Byrne in danger: Possible ban for head contact

The Dropout

LeagueNews.co | Cooper McEnroe

In a classic showdown between Wigan Warriors and St Helens, prop Liam Byrne is facing a potential five-game ban for his involvement in a head contact incident that shook the rugby league world.

Byrne, a 24-year-old powerhouse on the field, was shown a red card after a collision with St Helens' Mark Percival during their intense battle, resulting in Percival failing a crucial head injury assessment.

On the flip side, St Helens' own Matty Lees, a formidable force in the front row, has also been sidelined for two games due to a Grade C charge stemming from the same match.

The Match Review Panel didn't hold back in their assessment, placing Lees at the harsher end of the grade scale.

As the dust settles on this heated rivalry clash, the rugby league community holds its breath to see how these suspensions will impact the upcoming games.

Will Byrne bounce back stronger than ever after his ban, or will St Helens feel the absence of Lees on their lineup? Only time will tell in this unpredictable world of sport.
