Saints must have had compelling evidence. Had they have lost the appeal and it be deemed frivolous, they would have lost Walmsley for the Wigan fixture. I don't think they would have risked that for a £250 fine. If it was for the incident I think it was, it was a head clash, commented on at the time by the clowns, sorry commentary team, on Sky. It seems at the moment the review panel are leaving themselves open to appeals. The McDonnell ban and appeal shows that they just took the word of the touch judges decision on the field as gospel, It would appear as a result of Leeds appeal, that despite all the video angles, they couldn't find the evidence of that. I presume the touch judge must have back tracked as they allowed the appeal. How many times has this happened and a club hasn't appealed for fear of the appeal being deemed frivolous and losing a player for an extra game with an important fixture at stake.

Rugby League is a simple game but the powers that be are making the understanding of the game farcical . Rule changes every season that are hard to follow during the viewing of games & disciplinary procedures that could diminish even further a teams ability to play its best side & if individual player know their scores are totting up it'll be like playing with one arm tied behind his back.

Lewis on 3 points from last week, chances are he will get 3 more after tonight.
