I think the belief among the Leeds fans is that the team can beat Saints.
The reason this subject is being heavily debated amongst Leeds fans is because we have been crucified by the MRP all season and the punishments haven't been applied across the board.
I would rather see Welsby play because I didn't see any intent but I saw Fusitua banned for the same offence, Sezer banned for a similar offence and Martin banned for something that wasn't anywhere near as bad.
I don't want to see a young kid denied the chance to play in a final but those tackles have been punished all season and let's not forget he left him with facial injuries. There's not really any argument that he shouldn't be banned.
Regardless of this in my opinion anybody who suffers a ban then I think their crimes should have been worthy of a sending off at the time. Players are getting yellow cards or just penalised on televised games and then getting banned. If it's serious enough for a ban it should be serious enough to see red in a game. For serial offenders then yes a ban after a number of offences. If they don't see red in a game how can you issue a ban afterward for 99% of incidents?
