The disciplinary apartheid continues unabated. Grade D for Matty Lees? Pathetic, farcical again. It was a penalty, not the worst tackle ever, 1 game at most. He'll miss 5 games now? Just boring now and the bias showing far too blatantly and they don't care, they don't even try to hide it. Wright got his ankle caught in the turf, so are the 5 games for that happening, or for the lazy arm he put out to obstruct him? The hip drop in the Warrington game was worse than what Knowles did, clearly. No ban because there's no injury. Is the right way to do things? Or should they be judging the act itself?
The ban for Sironen? Tell me Saints are being treated the same as other clubs there? Look at the decapitation attempt in the Cas game and compare to that. Farcical, the bias clear.
The worst bit about it though is the blatant lies and nonsense they put in the minutes. The Catalans player 'attempted a tackle' whilst clubbing the Cas player off the ball in the head. Good to know. The Wright high shot in Ritson (A clear grade B, borderline card tackle) hit his shoulder they say, despite the clear video evidence of the contact being flush on the upper lip with the forearm.
One of the main priorities for IMG is ripping up the current disciplinary process and replacing it. Sacking and never working with those involved again is essential.
