People think this is a sin binning offence? Lol
Arm wrapped around, player stood up with little rotation of shoulder as per refs view

I go a bit steady with the "young" Leeds team folks. I know what you mean but the average age of the starting backs and half backs last night is 30:

Richie Myler 32
David Fusitu'a 28
Nene MacDonald 28
Ash Handley 27
Derrell Olpherts 31
Blake Austin 32
Aidan Sezer 31

why is anyone defending hurrells red card? shoulder charge making contact with the head. Red card every single time

they must be drinking the Jon Wilkin koolaid
the fact Konnie threw a massive tantrum about it as well, like he'd done nothing wrong - pathetic

Just wanted to congratulate the new world champs. Well done Leeds.

I don't know what Peter Smith is watching sometimes with some of his scores.

Matt Shaw's are usually worse.

Correct Shabs. It wasn't high.
But it was a shoulder charge and should have been penalised, We got away with one there. But Saints got plenty of calls in the game.
Someone needs to speak to Welsby. He can't take the law into his own hands - and he has ultimately cost them the game.
Myler was whacked 3 times. All were, quite rightly, punished.
Did our players come flying up the pitch to start on the player? No.

Yep. Saints have built their unprecedented success by playing an extremely aggressive style of Rugby, often to the very edge of the law. Most times they stay within it, last night they didn't and were rightly punished. The game doesn't need creative players being clobbered off the ball, regardless of which team is doing it. Smith's strategy of going round rather than through, probably contributed to those late tackles. Credit to him.

I find it amusing that you were adamant that Welsby should have got a "clear red card" last week and then claim that isn't a shoulder charge.

Methinks someone is a little rattled by all the success Saints are having

Enjoy the win - well deserved. Hopefully Leeds can back it up as a lot of teams crumble the week after they've managed to go 80 with Saints.

Its almost as if it’s two different incidents and not comparable, I admitted i was wrong on the Welsby incident after rewatching it.

There is only one club rattled, look at the pathetic actions of your players and fans after the game.

I was more surprised by the players reaction than the fans. It was only a reg season game, not sure why someone like Percival was making a scene after the game.
Fans reaction was really poor too but small minority? You’ll obs no more as were at the game…..
