ST HELENS have been given a small success on Tommy Makinson’s appeal.
Makinson and Saints went to an Operational Rules Tribunal tonight in a bid to reduce the winger’s three-match penalty notice handed to the veteran for Grade D Head Contact in the aftermath of his side’s 42-6 loss to Hull KR.
Saints were able to downgrade the ban to two matches on appeal, meaning Makinson will be available for the club’s last home game in September at home to Castleford Tigers.
