Yes thought that was ungentlemanly in the least. We can only play what is in front of us we do not chose the other team players. Poor taste. Its not so long ago this person was lauding Danny Ward and the team on SKY. Just shows his team is very unpopular in the league and
we have gained many neutral fans and he has turned into the green eyed monster. Jealousy is an ugly trait

Think you have got hold of the wrong end of the stick. Tony Smith was not having a go at your club. His ire was directed at Saints for fielding a badly weakened team twice against you. Saints lost three matches and ended up in top spot. Two of the defeats were against the bottom club. Selections like that skew the league table. In the past clubs were required to put out their best available players. This sadly does not now apply. Yes you can only play what is infant of you and credit to London for doing far better than anyone outside London expected. You cannot deny that you benefited from the actions of the Saints' coach. You may have beaten a nearly full strength Saints side once but to do it twice would stretch the imagination. Our game loses credibility if it continues to allow clubs to act in the way Saints did this season.

Agreed it does seem odd. You might have thought if there really was anything, it would have been dealt with before the Wakie game. Can you imagine the uproar if we had won with James scoring the winning try? Lets hope it is just something & nothing.

The reason for the delay was so the RFL could make a preliminary investigation to see if there was substance to the allegation and then decide how the matter should be dealt with. That is the usual procedure in such circumstance.

Need to up their game then. A week is more than enough time to resolve this. They are just lucky Broncos didn't beat Wakefield.

Really good news pleased for him, and the game as a whole, last thing we need is racial abuse to be the headline!

Absolutely, but also correct that when alleged this is investigated.

Completely agree, I did not mean to suggest that racial abuse was in any way acceptable
