ST HELENS could face another nervy disciplinary wait following the only yellow card of the Super League Round Nine.
On Friday night, the reigning champions travelled to in-form Hull KR, who have turned Craven Park into something of a fortress in recent years.
The Merseysiders were soundly beaten by Willie Peters’ men, who inflicted a 26-14 defeat, with one flashpoint during the second-half seeing Saints forward Matty Lees given a yellow card.
Lees, who up until that point had been in brilliant form leading an inexperienced Saints pack around the field, was sent for a ten-minute breather as KR took advantage.
Referee Ben Thaler adjudged Lees to have hit Elliot Minchella with a high tackle with the England international being charged with a Grade B High Tackle at the end of March in the win over Huddersfield Giants.
Back then, Lees didn’t incur a ban but rather a £250 fine. With that past indiscretion lurking though, it could work against him when the Disciplinary Match Review Panel meets today.
