Just in case you missed it a Saints player got a ban, guess that’s there one for the year

Napa, Dudson & Thuggy 9 all missing out for the Dragons then!

Surely they will appeal ..... what with their previous impeccable disciplinary record

It will be reduced to 0 games on appeal plus the RFL will issue another 10 special saints edition "appeal success cards" to the St Helens club for the inconvenience. Then they will ban Tom Lineham for 3 matches for no reason unless Holmes is to be out new official disciplinary panel whipping boy in which case it will be him that cops the ban.

Money is tight at the RFL these days so they have taken a very progressive action of disbanding the match review panel and brought in state of the art automation instead; https://www.thomasandanca.co.uk/star-bi ... eoQAvD_BwE

Quote ="The Speculator"A two-game ban for Faraimo is ludicrous. It shouldn't have even been a penalty, in my opinion. The HKR player dropped to the floor just as Faraimo came in, and he then appeared to make an air tackle rather than any real contact. Even if he had hit the HKR player, I don't think it would have been a high shot. I'm all for player protection, but there's a hint of the Witchsmeller Pursuivant about the disciplinary committee at present, and it's just a matter of time before Wire are on the wrong end of a similar crazy call.'"

I cannot remember ever seeing individual cases being discussed so openly.
