How does chest on chest contact lead to a bloody nose?

Because physics become involved and heads can clash ect

Welsby's was a reckless shoulder to the head with force that bust his nose. If the MRP are consistent then it is a banker ban.

Newman confirmed ruled out next week and the GF. He has undergone surgery on his hamstring.

Must have been made worse in the persuit of getting fit having been in the squad and talking about the world Cup last week to then needing an op.

Shoulder to the head

That clearly shows it isn't a shoulder to the head,arms are wrapped around the player,chest to chest contact

Re: SL GF | St Helens (Old Trafford) : Sat Sep 17, 2022 4:06 pm  

Head contact seems to come from his head jolting forwards from the force of the tackle, secondary contact but either way on this year's rulings thats welsbys job to ensure that doesn't happen. That said he won't get a ban as its GF week.

dependent on the Sezer it’s going to be a very tough squad for us:

Myler; Briscoe Sutcliffe Hardaker Tindall; Austin Sezer; Oledzki O’Connor Prior; Bentley Martin; Smith.
Leeming Gannon Tetevano Thompson
/ Donaldson / Walters / Mustapha / Dwyer

Or

Myler; Briscoe Sutcliffe Hardaker Tindall; Austin Leeming; Oledzki O’Connor Prior; Bentley Martin; Smith.
Dwyer Gannon Tetevano Thompson
/ Donaldson / Walters / Mustapha / Johnson

It doesn’t’clearly’ show anything

Yes his arms are wrapped round the player but his shoulder hiys his head IMO

Some bias Saints fans here. That's been a ban all season.

The same bias that’s saying Knowles is a ban all day long? And there’s absolutely no bias from Leeds fans wanting Welsby banned?

Hopoate
Makinson Hurrell Percival Bennison
Welsby Lomax
Paasi Roby Lees
Mata’utia Batchelor
Bell

Lussick Sironen LMS Wingfield

Is my expectation for next week

I don’t ‘want’ welsby banned, i want consistency from the MRP. Fusitua got a ban for s very similar tackle not do long back.

On Knowles, that’s just cut and dried, youd look daft defending that.
