loudest it got at saints was when the stains were moaning for a penalty, never shut up - its hardly supporting your team booing and whistling

It's better than booing our own players though, eh?

The amount of times leeds were offside was shocking too

Leeds were doing a lot of lying on as well, thought they played a hybrid game like trying to form a ruck or something.

The play the balls have been slower in all games this year, potter has made reference to it. Its more like an NRL interpretation of the rules

No, I mean it's forward bordering on borderline.

surely though it must be a fine line between forward bordering on borderline and flat bordering on borderline forward. The margins between borderline and forward bordering on borderline must be incredibly hard for officials to spot. Only when its forward bordering on ridiculous do you normally (though not always) get a decision!

Half of the shuts for FORWARD were perfectly fine passes aswell.

Id like to know how people 20 metres off the line of the pass can shout for forward.

FFS

Exactly thats what annoys me with it all, unless its a blatent one unless you are stood online with the pass you can't tell properly if its forward but it doesn't stop people shouting it.

If it looks 50/50 then people are always going to appeal for the decision, regardless of were they are stood.

On friday there was a pass directly in front of me which was called as forward by the crowd and no way was it forward, ok it was pretty flat but there was no 50/50 there at all - people just seem to jump on the bandwagon with shouting that and offside at every possible opportunity.

From a certain angle in the crowd it might have looked forward, so they are entitled to appeal if it looks forward from were they are stood.

I'd say most of the forward shouts came from our fans in the last 10 minutes
