I have been a supporter for more years then I can own upto, the game last night was ok not a classic. The sport is slowly killing itself with inept management and wierd disciplinary actions, this recent one has caused mayhem with most species at odds with the final decision. Knowles who was at 13 last night for saints was found to have used an illegal chicken wing tackle in the semi last week. The usual penalty is 2+ matches, not this time after a first for the sport, two appeals. The second overturned it as being ' flawed' madness, many other players have had bans for less yhen he did.
The sport is £25 million in debt and the only really big income is for super league on Sky, the future is grim with falling gates, sponsorship and a management not fit for purpose.
