| Quote ComeOnYouUll="ComeOnYouUll"As I say it's unfortunate but the laws of the game were applied. The referee wasn't at liberty to stop the game. I've read some people say Fages should've taken a voluntary tackle, but what then? Hull take a tap penalty and hand the ball over? Or does the ref just ignore the offence and allow Fages to play the ball? We can't have laws just made up on the hoof. Same as the idea that Saints should've let Hull walk a try in. Nice thought but would make the game a bit of a farce.
The main thing is that Josh Griffin makes a full recovery as quickly as possible. Thankfully it wasn't a late match winning try.'"
Fully agree. Game is only stopped when the players welfare is at immediate risk, ie) knocked out. Griffin clearly got a bad injury, but stopping the game wasn't necessary to assist that player. Was an 8 month injury either way......

| No rules where broken. Suppose it comes down to sports manship. Player badly injured another player takes advantage.

This is the way it is in RL. Same as opposition players running at an injured man.
Tough, tough game.....

Griffin snapped his achilles, that was completely obvious. 6-8 months....

| Gutted about the result but super proud of the fightback. Amazing to be back in a stand of B&W's going berserk. So close to taking the lead ay 18-21 but got to say Saints better team overall. On to Cas we go, great to be getting back to games again.

| I wonder if Wilkin has ever ruptured his Achilles whilst taking the ball in?
Glad Kevin Brown said he did the same thing as Griffin. That said, if Wilkin was made of chocolate, he’d eat himself.

| Quote Riderofthepalehorse="Riderofthepalehorse"I’ve not watched it back, but on the Griffin incident, it seemed obvious he was incapacitated, and the time lapse for the Frenchman sneakily scoring felt like slow motion, was it just my imagination, or could the referee have stopped the game immediately for our players welfare.'"
Sorry Rider you play to the whistle
Griffin didnt lose the ball he threw it away
If this incident had been the other way round we as Hull fans would all be saying the Hull player was correct in picking up the loose ball and scoring the try.

I think the only way anyone could criticise Josh Griffin for the incident is if they themselves have held on to the ball after rupturing an achilles tendon whilst in possession during a game of rugby league.

| Quote Fields of Fire="Fields of Fire"Not saying any laws were broken its about the spirt of the game when a player goes down clearly in agony and Fages plays on.'"
The problem with applying spirit of the game is that we could end up like football with players rolling all over the pitch in agony to stop the game and give the team a rest especially if defending only to get up again and start playing as though nothing happened.

| Players have always called for referees to stop play when someone is (badly) injured.
