Game changer for me is Maloney being banned, he was superb on Friday.

Not at all. If players can't follow the rules and keep doing dumb dangerous things like Thompson and Tetavano in particular have done this year then they, and we, should expect bans.

Three matches for that though? Come on

On the the flip side,I think they have Drinkwater back.So not as depleted in the halves as you may think.

Next you'll be saying Leeds are tackling too hard.Similar hits to Tetavano have been treated with greater leaniancy.Phil Clarke even expected Singleton to face the disciplinary due to contact with the official but had no case to answer unlike Leeds.The disciplinary panel are shameful in some of their decisions.

It was a bad, dangerous tackle. Well worth three games for someone just coming off a ban. He has no arguments whatsoever.

"Similar" is not "the same as". There is no great conspiracy against Leeds. Let's not fall off into the sort of tin foil hat world Saints fans inhabit.

Getting? It's, been ruining the sport for past 5 years. This is a tough, fast game. Split decisions are made, and challenges mistimed. We need to accept this, but punish malicious intent. Not treat the players like naughty school boys for mistiming a tackle or occasionally loosing their temper...... Morning rant over....

The sport needs to show that it is taking tangible action against potentially dangerous play.

There is an element of box ticking going on I suspect.

Having said that I have no problem with the Thompson charge.
