The RFL certainly doing their bit. After the ridiculous decision not to award a penalty for the most blatant shoulder charge ever in the Leeds v Saints game, they've backed it up with another shocker. Matty Lees yellow carded and Leigh score 3 tries in the ten minutes he's off, yet it's found to have not even been worthy of a penalty. 4 points to the RFL over the two games there, well done. Yet the referees will continue to be unaccountable for their actions and given games next week as if these things never happened.

You complain if they get punished, and complain if the disciplinary panel are lenient. It wasn't unworthy of a penalty, he has been issued with a warning and yellow card sufficient.
At the end of the day, if Saints think that all refs are out to get them, they need to ensure they can't be penalised. Ie, play to the referee. If they are as good as people think they are then they should be able to win whilst playing a squeaky clean game.

If you think St Helens are not treated harshly by the refs you are wrong
Regardless of whether Saints think they are being treated harshly, they are still failing to adapt their style of play to the referees.
They are a good enough team to do that and still get results, but they don't seem to have a mindset of world champions at the moment. So they do the same things that everyone knows will get them penalised and then complain when they do actually get penalised.
Instead of complaining you should be looking for solutions and get back to winning games.

Let them think they are hard done to, they will lose their heads regularly and be punished accordingly, then they will lose their heads even easier and be punished accordingly…I think you know the chorus by now.
Just my opinions unless it's a FACT, in which case it's a fact.
