Paul Wellens' view on major referee calls after St Helens' defeat to Leeds Rhinos

Paul Wellens has said he will seek clarity from the match official department following the controversial decision involving Jack Welsby and Sam Walters. One of the game's major flash points was the decision to penalise the St Helens star for running in after an alleged shoulder charge by the Leeds forward.

The penalty instead went Leeds' way and the Rhinos went on to win the game with a Blake Austin drop goal 14 seconds from time. St Helens would have had a penalty from a central position 40 metres out if it had gone the other way.

Wellens was complimentary of the Rhinos after the match but said he would be asking questions about the incident in the coming days.
