Pretty much every decision in the last 10 minutes went to Saints. Saints player gets up to play the ball but throws a punch instead, creating a melee, pen to Saints. Saints lose the ball in front of the posts, there's a hand in from Hudds like there is in 95% of plays, zero ball security from Saints, pen to Saints.

When is a drop goal not a drop goal?? : Sun Apr 06, 2014 3:14 pm  

Utterly digraceful decision by Bent'ham, how the feck can he say with absolute clarity that that is not a successful kick? From behind that is clearly between the posts, takes all of 20 seconds to see that it is.

Another disgusting match changing decision by the officials..again..and people wonder why fans are turning away from the sport!!!

As a neutral I was disgusted. He robbed Huddersfield. I can't see the point in watching or playing a game where refs have such influence over the running and result of a match. The Ferres sending off (which I agreed with) came off the back of a series of penalties against Huddersfield - at least one of which was completely wrong. So that was down to the ref too. He should be dropped until the end of the season.

Happy to overlook the blatant forward pass in the lead up to Hudds 2nd try?

Or the forward pass to Saints first.

I have no problems with mistakes being made i have a problem with a ref who uses the VR constantly looking at poiints being scored and then does not when he should have done.

What about the penalty to Jones when he pushed McGilvray. A penalty to Huddresfield maybe to Saints no way ( and that started the passage of play where they had 5 penalties and then Ferres sent off)

Could he also cop a ban for going ballistic to all and sundry? I'm going to assume he was aiming at the officials

Re: phil bentham : Sun Apr 06, 2014 3:14 pm  

On one amera it looks to sneak inside the post, the other it looks like it drifted wide.

It was pure 50/50.

Re: phil bentham : Sun Apr 06, 2014 3:15 pm  

Ferres is the man to blame.

On the kick, looked good on one angle, looked like it slid by on the other. Ref can only give what he sees. Pretty sure the tech wizards at Sky could conclusively prove that either way.

They have been robbed there.

Posted the same on the hudds board, really hard to tell, unless you are with right above it or right under it
