Saints appealing the appeal again. Time to buckle up! You can only really launch a second appeal on the grounds of technicalities and so forth, heard we are doing it on the grounds of being given the wrong charge, which I’m assuming is based on the conclusion from the first appeal, which means it’s fairly likely we will win and the ban will be overturned.

Twitter should be fun!



If it is anywhere as nonsensical as last time (for Knowles) it really opens up the floodgates.

Saints already have an issue when they have to use words to make a point having so flagrantly abused the English language.

The RFL is not fit for purpose. The biggest embarassing governing body of any professional (and I use that term loosely) sport. In a week that the much better ran RFU (a proper professional body I hasten to add) rescind Owen Farrells ban for a similar tackle, the anti saints rfl don’t do the same and don’t even cite Matty English for an absolute shocker of a cannonball tackle

The rfl are corrupt. You can’t even deny it these days.

Take it you've not read any of Ian Watson's stuff this week? He had a half an hour rant about how unfair the world is and called for Morgan Knowles and George Delaney to be banned, neither of whom had done anything wrong at all. He claimed Greenwood was given concussion by Delaney, yet now he wasn't banned for his elbow smash to the face he's suddenly feeling a lot healthier. He then had a massive rant about six agains on the first tackle, despite his side being one of the pioneers and worst culprits of this and despite Thaler stopping the game a couple of times because he thought Giants players must be injured because they laid on that long. He's backed that up with a phone call and email to the RFL about how unfair everything is against the Giants and another series of interviews about how cheated he feels.

This is the coach of the Huddersfield Giants who, despite 8 cards this season (Correctly) have only had one player banned all season, for one game. English should have had at least 3 and Yates the same just in games against Saints this season. So for all his moaning, he's well up in reality.

Leeds have appealed as many bans as St Helens have this year too.

You only see what St Helens do because you are jealous of our success. Once someone else wins the title and Saints go into a rebuild and drop away for a few seasons, I suspect you'll stop noticing what we do, like you don't spot anything the irrelevant sides like Huddersfield and Leeds do now.

The only reason they look up to you is because they chose to kneel.

Did he actually say Greenwood had concussion? If so, he shouldn’t be allowed to play for 10 days and if he was lying then he should be punished for it because that’s out of order Imo

Am sorry that you think I am jealous of Saints as believe me I am not as we are the most successful team in history. So why would I be jealous of you lot.
Have you ever been jealous of Wigan superior success rate,I suspect not as that is how it should be.
To call other teams irrelevant shows how arrogant you lot are,no team is irrelevant as we all need these teams to win or lose against.

Corrected for you mate. You're welcome.
