St Helens are like their fellow Scousers Liverpool FC, offended by everything and ashamed of nothing.

Anyone take note of James Bell’s tackle on Bentley tonight? Struggling to see the difference from the tackle Wellens is in uproar about.

In one, the player being tackled has a saints shirt on and therefore it is a disgrace that he wasn't banned.

In the other it is the tackling player in the saints shirt and so therefore it was an accident and any penalty/ban is a disgrace.

Here's another that needs calling out. Wellens has opened a can of worms in my view. https://twitter.com/MattyJGannon/status ... ediaviewer

Just tried it, and it does work. It's on Twitter.

Got it now. Cheers.

Bell tackle wasn’t even remotely similar to the ones by Asiata. Embarrassing, this

This is hard to keep up with…

Saints fans saying it should be banned. Leigh fans saying it was fine. Saints players then start utilising the ‘fine’ tackle and now those saying it was fine now say it’s illegal…. Yup makes sense

FWIW it’s an awkward tackle technique but not banned yet. Very effective in stopping a charging player but can go wrong plus it looks like there’s just as much danger of a head knock for the tackler.
