Sat 17th Sept: SL: St Helens v Salford Red Devils KO 13:00 (Sky & Channel 4)

Anyone know why it wasn't a red? I'm baffled it was so blatant.

[Mark S]

If Saints get through they will be missing Knowles (who must be banned for that) and Warmsley, the Leeds forwards will be relieved.

There’s only one possible answer to that one.

Saints at restart are still asking why Knowles got binned.

So am I to be fair...

[dkw]

Oof, what a tackle by Welsby. 

[Old Frightful]

Sneyd should have seen that and held on, poor from him.

[Futtocks]

Oof! Welsby in like a bazooka round, there.

High tackle though and arguably careless too.

[DavidM]

Shoulder to the head, fair play to the Salford player he could have easily stayed down to get a penalty

Shoulder hit the face but it was at speed, is that an excuse though?

[Old Frightful]

Shame LMS was involved in that error, I quite like him.

Nothing wrong with the tackle at all. 

[Old Frightful]

Another six again award for Salford missed by Kendall.

[johnh1]

‘Nice and quick James’. No 6 again, of course.

[jacksy]

Instant call of move on Salfard tacklers.

[Just Browny]

Brierley just runs up into the line every time and Saints kick it behind him.

How did atkin end up with a bust nose and bloody mouth?

Players were getting cards earlier in the season for making contact with the head like that. The tackler has a duty of care not to make contact with the head, accidental or not. Welsby very obviously did.

Carelessly running into Wellsby's shoulder.

[dkw]

Saints match threads on here are hilarious

Apart from the shoulder to the face.
