How many games for saints, zero red cards, 15 minutes for Leeds 1 red card! Couldn't that be considered as something which of proves my point. Bentley is a grub, he always has been.

Swinging arm with closed fist to the head I think I can agree its as bad as napa but don't see napas as being worse really.

I'd rather not see Napa or Bentley at all this season. They both have history for doing this sort of rubbish and if they or their coaches can't sort them out then good riddance, as they aren't doing the sport any favours going forward.

connor's is on twitter, he got stepped and gave someone a stiff hand to the face, considering he's got form, he's very lucky

Hit the nail on the head with that comment.was more of a sly dig..wonder where he developed that

I see Holmes got an extra game for a daft appeal. Early days but on track to match Lineham's games-to-suspensions ratio.

The club appealed though, not Holmes who plead guilty. I don’t think any club will have a case with head contact from now on. Better get used to it.

I don’t think Holmes had a bad rep at Cas for time off, so I’d hope he doesn’t do a Lineham here. It was a lazy challenge but no intent.

Should have just copped the initial ban. I have no problem with that really so long as they're consistent though the season with these.

I see Bentley also got an extra game for a frivolous appeal, that wouldn't have happened if he was still at saints, he would have got a reductionwhikst sat in the extra comfy chairs in the Tommy makinson suite at RFL HQ. Be interesting to see what happens when saints players make high shots this season especially if it's makinson, great player he really is but he doesn't half get some lenient treatment especially when compared to Lineham. The different bans for squirrel grips a few years back were ridiculous especially when makinsons had full evidence on sky cameras.

Have watched TV games at both senior levels I think we are going to have to live with inconsistent decisions on and off the field. In the Leigh TV game even the commentators could not see why a great smother tackle was penalised and Currie gets warning for what? Nothing changes.

If there's consistency great, I don't mean them spotting every single one and binning players that's not inconsistency but human error. However if there's zero tolerance now there should be zero tolerance in the play offs and finals.

I think we have heeded the instructions from the refs well and have a big chunk of our cap in Williams and widdop this offers them a tad more protection. Leeds on the other hand did not listen to the refs and targeted our halfs with lazy cheap shots and got pinged for it.

McIlorum is one of Cats most important influential players, and also provides a bit of their aggression. This helps us, as I’m not aware of a decent backup hooker in their squad.

They will also still be down by a couple of props due to suspension (Napa and Dudson). They will still be our biggest test to date but it is very welcome news all the same.

No disciplinary actions on us (and Holmes will be available once more). I haven't heard any updates re Currie (sternum) or Ratchford and Cooper (both rib). Hopefully all fit and available by Friday, also fingers crossed the Widdop has recovered from illness and that nobody else has caught it.
