St Helens will be without Dream Team loose-forward Morgan Knowles for Saturday’s Grand Final against Leeds Rhinos after his challenge to a two-match ban failed.
A tribunal upheld the match review panel’s decision to issue a two-game penalty notice for grade B dangerous contact in last weekend’s semi-final win over Salford Red Devils.
Knowles was sin-binned after appearing to twist one of Salford stand-off Chris Atkins’ arms behind his back.
However, the panel did not feel Knowles’ appeal was ‘frivolous’ so his ban remains at two games.
