Not the best example to use.

I think had it been a hard collision and possible head, neck or spinal issue then fine I can understand the repercussions of trying to get a player up but I think Gale will have known how much contact there was. I think Gale was wrong to try and lift Lomax up but the argument that he could have been seriously injured is a mute one and the fact once Gale was carded Lomax then stopped hobbling almost immediately and saw out the game on the field.

.

I think you know that was incorrect, so why post it as a fact. Lomax was hobbling for 5 mins had to play near the centre position and struggled to get to a good kick through by Hull, Hurrell had to clean up behind his own line.
Lomax had treatment at half time and didn't come back on until the last 19 mins of the second half.

Lomax may have been hobbling for 5 minutes, Liam Watts still hasn’t fathered any kids after Tommy squirreled him.

Well if they bump it from eight to nine there's not that much difference, it's still a long ban so it's worth a try.

As has been said, it was a stupid challenge especially from an experienced player so whatever the committee decide lets hope he learns a lesson.

Luke Gale: Frivolous challenge, increased to 25 years with hard labour.

Re: St Helens Pre Match Chat : Tue Feb 22, 2022 7:50 pm  

5 matches. Could have been worse.

Definitely.
And the final game of those 5 is a Challenge Cup game hopefully against lower opposition where he could (potentially) have been rested anyway. So league games it's only 4.

Maybe the Disciplinary Panel aren't biased against us after all

Re: St Helens Pre Match Chat : Tue Feb 22, 2022 8:05 pm  

Probably as good as we could have hoped for.
I'd be interested to know what he got for each charge.
2 for grabbing Lomax and 3 for the studs?

Maybe you’re right after all. So, how many matches did Powell get for going in with his knees to dislodge the ball for a try?
