It’s not Cull.

It’s been said that only 1 insurance agents has took on covering SL, with strict guidelines.
The RFL have very little choice if that is the case.

Perhaps point the finger at Fozzard and Goulding?

We should appoint the same insurance agent as the NRL uses, or UFC, MMA, WBA, WBC, IBF et al.

We can't afford their premiums.

No idea what the RFL insurance premium is?

How does it compare to the money that is being frittered to IMG with nothing of note in return?

Saints appealing Lees ban. Don’t see how they win that, contact with a referee.

Wonder when was the last time St Helens didn't appeal
a ban? Perhaps the initial ban notification for a Saints
player ends with ' See you tomorrow'.

Now that is the very definition of a frivolous appeal. Lucky he only got 1 game. Watch for the meltdown when it goes up to 2!

Don’t know why they bother banning Saints players.

I can see why Matty Lee's ban has been reduced. I was surprised at the time that Kendal decided to get in the middle of it as Lee's was running in and I suspect that is the mitigation. Very rare to see a match official step in. One that used to do it a lot was Tony Martin (touch judge from Oldham) and always makes me chuckle to see a match official that is 12 stone wet through get stuck in.

Well they’re right there does seem to be an anti Saints bias in the disciplinary

We need to hire their lawyers.

I know you’re being sarcastic and I’m not one of the ones that think they’re biased, but it’s not the disciplinary that deal with the appeals, it’s a completely independent panel that usually involves a lawyer and/or a judge

Christ, no wonder Saints are in so much debt.

As for the jolt to Drinkwater's neck by Lees , there wasn't a lot of force but damage can still be caused to the neck from rear pressure ,hence head restraints on cars.
