Morgan Knowles sees red - again

I see the Knowles got another red card v Halifax. Only details from BBC are this:

Saints ended the game a man down with Morgan Knowles shown a red card for a high hit on Tom Inman in the final minute.

Tackle is available on Twitter from ViaPlay:

First game back and in the last minute. Someone needs to have a word with him. Great player but far too often breaching the boundaries in what is now allowed.

I think the issue this year is that Saints in the past have gotten away with more than others, but given the ongoing lawsuit it is now being punished.

Match is on free on Virgin Media later - 553 viaplay extra at 1330.

That must be another pretty lengthy ban. Absolutely needless

Hopefully 3 matches - we play them on 9th June

The discipline St Helens have had for the last few years has all but gone,utterly needless tackle and a lad who’s team was well beaten,totally pointless

Terrible tackle, rushed in with both feet off the floor - initial contact with the head, 3 games at least.

That's a shocker.
At any point in the game that's a bad tackle.
He's out for a at least 3-4 games.

but still the majority of saints fans defend him

the RFL is out to prevent them from winning 5 in a row

get over yourselves you pr***s

you have a team full of thugs who have gotten away with it for too long, and you are now getting players sent off / banned as they should be doing. They are so quick to call Wigan a team of grubs, thugs etc etc, but wont accept that any of their own players do anything wrong

i think most will accept that with some tackles there is a fine line between it being perfect / a ban, but they arent learning, and its the same players getting banned every other week. If you've had 4 bans for a late hit on a passer, plus several other citings what would you do as a player?

Saints suffering from trying to be the enforcers and shatter bones in hard tackles. Too much focus on pure aggression has lost them their attacking edge. Get around the first guys charging in to snap you in half or off load they are wide open.
