I'd be amazed if there were any bans for the GF with the MRP finishing the joke with a punch line.

Have you watched any of the 2022 season?
Bans have been given out on a weekly basis for less.
Leeds have had more bans this season than any of the last 25 years I’ve watched them.

If they get banned, saints will appeal, and it’ll get overturned.Then they’ll just ban Martin again instead.

You're missing the point. They've also been very Inconsistent and I don't believe for one second they won't change the rules a week before the grand final.

Saints should be missing a few, my guess is

Morgan Knowles
Chicken wing tackle 2 match ban

Jack Welsby
Contact with the head 3 match ban

Sione Mata'utia
Moving an injured opponent on the floor 2 match ban

Tommy Makinson
Professional foul in the act of scoring a try 1 match ban

You’re having a laugh

Thankfully I doubt Kendall will get the gig next week due to that shocking decision on the penalty try that wasn't given

Re: SL GF | St Helens (Old Trafford) : Sat Sep 17, 2022 2:55 pm  

Saints copped their fare share this year as well its the inconsistency that is ridiculous. To be honest where there is a bit of leeway I am all for erring on the side of benefit of the doubt and nobody missing a grand final. If Knowles gets off though I will be astounded!

Re: SL GF | St Helens (Old Trafford) : Sat Sep 17, 2022 3:22 pm  

Knowles is blatant foul play. There was no need to do what he did. His should be a ban. The rest common sense should be applied even if for most of the season it hasn’t been.

Re: SL GF | St Helens (Old Trafford) : Sat Sep 17, 2022 3:26 pm  

Welsby causes a bust nose and lip on this year's standards how can that not be a ban.

Re: SL GF | St Helens (Old Trafford) : Sat Sep 17, 2022 3:26 pm  

Knowles should absolutely get a ban. But the suggestion anything else deserves a ban is farcical. There was nothing in the Welsby contact other then chest on chest contact. I cannot believe I have just seen someone claim a professional foul should lead to a ban …

How does chest on chest contact lead to a bloody nose?
