Leeds' Rhyse Martin is "sick of wasting energy" on controversial disciplinary talk.
All his efforts now are trained on dethroning champions St Helens. The Australian second-row returns to action in Saturday's Betfred Super League Grand Final after being forced to sit out his club’s two play-off games. He was handed a one-match ban for a high tackle on Alex Mellor that even the Castleford player felt wasn’t even a penalty.
But when Leeds challenged the ruling Martin saw his suspension doubled for a ‘frivolous’ appeal. To make matters worse, St Helens saw their loose forward Morgan Knowles have his two-game ban for a dangerous contact wiped out completely on a second appeal this week so he’s free to play tomorrow.
