So tonight's reserve game counts as Bentleys first game ticked off from the 3. The women's team also have a game this weekend so he'll only have one left to serve then.

Not right is it.

It's weird it's not come up before that I can recall.....is it a new rule ....or a new ruse?

I agree to a large extent but Bentley had started to play that way when he came back from injury while still at Saints. Before the injury he seemed to be able to control the aggression.

He's no good to us sat in the stands. Doesn't matter how good he can be. He's useless at the moment to us.

It's obvious he now has his card marked by the RFL, players, refs etc. But that's due to his own indiscipline. He needs to sharpen up his game. He needs to try his best to make people try and forget he's a walking red card.

is there anetball game we can count

Definitely marked as a red card in waiting with disciplinary action to follow.

Could be compared to Smithies following yesterdays cup final but nothing happened to Smithies.

Smithies has been let off constantly this season.....

Well he needs to find out how and learn from him then.

Well it looks like Smithies has been banned for a total of 4 matches (2 for each high tackle).

Childs totally bottled it - the second attack to the head had to a Yellow card as a minimum , as demonstrated by his 4 match ban. As per usual , a total lack of consistency from the officials . The refs lack of bottle once again changes the game .
Going forward , watch the St Helens kick chasers - they are never behind the kicker , but never get penalised.

Regulation 12(1) a Saints player can never be offside, EVER.

what were the sts kick chasers doing on the pitch

There is a good player there in Bentley he is young and needs to stop those brain farts. Was Leeds a good move for him clearly not..... But Showmethemoney (his Agent) turned his head.

Saints offered more and that came from your chairman.
