When a team can 'gift' another team 2 points that could be classed as manipulating the league IMO.Not blaming Saints in this case, but as the rule stands it is a possibility.I think the rule needs clarifying.

Think if you go on squad numbers St had 2 / 3 players in the team who would be in first 13 next was a 15 and quite a few in the 20 /30+

You're well known for constantly scapegoating referees for your failings but now have moved on to blaming Saints.

The bottom line is Justin Holbrook is paid to do what he feels is best for St Helens, not Wakefield or any other club. It simply isn't his problem that you're deep in the mire.

I went yesterday and it was disappointing to lose but having played weakened sides twice against London it simply means our top players will be 160 minutes of rugby fresher come the business end. Our concern is ourselves and looking to win honours, not getting other clubs out of the mess they've made of their season.

please do not tar all the Trinity fans with the same brush. The majority of fans accept the only ones to blame are the Trinity players. I agree with you each club has to do what is best for that club. Saints have done nothing wrong and London played to win.

I think "unethical" is the word that would apply. However if Trinty were sitting comfortably at 5th place how many people would have mentioned it on here.
