I see the RFL are continuing their campaign. Relentless they are. Morgan Knowles, Grade D ban, which indicates a serious ban and a sending off. Not a single person on Twitter has mentioned whatever henious crime he's supposedly committed to warrant that. Not one tweet suggesting a card or a ban, nothing. They aren't even attempting to hide it, just throwing random bans in every week.

Hip drop on Cooper.

Same as the one on Iain Thornley at HKR last season. Also why wasn't Sironen cited for the tip tackle, Singleton for the high tackle and Matautia with his "previous" not banned. I've no idea what Smithies did?

I don't think there's any intent to do that. He doesn't drop onto the legs, the injury is his knee hitting Cooper's calf as it's planted, not from Knowles dropping his weight onto him deliberately. I don't think Knowles deliberately drops either, he's still on his feet after the injury and it's caused by the rotation and the entry of Lussick from the side.

Just been told on Twitter the injury is potentially very serious, so wish him well.

Hip drop on Morgan Knowles at 36.23 on the clock. It's a textbook hip drop that one in terms of technique but Knowles isn't held by anyone so just goes down and doesn't get hurt.

Anyone who thinks the officials are impartial are clueless. If a saints player did what singleton did they would be banned for 8 games minimum

Good, if he's not injured? If that's what you're talking about?

Don't be bringing fact into it. He'll only convince himself the conspiracy against Saints goes back decades.

When someone else takes the title this year, he'll say that an asterisk needs to be added. Saints fans must be the worse losers in sport.

To be fair this season so far is like when Kim Jong-Un tries golf and the national TV news declares he set a course record, or when Putin enters a marathon and Russian state TV declares he won it.

With Saints being tied up in ropes by the RFL and their junta, I just hope Warrington win it and ruin the RFL's Leeds v Wigan final fantasy.
