That would be 6+ matches or a period suspension. Higher than the ban Gale got for lifting Lomax in a similar incident.

Lomax & Percival banned for Saints .

Welsby, Walmsley and Hurrell out injured, probably a couple more too.

Decent chance of a win.

I'm pretty sure they'll be fielding a stronger squad than us still. No sao or Sutcliffe with vuniwaya likely out also to add to cartwright and the 4 overseas players who have left. Amazing were getting anywhere near teams really

Is Sao’s record worse than Josh Griffin ?

Sao is really pushing the envelope and
costing the team !

If we’d stayed at 13 players then we win
the Dragons game !!!!

For me - it’s time to move him on

Sims has been banned for a total of five games.

Four for unnecessary contact with a player who is or may be injured (grade E reduced from grade F on appeal) plus one game for head contact (grade B).

Think Sao was hard done by to be honest as there was definitely mitigation as 1. It was Tomkins, 2. He was dropping low and 3. There was some degree of sportsmanship (or rather unsportsmanship) of which he himself after the game was virtually alluding too.

All in all I thought the appointment of Rushworth was a poor one as he wasn’t strong enough to handle the game sufficiently.

Not sure what to make of Sims ban when comparing to Gales for similar especially when you see him giving real verbal while his opponent is still on the floor after trying to drag them up.

Looks like Liam Rush has been stood down for this weeks SL appointments also and Quite rightly so .

Was he that bad? I didn't see the game but both sending offs will have been advised by the VR and the RFL have banned both of them

He's very young so will invariably make mistakes but unless these younger refs are supported we won't have many new ones coming through
