Wellens rant

Wellens not happy with John Asiata of Leigh, injured 4x players due to his tackling technique apparently. No bans. Reeckons the RFL/Disciplinary have failed in their duty of care to players. I've seen footage of the tackle on Paasi, I thought it was ok? 

 

Saints use every loophole possible to get their players out of bans. 

 

Sore losers or valid points?

We've crossed swords in the past, but on this occasion, I agree with you.

I too saw nowt wrong with the tackle(s) but as I've mentioned on a Leythers' thread, a few / lot (all?) Saints would've seen it differently, coz (and repeating myself yet again) we're all biased to our own team, and I'm no diff with the Lions.

One fan's hard tackler, is another fan's dirty *******, and I seem to recall a certain Chemic with the initials of KS, carrying that tag with some aplomb for a goodly length of time!

On that thread, one Leopard has described Wellens as being "Cunningham Mark II" ie coming into the top job after being "one of the lads" for years. Does he have a point, with Saints being in iffy form this season?

Leigh have been a breath of fresh air this year, and as well as being at Wembley, they're very handily placed on the ladder.

Spelly.

You've only got to listen to any Saints fans at the moment to understand the pressure he's under. I don't think he'll be there next season. The team needs a bit of work on it, there's a few over the hill there.
