Saints to Lose Key Player as RFL Upholds Moses Mbye’s One-Game Suspension Ahead of Derby Clash Against Wigan Warriors
The League Leaders’ Shield may be decided by the outcome of this match, which is always very important because a Wigan victory would make it difficult for the Red Vee to overtake them from such a distance. The Saints prevailed last time out, but given their poor run, this may be different.
Mbye was charged with category B Dangerous Contact, the highest category, after making late contact on Tex Hoy during St Helens’ thrilling 8-6 loss to the Castleford Tigers. As a result, St Helens had to give rookie hooker Jake Burns his maiden Super League start, and Daryl Clark was probably out due to injury after missing the match against Castleford. This week, numerous charges have been brought against Wigan Warriors players. Luke Thompson and Mike Cooper were each fined £250 and charged with Grade B offenses, specifically for Dangerous Contact and Head Contact, respectively. The Warriors will suffer a significant setback after Brad O’Neill was given a one-match ban for a Grade B Dangerous Throw/Lift.
