Gardiner was kicking but was collected late by Crouch, with the bump connecting with Gardiner's head. Gardiner played out the match after spending some time on the bench in the hands of the trainers.

With one game left in the home and away season and the Saints' finals chances all but over, Crouch could be done for 2022.
