| Am i the only person that doesn't think the catalan try was fabulous? It was very dramatic and exciting but it was a scrappy affair. Lots of better tries scored over the weekend.

| II think Trinity could win no try of the month with Mellars disallowed try against the Bull's.

It was great probably mostly because it was a scrappy affair - Catalan were desperate to score - the ball was all over the place via a kick, desperate offloads, a miss-kick and a flick pass, and yet Catalan managed to keep it legally alive and finish with nice hands and a good sidestep.
No, the try itself wasn't fabulous from a textbook rugby point of view, but place it in context and it was a wonderful moment.

| Quote J O N N Y="J O N N Y"basically he kicked the ball on the 5th tackle, it hit Danny McGuire square on the head, spooned up in to the arms of the chasing Widnes player, who passed the ball back to Hanbury running through a gap in the rather bemused Leeds defence and scored.'"
 Ah yes, the Rugby Gods with a gentle reminder to that cheeky young scamp Daniel just to watch his step and remember who runs things around here.

Isn't sport meant to be dramatic and exciting?
They created a last second, match-winner through grit, determination, flair and yes, a bit of luck, although you know what they say about luck?
It was a spectacular try - miserable buggers.

indeed - exciting try due to the time it was scored and the impact on the result, but fairly scrappy in quality.

At the risk of being accused of sour grapes, the opportunity for the try should never have been offered in the first place. Aside from Saints dire defensive performance in the final 20, on the set before that try was scored, Pryce hit the floor with his ball carrying arm with our defenders on him. We were not awarded the penalty as it was missed by the ref (but is very clear on Sky). Had the ref seen that - and I think he must have been blind to miss it - then we would have been up the other end of the pitch attacking during those last two minutes.
So while it was an exciting end, it was a fortuitous one for the Dragons, care of Mr Child.

No, Warrington fan and i was made up with the try, not saying it was a bad try but there are people calling it one of the best tries of superleague ever. The ball was dropped, mis-kicked and a real scramble it was finished well, an exciting try and significant but there were many better executed tries with more aestically pleasing play scored his weekend.

Sour grapes
Saints got away with a few as well, despite what your coach would try to have us believe.

| Even if correct, you can't call one missed penalty as causing a change in result - no matter when it occurred in the game. If I were Simmons I'd be more worried about why the score was so close in the first place.
