I didn't really like the red card and thought it was a bit silly (Tommy went front on with his chest, wrapped his arms etc and the ref just decided to stop the game himself for no reason despite May wanting to play on) however, with the rules the way they are at the minute, I understood that it's technically correct.

Being banned for 3 games for it though is disgrace. Cannot loving stand the MRP, they are ruining the game completely

What were your thoughts on Byrne's sending off and subsequent 4 March ban on Good Friday?

Saints are to appeal the ban. https://www.sthelensstar.co.uk/sport/24 ... heard-ort/

3 games is ridiculous!

Feel for the lad, he’s been a great servant to the club and deserves better.

I agree with the red card but 3 game ban is absolutely not deserved.

Exactly, they were all singing and dancing back then.

I didn't remember the fact he got 4 matches until you just said it lmao, did he really?

My thoughts on it are probably in here. It was a clear red card, but I'd never have supported that level of ban for it, so I probably said that was stupid. I've been very consistent with my opinion of how much the MRP are an anchor around the game's neck

In fact I've been in here more than once over this year saying how I thought bans your guys' got and people of other teams have been ridiculous

We have a two tiered approach. Wigan and Saints seem to be in the firing line more than most other clubs.

Hull FC have joined the chat
I believe they've had most individual bans but we're neck and neck with them on accumulated matches

It would be interesting to see how Wire and HKR fair.

One of the fb RL pages, can't remember offhand which one, but it pops up on my feed does an accumulation every week, they call it "Only Bans" and as of last week HKR had the fewest with Wire just above them, if it pops up tomorrow I'll see where Saints are in the table
