Successful appeal so common sense prevails.

The whole system is not fit for purpose and needs a radical overhaul. Quite how someone determined an accidental clash of heads as a high tackle in the first place is beyond me.

So YG,
Are you not struggling ?
Are your (some )players not coming to the end (careers ) ?
Is your discipline that needs to be sorted affecting the team ?
Are some players not as good as in the past ?
Have you some players that are not grub like (Knowles for one )
Your coach (nice bloke)hasnt the skills of say Woolf (not yet anyway)
Which one of these are not true ?
That said once sorted you could become a force again,the table doesnt lie.

For once you’re right. The table doesn’t lie. Sailed above you with a game in hand and we’ve not started trying yet.

Not bad considering we are “shot at” and no longer a force.

If only we’d been telling folk for years not to write us off. Oh wait……

The fact your judging Saints success as being above Wigan tells you all you need to know

No I’m not. I’m responding directly to someone who said 2 weeks ago we are no longer a force and not a team to be taken seriously. That is all.

To be fair all bases were covered in his post.

FWIW it wasn't as bad as I expected today. Saints dominated field position with their pack as u would expect but we looked dangerous when we got some ball at the right end.

How is Ritson still playing before Bennison? He's championship standard at best. Kevin penny without the tries

I think you are a force if you can get your first 17 on the paddock. If injuries bite again you will be an average team.

I agree the system is farcical, repeat offenders are not treated as such yet accidental incidents warrant a reprimand. Smithies tackle on Welsby at the DW is another prime example.

At that time your players were arguing,you was out of sorts you had players banned so yes you was shot at that time not now though.
Now that its sorted you are back to your greatest team of all time standard.

You would not come on here if you had lost.
