what there needs to be is rules that mean we dont get 50 penalties a game, but where whenever a rule is broken it is punished


What a load of rubbish. Rules in any sport provide the boundaries which winners push at.

Thought this was a thread on the ref..not a "our forrads are better then thine" thread, For what its worth i thought he had a good game and is one of the better referee's, it could have been worse terry halle berry could have been in charge :P

no i mean when he ran sideways to get to graham, he targetted him and ran at him, he did that when Graham was spoiling for a fight and he did it legally and fairly

Saints pack won it for them, but i would still say Bailey was the best forward on the field, had Peacock, Kylie, Burgess, Ablett, etc showed up at even 80% of what Bailey did Leeds would have won, but they didnt they were dominated by the saints pack



Yes i agree with you he was the best forward by a mile :CRAZY:

I didn't agree either.

Bailey is getting a lot like Morley was a few years ago. Getting renowned more for trying to cause trouble and having petty squabbles than keeping his mind on the game and doing anything constructive.

Don't get me wrong I think Morley is a lot better player than Bailey is or will be but it reminds me of the same thing happening again. Thankfully Morley has now settled down again and is playing the game hard but fair. Let's hope Bailey does the same or he will come a cropper soon enough as he isn't in the same league as Morley when it comes to hardness.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.

For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.

Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row

really? i cant agree, i thought he was pretty poor to be honest

people will say that he has let it flow but refs should penalise penalties otherwise the game becomes a lottery, and i think that he let far too much go tonight you can see that in the frustration of both sets of players

i think the powers that be need to look at the ptb, its a mess at the moment

i dont know if we can blame the refs for this because it seems to happen every game now, there doesnt seem to be a consistant approach for it to be refereed, he has let plenty go but punished lesser offences which (whilst im not saying it has happened in this case because Saints have been the better team) can mean the game isnt won by the best team

at the moment that part of the game is almost universally poorly refereed,

saying that he reffed it well during a hot few minutes but he let some pretty poor stuff go


The biggest problem at the play the ball is that they don't.

The majority of players now don't play the ball with their foot. We are obsessed with quick play the balls and dummy half scoots.

The real hooker craftsmen are being lost to the game, players who could open up a defence with a great pass, and being replaced by the Highams and Robys of this world.

Make the players play the ball correctly or penalise them until they do.

probably, he was poor again,

has had a poor start to the season, he is clearly tired

i would be happy to see him rested for a month or so, we are that much better than almost all other teams bar saints it wouldnt make that much difference,


Who's going to do the tackling?
