| Quote: NickyKiss "Smith got 3 games (rightfully so) and Franklin Pele also got 3 games for his challenge on opening night and when you stack them up against challenges like that Makinson one and other accidental contacts like the Liam Byrne one on Good Friday, it doesn't make a lot of sense to me but then when you throw in the fact Hiku did the same as Smith/Pele, to Jai Field in the CC semi and faced no action whatsoever, it becomes a farce!
You can accidentally hit somebody in the head and be banned for multiple games but trying to elbow drop somebody in the head can be fair game. I'd love to see Paul Cullen or whoever challenged on how that Hiku incident was let go.'"
The reasoning they gave was that no contact was made, which is why I asked the question at the time regarding Smith. Should that even come into it though? The intent is the same either way and as we're supposed to be trying to discourage deliberate attacks to the head it makes you wonder what they're thinking. |

Given that we are more than happy to give new contracts to ageing players- Lomax, Walmsley, then how are you sure we haven't offered him 2 years? How do you know that Makinson hasn't asked away for a new challenge?
Why would we waste a quota spot if he wanted to stay? |

I know what you're saying Zig but they definitely take these sort of things into account sometimes. Smith got the benefit pre WCC. I know the Cas player dove but I think most of us still expected a ban there. |

| Quote: Cruncher "I don't think it's just a symptom of the ill thought-out chaos we are struggling with currently.
Didn't Blake Green receive a blatant blow in the face while lying on the ground in a Grand Final, which resulted in a fractured eye-socket, and no action was taken?
This is a genuine question, because something might have been done about it later, though nothing was done at the time and Wigan gained no advantage on the day.
The Disciplinary are a clown show and have been for a long time. The idea that someone like Cullen should be involved is beyond laughable given the on-field career that he had.'"
That happened right in front of us mate and you could hear the impact. It was an horrendous attack. I said at the time that it was worse than the Ben Flower one and the damage inflicted on both players certainly bares that out. I think Westwood received a ban retrospectively but how he wasn't sent off is completely unfathomable. |

Westwood got 2 games IIRC, which funnily enough ruled him out of 2 England friendlies ahead of the 2013 RLWC and made him available for the opener against Australia in Cardiff. |

If the ONLY thing we could get right in our game was consistency from the refs and the judiciary, we'd be in a 50 times better place than we are now. |

Almost a poor decision as letting Harry smith play in the WCC |

Smith should have been banned for SL games but banning him for the WCC would have made as much sense as banning George Williams for the internationals at the end of last year. Domestic disciplinary issues should not lead to suspensions for international fixtures, club or country.

Totally agree. The all-licensed clowns in the Disciplinary should not have the facility to damage this country's chances of international success. They are dubious enough characters without giving them that power as well. |

To be fair any of your current wingers would have scored the 2 tries he did this morning.
I do like the look of him though very like for like to TM, be interesting to see who else you bring in as a rebuild is very much needed.
Feldt doesn’t strike me as the kind of player to come on a holiday, looks super committed, I do though think in losing TM a bit like when you lost Roby it’s another natural leader Saints through and through gone and no matter who comes in that’s tough to replace.

He’s a good player but I thought Saints could have got more bang for their buck by signing a centre or prop. To be fair though they may still do so.

| Quote: Zig "It looks like Jon Bennison will get a contract extension, I can’t believe that the saga surrounding Matautia has not been resolved though.
I've just watched the video where that article has plucked the comments from and Wellens doesn't make any reference to Bennison's contract at all. He praises him, but gives absolutely nothing awa in terms of his future.
