Finally someone finds something genuinely comparable with a player grabbing a players wrist to slow a PTB.

The reality for me is that Knowles is a flat track bully anyway and I personally wouldn't pick him over Cameron Smith.

Same goes for Welsby vs Myler.

Welsby is a real talent - Knowles I agree with you

Welsby is a great talent if he can keep hold of his temper…

You lot still going on about Knowles? Good grief.
Don’t worry I reckon every 50/50 call will go your way tomorrow in an attempt to atone for the events of this week.

Never read as much reactionary nonsense in my life as I have seen on this thread.

St Helens fans continuing to conflate entirely different situations to cover up their unease at what's happened tells us all we need to know.

Leeds followed the appeals process.

St Helens nuked the process. And a player who hasn't been found not guilty will play when he should still be banned.

You do realise that all you need to do is replace "nuked the process" with "had a valid appeal upheld" to make yourself sound a bit daft?

And he has been found not guilty of the charge he faced. That's literally the whole point my man. The charge relied on his actions causing an unacceptable risk of injury and that was disproved. You can call it a technicalilty if you want, but all (non-frivolous) appeals wil be based on the technicalities of the charge vs the actions of the player. That is the entire point of it.

Saints also followed the process. The process allows for the appeal that Saints made and was upheld. Both sides have followed the appeals process this year but it appears only one actualy understands it.

Methinks thou doth protest too much! See you Saturday!

What you really mean is, Sezer misses a game through foul play, yet St Helens have a man available that committed foul play. Stinks doesn’t it.

Anyway, it’s water under the bridge now. Let’s go out there Saturday, hope Tetevano or Bentley dislocate Lomax’s shoulder and put him out of the game after 5 minutes. Take the subsequent yellow card and get a result.

Heard similar from some Wigan fans after they bought their way out of that relegation scrap when they blew inadequate cap rules out of the water. No consideration of the light it cast their club in and none for how it portrayed the game as a whole. Anyway, congrats on the appeal win.

Surprised it took this long to bring Wigan up

There will be complaints we broke the spirit of the disciplinary process next

Rubbish. Not one person that isn’t a Leeds fan will remember this at all in 6 months. Happens every time

To dislocate a shoulder you’d likely have to take it outside the natural range of movement. Could be in trouble

The interviews have been pretty pragmatic with the occasional slight on the ridiculous situation. Smith will have the emotional balance right as they react to all this.

Spot on.

I’m a saints fan but I like to think I’m pretty objective. I think Knowles should of got 1 game. But the whining from Leeds fans is laughable. For a club that finished 5th the supporters sound so entitled it’s unbelievable.
‘Let’s boycott the sport!’ ‘Lets sell our tickets’ . Holding the sport to ransom as if they’re bigger than the game. It’s p**s funny.
I hope the ref slaps us tomorrow and we still win by 40. They will still be crying that they would have won if Knowles missed out.

Like knowles did you mean?

Anyway, you’re boring now. Only you and that moron something vee or whatever his name is are trying to justify a dog act. Hopefully Liam Moore has bollock$ as big as Child did and France, and doesn’t fold like a deckchair with the pressure from Saints and Welsby trying to run the game.

Not wanting the sport to be corrupted further by St Helens gaming the disciplinary system = fans of the other club are "entitled"



You can tell St Helens is on Merseyside sometimes you really can.

Bizarre init. You’d think the incident happened against Leeds themselves the way they go on about it. But no, they’re just crying about not benefiting from an incident that happened in a different game, to somebody else. Loser mentality

No, he’s been proven not to have.

Club basically confirming that Bodene Thompson is playing on their socials

no idea what that means!

Really? A minority of Leeds fans are going over the top about a controversial decision that has detracted to the build up of what promises to be a memorable sporting occasion. But look at you - blatantly on the Leeds site trying to draw a reaction. Loser talk! Just because Saints are a great team doesn’t make you a winner. It's a game, 17 athletes against 17 athletes. The outcome shouldn't make you feel proud of yourself, be proud of your team and leave out the silly stuff.

You’re just pi**ed off that uncle Gary no longer runs the game on the sly.
