Genuinely thought someone had hacked the RFL Twitter page when I first saw it. Astounding work by the club

Saints going about their business in a nice quiet professional manner.
Great news for Morgan - one of the hardest working players in the team who deserves to play on the big stage on Saturday.

Can’t wait for Mike Rush’s book.
Oh this is absolutely glorious. Social media has gone into complete meltdown

Hilarious. Fair play to our legal team.

Atkin should get the two match ban for faking injury.
“Attacking” players joints and “unnatural positions” has been a ban (as wel as punishment on the day) for a little while now. I can’t say that I agree with the RFL’s decision to reduce the ban and I wouldn’t be happy had it been a Leeds player going from two to free to play within twenty four hours of the appeal.
How we’ve got away with that, I don’t know. I’m glad we have but The RFL and the disciplinary process need binning immediately.

This is what the RFL have said "Tonight’s tribunal accepted that while there was some twisting to apply pressure to the limb of an opposing player, this did not exceed the normal range of movement and therefore could not have posed an ‘unacceptable risk of injury’."
Full minutes out tomorrow.
However what saints have argued and your photo shows it is that it's quite normal for the arm to go there, I'm sure everyone can put their arm in that position.
I mentioned the other day - it's not a typical chicken wing - where pressure is put on the joint
Look daft thing for Knowles to do, was trying to prevent quick ptb, was it worth 2 matches? Course it wasn't..
Saints appealed, failed. Clearly the rules allow another appeal and they must've brought fresh evidence or argument and won.
Can't blame Saints! Show me another Club who wouldn't have done the same.
At least the MRP had the guts to admit they'd made a mistake.
Just wondering who's arm we had to twist to get the decision over the line? Tee hee
