| I don’t have words for the disciplinary anymore. It’s going to drive people away from the sport if it continues because even though I know it’s total incompetence and not favouritism, not everyone will think like that and will instead look elsewhere for entertainment.

Yep, looks like utter pot luck on whether you pick up a ban or not.
Couldn't really care less about the GF now we're not in it but for a panel to find him guilty another panel to uphold the decision and then a third panel to come along and say sorry you've got it completely utterly wrong is just embarrassing for the sport

| So on the basis of that decision, I can coach teams to twist the arm back just enough to hurt a player but not put them in great danger, knowing it’s ten mins in the bin at best.

| Fair play to Saints, they’ve played Russian Roulette and got away with one massively. However, it must be said there’s no wonder the sport is a laughing stock to outsiders looking in. Imagine this happening in Premier League football?!
FWIW, I don’t think it changes the game on Saturday that much and I’m still looking forward to it massively. A boost for Saints but more motivation for Leeds.

The crazy thing is 2 games was actually getting away with it. I’m not sure what this classes as. It actually feels like Knowles should be a bit sheepish about playing. You could tell with his reaction on Saturday that he knew he’d cost himself a place in a Grand Final. He just looked like he was thinking ‘wtf have I done’ and then this.
On the plus side if this doesn’t lead to a reform of the whole set up/process, nothing will!

| No excuses from Saints now if they don't walk it.

Crazy isn’t it?! Anyone who has been involved or played in RL would say that what Knowles did was very, very naughty and much worse than Bateman’s head explosion on Friday. I don’t think any Saints fan could say this is the right decision with a straight face, but fair play to Woolf et al in recognising the spineless disciplinary and even chancing it!
What I will say is that it does, in a strange way, make me want to watch the game more; it’ll spur Leeds on I’m sure.

| He will have a point. No side has ever won 4 grand finals in a row. They could achieve something that is never equalled. Sad but true

| Since Holbrook’s first full season in 2018 it would be 4 grand final victories in a row, 3 LLS and a challenge cup. I think it’s a pretty fair statement based on results

You’re having a laugh. Knowles tugged on someone’s arm, Batemen literally knocked someone straight out and caused them to miss the grand final lmao what an insane statement

Tugged on his arm? You must be having a laugh. It was a deliberate, unnecessary and cynical act. The lad has got away with murder and, let’s not forget he has previous. Next, you will be telling me that Makinson’s ball grabbing escaped was justifiable.

You need to look at Wigan’s record or are you trying to re-write history?
