Kasiano not even cited, oh boy queue the conspiracy theorist’s. But like I said on the game thread after looking at the highlights I said I don’t think he would get a ban but surprised not even a fine.

Absolutely nothing in that. Don't remember Williams tripping anyone??

Just read the notes Kasiano was binned due to an accumulation of team penalties.

Morgan Knowles 1 game ban, man there is going to be a meltdown over on Redvee over treatment of their beloved Saints, not saints are they now

Excellent news. We would have missed big "bad" Sam.

It's hard to argue now that we're not being treated on a different scale to the other teams. I guess it's the (rather unprofessional) reaction to the Knowles appeal last year. We embarassed them, so have a year of being targeted by referees and the panel alike. It'll do Wellens' rotation for him though as he's unlikely to ever need to rotate anyone as they'll be getting suspended for anything all year.

My understanding of the Kasiano sinbinning at the time, was it was more down to the accumulation of penalties that we had given away in quick succession rather than the severity of the ‘contact’ he made on the Leigh player.

He’s a really good player, big miss if suspended!

Westerman £250 fine for dangerous contact lol

You have had favourable treatment for years, all that's happened, is that you're now being treated the same as everyone else.

Everyone has had bad calls and everyone gets the same inconsistencies with the disciplinary panel. Historically this has mostly been saints players getting lesser bans for the same offence (see makinson vs Lineham squirrel grip bans), or even saints players getting bans overturned where other clubs get an extra game for being frivolous with appeals, like we had with oliver holmes last season. We had a 7 game ban issued before the season started, yet we are being given favourable treatment? It's never your fault is it? Referees are giving out more penalties and 6 against and your players aren't adapting. Saints will still win it this season, don't worry.

it was the same as the brierley one against salford.

i'm quite surprised ipape hasn't picked up a suspension, that looked nasteh on clark

Never our fault? Don't make out we're like Liverpool. I'm not saying we never commit fouls, or even bannable fouls (Hurrell for example). I'm fine with Saints players getting bans, provided we're treated the same as the other teams across all the games. But we aren't. Look at the Cas v Leeds game. Several incidents in that, three late shots (1 picked up for Bentley, the others completely ignored), two blatant high shots, contact with the ref and abuse of the ref picked up on the televised footage. If that was a Saints game we'd be looking multiple bans. If the Knowles challenge happened in four games, it'd likely be ignored in two, charged at a fine in one and banned when it's Saints. That's how it is this year.

The treatment of Saints this year isn't them reeling us back from preferential treatment as you make out, it's a mard reaction to the disciplinary process being embarassed by Mike Rush over the Knowles appeal. That's all it is. They felt the same as you and everyone else who isn't a Saints fan did when they had to overturn that ban because of technicality. Now we're getting that back with two fingers. Just shows what an amateurish sport it is.
