Not sure how Saints fans et al think Makinson has been hard done to? His feet are off the floor AGAIN, his technique and previous record are horrendous. Learn the lessons or continue to spend half the season on the bench. You hear Peet and Burgess talk about individual players having to adapt and plenty of Saints players clearly can’t be bothered.

Because a THREE game ban for it is patently ridiculous. I dont think anybody would have complained with him being banned for a game but 3 just takes the mickey

I genuinely can't stand the MRP. Don't know what they do, or what they bring to the game. Handing out retroactive bans for everything has always been stupid as love and that's not even talking about the inconsistency and incompetence they exhibit in doing that stupid job. We need a new system asap

No surprise Saints appealing Makinson ban.

On the face of it, it seems a tad harsh - I thought two games at the time. It was direct shoulder contact to the head though, there was no attempt to bend the back, it was just a very misjudged tackle. He has previous, maybe that’s where the 3 games comes from.

Go back to last season, I think it was him, and hurrell who both had form, for coming in, and hitting passers late with the shoulder and in the head he was getting done/carded for it back then.

Clearly it's a technique that doesn't work clearly wellens hadn't worked with him to change it. Or he doesn't want to

Leigh appealing Asiata ban. They should be appealing why O’Brien never got cited.

Had he still been playing for us, I wonder how many games Tom Lineham would have received for the same offence.

Both harry smith and makinson receive 3 match bans...how that lot can say they both deserve the same punishment is beyond me

Expect those clowns to throw the book at Vaughan on Monday and possibly fine Sam, too. It's beyond a joke now, really. We're in the era of accidental contact being penalised on an equal footing with real, foul play, and players now looking to stay down so that if enough replays are shown, the VR will intervene. Sam's right, it's a loving pantomime. Let's all watch the ref deliberate with his earpiece. Yeah, that's what we all come to watch.

I hope he keeps speaking his mind and they keep fining him. Someone needs to speak up.

Not even a penalty last night in my opinion. Vaughan would have to bend in half, or disappear at that speed to avoid it
