Kaide Ellis

Another ban. Is he worth it? He, plus Mago, hardly turned up against Huddersfield. There's no point being a tough guy if its only round Wiggin of a Satdy neet and you never play.

So how have saints players avoided the bans for their high tackles over the last few weeks but wigan players cop a ban?

Kaide gets a week off and is fresh for the final - I can't recall the incident but then again, Astley faced a charge for this game as well!!

You mean like Hurrell being given only a caution for trying (and succeeding in) flattening Field and Bell on Friday managing to get nothing for the closest thing to a spear tackle I've seen for a while.

Didnt one of there players lead with the elbow v hull? I remember thinking they will defo get at least two hefty bans after that match

And then this as well from a saints player!!

St Helens’ James Bell was sent to the sinbin in Saints’ win over Hull FC on Friday night for a spear tackle, with many believing he would be subsequently banned.

However, despite the detail of allegation stating: “Dangerous Tackle – As Hull FC are attacking the St Helen’s #20 comes in to make a tackle and lifts the legs of an opponent and places him in a dangerous position,” Bell was not charged due to the Match Review Panel’s reasoning of: “Opponent is not lifted into a dangerous position.”

You can’t make this lot up!!

If Bell played for Wigan he'd have got 5 matches ,simple.

[Wiganer Ted]

At least Kaide didn't get banned for an offence in the Hull FC game Saturday.
Looking at the performance of the dis comm this year I'm pretty convinced they'll ban one of our players out of the Final.
Bringing the game into disrepute doesn't come close to what the dis comm people have been up to this season. An utter disgrace.
They need a complete review from top to bottom.

Indeed he did,shameful and shambolic from the muppets in charge,gone from one extreme to the other only,it seems to me,because of name calling about the length of bans..simply not fit for purpose at present.
