How has Walmsley got away with a shoulder charge and running in and escalating the situation with Tetevano. I’d be wanting answers if I was GH and the club.

The lack of action taken against any of the St Helens players from this game is laughable.

He's no great loss if we lose him for one more game so I'd like Leeds to appeal the Bodene Thompson one. Partly to see if they've fixed up the joke of an appeals process and partly so they get an explanation as to what a wrong-footed player is supposed to do in that situation.

I'm utterly utterly fed up with it.

2 jokes here

1. Thompsons was not a deliberate trip so sin binning should be sufficient

2. If Newman's was bad enough for 2 match ban then the joke of a ref should have sent him off ( Grant ruling out a try for H.K.R. yesterday showed why he should be no where near a Rugby League game )

If your referring to the “shoulder charge” in the first half then a) it was Lees (even though yes, Blake Austin was saying Walmsley should be sent off) and b) the only shoulder was from Tetevano who went for the big hit and got sat on his backside. It was neither a shoulder charge nor high from Lees (though funny as anything). It wasn’t even a penalty but the ref had backed himself into a corner waiting for the video ref to confirm there was no head contact.

And “escalating” the head high off the ball shoulder charge? Really? Walmsley pushed him off Hurrell, it’s Bentley who turned it into a fight.

On 2. Yes, he absolutely should have. But that doesn’t go with the narrative Leeds got nothing from the ref …

100%
the only saints player cited is Sironen, and he's left off with a late hit on the passer because there's not enough footage? from a televised game?
this season's become an absolute farce

Think Thompson's probably the unluckiest. I've zero problem with the other two. Havent rewatched walmsleys alleged indiscretions but didn't see owt too amiss at the time.

What a load of crap. Lees and Walmsley both lead with the shoulder and none attempted to wrap their arms around the player. You don’t have to make contact with the head for it to be a shoulder charge, hence why it was a Leeds penalty.

I’m not normally one for referee or RFL bashing, but both are having an absolute mare regarding that farce of a game on Thursday.

Re: 2022 | Injuries & Suspensions : Mon Jun 27, 2022 4:58 pm  

The RFL are clearly throwing the book at Leeds and we can't complain about it. Our record is atrocious this year and we deserve everything we get.
