Tonights games

Really hope Les Cats sneak into the top six and not just because I had a cock and hen @ 14/1 on them at the beginning of the season.

HKR are going to have to shape up against Leeds. Looking a bit phoney v Leeds.

Leigh v Wigan in the semi final?

Now that’d be a game

I note the ref in the saints v Leigh game is his usual self

[medlocke]

I see Welsby has made a miraculous recovery again, cheating barsteward

[fozzie58]

The yellow handed out was nonsense but it got saints back in the game so all is good

[fozzie58]

Bias shown by Tomkins & Wilkin. Wilkin as an ex Sts player & Tomkins, as a Catalan player, if Sts lose Catalans won’t get in the top six!

St Helens hard done by as Tomkins and Wilkin in disagreement with match officials

It was one of several major talking points in the game!

Sky Sports pundits Sam Tomkins and Jon Wilkin felt St Helens were hard done by after having a try disallowed in their game with Leigh Leopards. Tommy Makinson thought he had opened the scoring for Saints after racing home to the corner in a high-octane clash at LSV.

However, the try was disallowed upon review from the video referee, with Ben Thaler deciding that Lachlan Lam had been impeded by Sione Mata'utia in the buildup. The incident had gone upstairs as a try, but it was determined that there was sufficient evidence to overturn the on-field decision.

However, both Tomkins and Wilkin disagreed, with neither believing the try should have been ruled out.

"I thought it was a try," Tomkins said at half-time. "Lachlan Lam knows exactly what he's doing there, he knows if he gets bumped, it's going to get scratched. Not in a million years he is affecting that, he'd have scored anyway

"It raises the question about the tightness of defenders, he intentionally stars that to manipulate that situation. It's smart from him and uses the rules in his favour, start tight, run into somebody, penalty, no try."

Leigh would go on to establish a 12-0 lead after that, with John Asiata and Ricky Leutele scoring tries before half-time.
