The crazy thing is 2 games was actually getting away with it. I’m not sure what this classes as. It actually feels like Knowles should be a bit sheepish about playing. You could tell with his reaction on Saturday that he knew he’d cost himself a place in a Grand Final. He just looked like he was thinking ‘wtf have I done’ and then this.
On the plus side if this doesn’t lead to a reform of the whole set up/process, nothing will!
Crazy isn’t it?! Anyone who has been involved or played in RL would say that what Knowles did was very, very naughty and much worse than Bateman’s head explosion on Friday. I don’t think any Saints fan could say this is the right decision with a straight face, but fair play to Woolf et al in recognising the spineless disciplinary and even chancing it!
What I will say is that it does, in a strange way, make me want to watch the game more; it’ll spur Leeds on I’m sure.
