Just out of interest how many bans did Bentley cop when he played for saints? Has he got dirtier at Leeds? or did the disciplinary immunity just vanish as soon as drove out of Mcmanus drive? You decide.

I'm buzzing Kasiano hasn't been cited, i would like to see him come off the bench though rather that start at 13, BUT he's been good starting as well. I would like to see Philbin start at 13 with Kasiano causing chaos off the bench.

That's what I would go with as well given current player availability.

I love that this saddened fella has come on here spouting something carry on Cleo would be proud of thinking he’d get an ounce of sympathy. INFAMY INFAMY

He as even spouted it on the virtual terrace, it’s got laughed at on there also.

It’s rather embarrassing tbh, getting all a bit Lance Armstrong everyone cheats but Saints.

5 games in and you feel really hard done by...my heart bleeds..after all the years of favourable decisions both on and off the pitch all we hear is the rfl are out to do you..

It’s absolutely pitiful it really is. What a club! For all their success I’m glad I’m not a supporter of that lot.

Billinge Lump is alive, to the sound of whinging.

No naughty step timeouts for our players, which is good to read.

When I read the sad one's post I thought I had tinnitus; turns out it was just the sound of tiny violins playing instead.

Kasiano caused chaos from the start v Leigh with that pass to Dufty that led to Josh Drinkwater’s try!!!

Despite being unable to field some of the squad, there's still a good problem to solve.

Blimey, a saints fan moaning about the disciplinary process, how ironic. Thought they were the darlings of the British game who have made us all so proud with their antipodean antics back in February?! Spare me. They've had it coming.

Powell seems to like a ball player at 13, a big ball player. Philbin extremely limited when it comes to his ability to play with ‘soft hands’.

Unless Philbin has been working on that side of his game. Hopefully he has, but I think he’s more the battering ram rather than the player who can do both, ie Kasiano, McGuire.

Will be interesting to see how it plays out.

i reckon IMG have told the refs and disciplinary to ensure Stains dont win again as its bad for the sport

Was going to post similar and I guess it’s why Clark has been playing that role in the interim.

Thought the Leigh 13 looked good in that role on Fri.
