. Penalise one, penalise all. I understand refs make mistakes, miss things and even get them wrong now and again but when games are decided with inconsistant decisions it's not even funny any more. I'll admit it wasn't a James Child kind of performance (not saying he cost us on friday cos he didn't) but it sure is a poor one from Bentham.

Shame innit? The match was a good un tbh.

cracking effort from both teams today, also appalled at the referee as he is a complete goon.... i think we need more referees in the mold of Ganson, Hicks and unfortunately Silverdud as at least they all have the balls to stand by the decisions they make, be it right or wrong... my inlaws are wire fans and were appalled by ben thaler's performance in their defeat against hull fc... but they also said that wire were pathetic with their handling too!!!

The try was not scored on the seventh tackle as the ref wiped the tackle count clean.
