Reckon Gale will be given at least 8 games as a example despite his previous good record which only seems to count if you play for St's, Leeds or Wigan.

Gale hasn't a previous good record. He had bans for punching and dissent whilst at Leeds and I'm pretty sure he's got previous from his cas days too.

He played enough games for Leeds to get banned twice? I’m astounded.

Not surprised really, but season could be over by the time we see him again. With so much of our cap invested in the first 17 and so few of them available this was exactly what we didn't need.

I haven’t said they hate us. I have simply stated that clubs are not dealt with evenly by the disciplinary when dishing out punishment for offences committed. So stats on the number penalties and cards is pretty irrelevant as doesn’t show the inconsistency of offence v punishment which is the issue for me.

Though you seem to give the impression you think the officials are infallible and perfect and the Wynn penalty snd card was just? That decision alone highlights the poor officiating standard when an onfield ref and VR with the help of reply’s to look at still get and got it so wrong

No, I never said that and I don't believe it either. If you interpret it that way that's up to you.

I bet Sneyd is laughing his head off.

If that's true then the game of RL is just a joke and no longer the sport it was. I agree in player welfare but you can't officiate a physical sport with mambie pambie officials as we may as well just ask players to wear ribbons on their shorts and outlaw tackling altogether.

Have to say if Gale contacts with the ball and he chases it forward,collects and scores under the posts its deemed as a great try.
Small margins

We have lots of previous with Liam Moore, think back to last seasons Derby at our ground all those disallowed trys. I watched him ask the touch judge hicks if swifts was a try, hicks replied yes, Moore instantly said no try and sent it upstairs.

The anti Hull agenda exists.
Why didn't Sironen get punishrd for the clenched fist high shot to Sataes face?
When we have a slipped shoulder tackle by Connor resulting in a red card and further 1 game ban.
What was the Wynne sin bin all about, Moore sat watching replays and still gets it massively wrong.

It's season after season after season, we get absolutely crucified for any infringement or sometimes none at all. Certain teams walk away Scott free.

It's turned into a farce, won't be renewing my pass if this continues, totally ruining the game.

Lets not all fall out eh.
I think its overly harsh and I have my doubts as to whether we'll see a consistent application of the rules over the season but it is what it is. Just have to accept we are without Gale for a good chunk of the season and move on.

Re: St Helens Pre Match Chat : Mon Feb 21, 2022 8:56 pm  

honestly i think 2 or 3 games would of done and i'm a saints fan

Laughable, waste of time talking and getting angry about it.

Massive opportunity for McNamara and/or Hookem.
