Saints believe their own press. Cats still have a chance.

Mike, I think you're right to some extent. I'd say Saints are good, but not as good as many people seem to think they are, as we demonstrated.

Maybe though, we should play along with their delusion until after we win the GF?

Looks like Saints are through
They will miss Mac not sure about Joel though.

I should add that a Grade F suspension is ridiculous for what Mac did.

I thought so too at first, but he lifted a potentially injured player physcially off the ground. If that player had a spinal injury that is incredibly dangerous.

Agreed. No need for it what so ever and he must have known he caught him with a good one.

He man-handled an injured player on what planet is that ridiculous?

If there had been a competent ref he should have seen red for that alone

Mac is no doctor or physician, no way should he have handled the injured player the way he did, not even a medical consultant would know the extent of his injury at that point, without thorough examination.
He could have willfully inflicted a life changing event through his own ignorance and deserves the long sentence awaiting him. Gone one step too far on this occasion.

I didn’t say he shouldn’t face the disciplinary, I said a Grade F suspension was ridiculous and that is on planet earth.
