Jon Wilkin slammed the decision to not send Sam Walters from the field in the major flash point during Leeds Rhinos' controversial victory over St Helens. With the game poised at 24 apiece in the closing minutes, Jack Welsby was penalised for retaliating after the Rhinos prop produced an alleged shoulder charge on Matty Lees.
The incident took place 40 metres off the Leeds line and in a central position. Had the penalty gone Saints' way, they would have had an opportunity to kick for goal and take the lead in the closing minutes.
But Chris Kendall instead gave Leeds the penalty for Welsby's reaction and after Konrad Hurrell was sent off for a shoulder to the head of Richie Myler, Blake Austin landed a drop goal 14 seconds from time to secure Leeds their first win against St Helens in 13 attempts.
