Salford Red Devils have lost Shane Wright to injury.
It came as Matty Lees caught him high as they contested a loose ball and after which Mark Wilson remarked: “Salford fans are not happy.”
Kyle Amor meanwhile noted that it perhaps evened out an earlier decision but said Lees was lucky to not receive a card:
“Sometimes these things even themselves out. Saints fans will not be happy about Jonny Lomax potentially being taken out before a try at the other end and Matty Lees is quite lucky there as well.”
Wilson meanwhile said that Wright was lucky it wasn’t a more serious injury describing it as foul play:
“As well, Shane Wright is incredibly lucky because another centimetre or so that ankle could have been busted.
“He is in a bad way anyway but it could have been a whole lot worse.
“Salford fans are not happy because there looked to be a bit of foul play in there.”
Amor did defend Lees noting it was a fraction of a second:
“I think Matty Lees is trying to advance on the ball you are talking fractions of a second.”
