Thats right its just a cop out for refs.

Full intent by Amor pulled his arm back to swing the haymaker simple as.

I think Amor should be banned. He was already angry as Matt Ryan ran at him when he had his back turned. It was sheer frustration on Amor's part and a bit out of character from him.

The Lomax incident was pathetic to say the least. I actually liked Lomax and have been been an advocate of his. However, he knew exactly what he was doing yesterday. Im not saying he didn't get caught. Although he did slip. I think Lomax stayed down for the pen and milked every second. Funny how he got up once Ali got put on report.

Does this condone a red card???????????????????????????????????

Not according to Mr (aptly named) Hicks who was contacted by an irate fan

The referees reply is below:

my view was that contact was not direct to head, am sure they'll look in the morning and see if it was straight to jaw

Result: Dixon broken Jaw out for ????????

McHoodlum: 3 matches

And the RFl wonder why fans despair of match day officials

Absolutely - another one of those indefensible ones that certain players have a knack for; McIlorum is one of the biggest houses in SL, so it's no surprise to see him involved.

Amor's haymaker swinging arm to Ryan's head was clearly violent conduct and should also be banned as Wilkin should very brave smashing a winger.

I wonder if Riley and Ryan had been injured from these fouls would the RFL had looked back at the footage like they did for Collis with the Bradford player and give bans to both Wilkin and Amor?

How exactly will banning Amor and Wilkin benefit US?

not a jot, that's rugby league!

I see poore is up before the disip com too

Not much help to us .But at least Ali in the clear

Think you missed of Tim Roby - Grade F - Deliberately obstructing Wakefield from winning - 10-20 game ban. I'd rather have that then either St Helen's player being banned

Well I've just watched it on SL Full Time and for me he's lucky to get away with a Grade B - It was a shocker and quite deliberate.
Have you seen it yet? Still think it wasn't that bad???

I haven't seen it yet. At the game I wasn't convinced it was a bad one but if I've got it wrong I'll say so. The Wilkin one was stupid from him and he deserves a ban.

No send of this morning for Storm player with dumping Newcastle player on his head.
Turns out Alex McKinnon has fractures to C4& C5 vertebrae, not sure on spinal cord damage yet.
Cameron Smith was heard complaing to ref blaming McKinnon for tucking his head in.
An awful looking tackle that has turned out much worse.

I've just watched it again. Looks bad. My comments yesterday now look a tad silly thanks to Mr.Amor. Quite clearly deserves a ban.

If this blatant, cynical and dangerous attack of the head doesn't constitute a red card then I have no idea what does. It was as bad as Morley against the Aussies. I like Amor but that swinging arm was indefensible and I have no idea how Roby failed to show him the red card. Spineless.

Not quite!

And to those suggesting Lomax milked a penalty: he has yet to do that in the whole of his Saints first team career so it's just ridiculous. He clearly hit his head when he slipped: his feet shot from underneath him, which no doubt at first sight looked like a big whack from Lautiti but which in fact was Lomax just going splat on the floor. If you hit your head on the floor without any means of breaking your fall you will be dazed. Hence he took a little time to get up.

As for Amor's shot: that was awful. I have no idea why he wasn't sent off. I didn't know his reputation previously but I hope that isn't the start of something we would rather not have. We have enough to deal with in Jon Wilkin who has now left us without an organising halfback of any description for the most important game of our season so far plus Leeds. I haven't seen Wilkin's tackle but I can imagine it because I saw the one he was banned for last year.

Amor is eligible for EGP and Saints usually claim it and move on. But Wilkin isn't eligible as he was banned 11 months ago and so he'll get two matches. If his tackle was anything like Amor's then he deserves it.

However, us fans don't.

Seen super league full time now and yes amors was a shocker.I never thought the lad had that side to his game. If ali's was a high tackle we may as well all give up on the game.

Totally agree.
Amor didn't enjoy being pushed just after the ptb and responded with a "haymaker".
Straight red, no messing, all day long, but not at Wakefield with a clown reffing the game.

As far as the Ali challenge goes, what else was he supposed to do, Lomax slipped into contact.

I wasn't happy on Sunday but, second viewing is even worse.

There should be plenty of apologies from our friends in St Helens who tried to defend Amor and Lomax recovery was of biblical proportions, it's a miracle !

The referee should be banned along with Amor and Wilkin. He was an absolute joke especially not sending off Amor when he was in close proximity to the punch being thrown.

Just seen this and its nothing short of sickening. Horrendous position for someone to be put in. And even with all the officials and video replay im amazed how nobody was sent off.

Best idea so far but we both know that won't happen
