Quote: El Diablo "Not sure what McDermott actually said that's got your back up. He said he'd like to see it again. To me the way Hardaker fell (regardless of cause) suggested that he was out of it for a moment or so.'"
McDermott said that Rangi "clearly knocked the kid out".
He clearly didn't, and AFAIK McDermott has yet to retract or apologise for his accusation.
Either way it's done with now.. certain individuals have (in my view) got away with fitting a player up and getting him banned and, as I said, I doubt there'll be any appeal. All we can hope for is that if Bradford or Catalans manage to finish above Leeds this season, it'll be by the two points they'll probably now get as a gimmie after Cas have been denied their playmaker.
