About right for what it was. Not sure why we are appealing.

Having Hopoate fit and available now would be a massive boost as we could move Bennison to the wing, Percy centre and Matautia back into the pack.
No Hopoate either means Royle into the pack or Davies at centre and Matautia pack.
NEVER WRITE OFF THE SAINTS
Becomes a biggie for Hopo to be fit now. Davies is just not for me defensively
Well we expected him to get a ban. He may not have hurt the salford lad (who milked it) but it was a really stupid thing to do.
I’m just thankful Matautia and Welsby are good to go. They didn’t have a case to answer in my opinion but with the judiciary you just never know.
screaming in the family corner, scaring the kiddies
Can’t complain too much, stupid unnecessary act.

If not
The more I watch of the incident the less I think of it. It's stupid and undoubtedly foul play but any kind of ban after a sin bin suggests that Kendall and the video ref got it wrong between them - surely they should have sent him off (which would have been a ludicrous decision)?
Cannot wait for the p*ss boiling if this gets overturned.

Part of me isn't too worried Knowles is banned. He has been OTT a lot of the season and could easily do something silly in the final. I still have Mata’utia getting his ban overturned then getting sent off in my mind. It was silly and pointless from Knowles.
The other side is that other players seem to have got off without even a warning. Lafai hit someone completely off the ball and avoided a ban. Bentley hit a player on the floor with his elbow and that was missed. I am still not sure why Cust wasn't banned for spear tackling Simm. If the RFL insist on banning Knowles. I think we should insist that he not play in the WC due to needing "off season surgery". The RFL can't just ban or not ban players when they feel like it. If Knowles isn't at Old Trafford for us he isn't for England either.
I could agree with you but then we would both be wrong.
