Can't wait to hear Wello's presser this week

All jokes aside, since Wellens went in on the RFL failing to protect players, he’s had one of his own players doing an Asiata style tackle and he’s then seen his club appeal a ban that looks pretty clear cut. They’re not making things easy for him on his crusade to protect the games players and make it safer for ‘everyone’ concerned.

Are we close to Matty Lees missing more games than he's played yet? He's not a dirty player though.

The next one from the angels over the hill will be that because the RFL aren't protecting their players they've taken it into their own hands. Morgan Knowles will be in his element.

They are appealing the tribunal verdict again.

It's poor from Saints IMO. It shows a complete disrespect for the process. Whilst we all think it's a sham of an organisation, there has to be some acceptance of the decisions.

Surely clubs can't just keep appealing until they get the outcome they want? I know on at least two occasions this season, Wigan have wanted to appeal certain bans but have decided not to and just begrudgingly accepted the bans.

They continue to undermine Wellens and his desire to make the game safer for all.

Says more about how dumb we are on these kind of things, than it does anything else. Wonder if KR has thought about sending them a bottle of whiskey? Wouldn't want them getting upset with us.

Hope Saints fail and take it to the Court of Arbitration. Get some extra eyes on it & turn it into a media circus.

Their 2 best props out for the last 7/8 games of the season since 2 weeks ago, so you can understand them appealing a ban on a 3rd.
It's a drastic situation requiring extreme measures

I mean its not like any other team has got or had their best 2 props out for the vast majority of the season and then picked a ban up on a 3rd
Or had 2 of their 2nd rowers out for extended/major parts of the season

Oh wait
