LMS isn't innocent just not as guilty as some (bridge) be thankful whoever was doing the spear tackle didn't get the maximum thrown at them cause it was 'orrid!

That's the point, we've not been saying what LMS did was without blame, but when taken in the context that other more serious shots have been penalised simply by a penalty kick or a penalty kick at goal. Banning for 1 match on something less serious is a joke and makes the RFL a joke.
Just watched boots an all, of my sky+, in the opening set from the wire match we see Morley go high into LMS and briers pull Lomax down via the scrum cap, which is as much of a grapple tackle, or similar to a hair pull.
Either way none of them are deserving of a 1 match ban, but neither was LMS. Like I said if the RFL where consistent and banned everyone for a similar or worse tackle from last week, then most of the players would have a 1 or 2 week ban, including those in the spear tackle.
However the RFL have picked a non-tackle to go after a player for reasons only they can know, whilst ignoring all the rest.
Simply what is the point?
Just makes the RFL look daft, the same goes for the Tuson ban the week before, no Saints fan or player or coach was calling for that, it's as though the RFL disipline panel have decided they are not getting enough work and so are trying to justify their exsistence by banning players on random charges.
