The Newman incident was pretty much the last play of the game.

It was only a slap after their player had started wrestling with L Briscoe.

Cheers will have a look. Just watched the Oledzki one again. No conclusive proof there of any shoulder to head contact.

I must be missing something. Right at the end Briscoe is pushing and shoving someone and Martin gets involved but Newman is nowhere near.

Gildart didn't just happen to have a nose bleed at that particular time. I think Stains away will be a step too far even with these players, but I'm sure we'll give our best either way.

I just hope if we get beaten it’s not because we’ve fluffed it. It’s the stupid errors that annoy me; the stuff we can and should control.

We’ll need to expel the last game against them from our memory. I’m hoping Zane will galvanise them - he is one intense dude.

Newman did push out at Gildart and bust his lip a bit, but the Wiganers were being arses cos they lost… if that gets a ban it’s ridiculous. The game needs its star players involved in the big games, there’s no risk of serious injury and it was just handbags between backs.

If they are bothered about preventing injuries stop three man tackles where they’re trying the break the ball carrier’s back or legs. Stop the knee slides. There were some toilet tackles from Wigan in that game, I’ll be writing a letter at this rate!

Thats a valids point on the potential of bans, once over, the perceived benefit of finishing higher up the table was the extra weeks rest...The way the games going, the benefits going to be the other team will have multiple players banned from the extra game. I know we'v got to look after the players, but some of the things penaltys and bans have been given for this season are pathetic imo.

It was Newman who jumped in to protect Briscoe and he caught Gildart in the face.
Nothing in it for me same as Oledzki.
If Gale is fit I would go:
Myler
Luke B, Hurrell, Newman, Handley
Lui, Gale
Tetavano, Leeming, Prior
Martin, Mellor
Smith.

Dwyer, Holroyd, Oledzki, Donaldson

But think Agar will start Tet at 13.

Re: SL GF E | St Helens (A) : Sun Sep 26, 2021 6:21 am  

Given the way the disciplinary has gone this year they may ban Tetevano for 2 games for Albert Vete's tackles against Warrington!!

cant see past saints winning the title. would rather have faced Catalan who I dont rate that highly. had an easy run fixtures wise, very few midweek games. very bearable. imagine a Leeds v rovers final though. lovely...
