[quote:1pqtnbtj]Every player in our squad could probably earn more money with another club. But they prefer to sacrifice a few extra quid in their back pocket to share special memories. And playing at a place like Old Trafford on a night like this makes it all worthwhile.[/quote:1pqtnbtj]

'"
I'm a Leeds fan. My view of the Hohoia/Flower incident is unbiased, unlike yours. In fact, between Wigan and Saints I've far less ill will towards Saints. We always beat you in finals, unlike Wigan.
However, I've changed my mind on one thing. Hohoia deserved the second smack. He was a grubby little player around the ruck and if you act like he did during his time in Super league these things tend to come to you. |

I don't think Willie Mason is capable of ending anyone's career these days as he did that evening in Sydney. The Subway Franchisee was never the same after that. |

As long as you remember this thread wasn't started by a Leeds fan bragging about how Garbutt "owned" someone etc...... |

That's how a fight should be delt with two yellow cards.
That said its a carbon copy of the garbutt incident so should be a couple of bans, but who knows with the RFL

It was completely different.
If Blair had just come in and sucker punched Burns then fair enough. |

It's not a carbon copy, however if the HRK player had knocked Burns on his backside with a single punch would he have gotten a red card to Burns' yellow?
Had Garbutt's punch not been so good and Tamou was able to swing back would they have both gotten yellows?

According to Stuart Cummings on Twitter after the game - yes! Here is his direct quote
SC: I suppose it's the quality of the punches that counts. Man-to-man confrontation usually ends up a sin bin. |

I see that Leeds fans have jumped on their high horse and are now up in arms about Liam Farrell.
Meanwhile scrolling through this forum reveals many of the SAME fans were justifying and defending Mitch Garbutt for punching a man who wasnt looking!

Pacific, this was my contribution to this thread, seeing as i have several posts on the Farrell thread can you please point out who is actually defending Garbutt?
