Quite right Mick and ordinarily you know me but this was a shocker.Ratchford is murder for this too. When he spilled the ball in a tackle by Percival a scrum was awarded to Saints. Ratchford stayed down holding his head long enough for the VR to intervene (which apparently they can do when the game is stopped) and award a penalty to Wire for a high tackle, which was, if at all, the slightest of high tackles whatsoever.OJ wrote:On top of all that Daryl Clarke should get an academy award for his acting - last 3 wire games I've seen he's been a real conman and doesn't need to be as he's a decent enough player without the continual attempts to get penalties

As soon as the penalty was awarded Ratchford jumped up with a miracle of a recovery.
Saints lose an attacking scrum in Wires 20, Wire are piggy backed up to Saints 40.
Some people will call this clever or gamesmanship by Ratchford, but this is not the Rugby League I grew up with or how I believe it should be played.
Why should Ratchford have to downplay the effect on him of a high tackle? Can't see how this is play acting.The booze hound wrote:Ratchford is murder for this too.
