And this weeks winner for the most sour grapes in 1 post goes to Jimmy Carr.

The more I see it, the less accidenatal it looks. Wouldn't wish injury on any player, but you can't help think that karma can be a real biatch at times!

Some Saints fans been tweeting Craig some lovely messages.

I don't understand why people say it was.

He swung a stiff arm in his face.

Just watched again. Gets worse each time. Should be a long ban, even thought the injury will keep Smeli out for a while longer.

Yep when the term 'Banjoed' is used that is the type of shot it means.
Horrible every time you see it andI do wonder if that is what the little inserts on the shirts are to protect against.

I don't see how anyone can think it was accidental as Craig neither changed direction or speed just before Meli banjoed him which is why head highs are normally committed. Instead he just lined him up and hit him that hard that he dislocated his own elbow on Craig's head.

Not sure if was malicious or just stupid, the manner of this looked bad but I thought the Gardner one on Welham and the Wilkin one on Dobbo were more cynical. Davies trying to justify it on the beeb was laughable, the 'winger has to stop the centre' and 'Gardner's not like that' are hardly reasons to say a shoulder into the head is legitimate.

Grade E charge for Meli

Means nothing he's out for 8 weeks anyways

St Helens trio Francis Meli, Jon Wilkin and Ade Gardner have all been charged with committing offences during their Tetley’s Challenge Cup fourth round tie against Hull KR on Saturday April 20.
Meli will appear before the RFL Disciplinary Panel tomorrow evening (Tuesday April 23) in relation to a Grade E, intentional high tackle offence committed in the 33rdminute of the game.
Wilkin has been charged with committing a Grade C dangerous shoulder charge on Hull KR’s Michael Dobson in the 4thminute of the contest while Gardner has been charged with committing a Grade B dangerous shoulder charge on Kris Welham in the 17thminute.
Both Wilkin and Gardner have until 11.00am on Tuesday April 23 to submit Early Guilty Pleas in relation to the offences.

Will go against him if he ends up before the panel in future though

That's true yeah but who knows with the rfl at least they have looked at them or is it cos it was on tv they knew they had to anyways they're still bent

If the rfl are serious about the new shoulder barge rule then they have to start setting examples starting with Wilkin and gardner . Having only watching the game once I cant remember much of the gardner one tbh but the Wilkin hit on Dobson was shocking . Why couldnt silverwood go to the big screen to look at point of contact ?

To bloody lazy and prob cos he knows he'd have had to sin bin him or sumet

They will both probably put an early guilty plea and cop a measly 1 game ban each ... The system works
