What a fooking disgrace and makes the game an absolute laughing stock. Some of the bans our players have received have been totally ott. To then basically let every Saints player off including Knowles deliberate chicken wing beggars belief. I bet that smug condescending coach of theirs is pi$$ing himself laughing. We need to vote with our feet next season and not attend one away game until the RL and MRP are fit for purpose.

I agree Knowles should have been banned but fail to see what other Saints players should have been banned

If the RFL think any Leeds supporters (largest supporter base in UK RL) might like to go to a RLWC game (who haven't already bought a ticket), I think they might be greatly disappointed. BOYCOTT ALL RFL EVENTS.

Saints coach " I will be surprised if Knowles gets a ban " that was influencing the panel he should have been done for that . I was expecting Knowles to get his ban extended, but I should have known better

They did. And it hasnt sat right with me that you can ‘appeal’ an appeal. Its a joke. A group of people decide its a ban. A group of people or one person (a judge) decides its still a ban. A group of people decide its not a ban. What does that say about the two groups and the processes that came before? Embarrassing.

So theyve basically decided the player it happened to faked the fact it hurt him and is a liar. Tricky ground me thinks.

Once again the MRP are the story in the biggest week of the domestic calendar. Whatever the merits of the miraculous evidence Saints have managed to produce it's just a terrible look for the sport. If I had to guess I would say Saints have turned up with legal counsel ( not a player and a coach) and Cullen and co have scuttled back under the sideboard. It a was ban the vast majority of fans, regardless of club affiliations, agreed on. That’s why the overturning of it stinks so putrid.
