where has this idea come from that a bite occurred? Ive looked at the footage and can see no evidence of one. If it is the case hes been bitten then Hardaker should inform the disciplinary, evidence supplied and Connor should be banned. If its just a load of guff from leeds fans then that's pretty sad tbh.

Love the selective reading that's going on. Bite what bite, nobody ever mentioned a bite?!



Hardaker did a Ben Flower though! Should of seen it. Wasn't a little shove at all, forget MayPac & Vegas, The (Insert Huddsfields new 1 years stadium deal sponsor name here) stadium is where its at.

im not sure I get your humour.

All these Rhinos complaining about dissent towards an official is laughable, have they forgotten Sinfield already!

McGuire was worse than Brough yesterday, then there's Hardacre who's track record is atrocious and I could easily link a you tube video of Peacock using foul and possibly homophobic language towards a ref which was conveniently ignored even though it did the rounds on Twitter at the time.

I have some sympathy with Brough regarding the decision in question, the rule itself is a farce and penalises good defence. Even then the Leeds players feet didn't lose contact with the ground and no defender was dragging towards the touchline.

It you're on twitter search for it. There are a couple of picks. Also on Facebook there is a video. MAYBE, just MAYBE, Hardaker wants to keep his head down. He has been a bad lad himself and has faced a lot of abuse over spur of the moment incidents. Having first hand of that maybe he doesn't want to land Connor in hot water.

Show me a clip where is Sinfield shouts at any official in the aggressive tantrum style of Danny Brough! Please show me!

Thats right you cannot.

Sinfield is the upmost professional, yes he questions the referee but as already aluded to, which captain doesn't?






I guess you're referring to the word 'Bent'? Which can be a homophobic terms but also can be a term for corrupt. Both are wrong, one far worse than the other. You don't know which one he meant and neither does anyone else. Im not defending him in any way what so ever, just stating facts.




Oh so players can treat him like a fu**ing dog? What planet do you live on?





I beg to differ. Thats laughable.

I cant recall DM having a paddy and making an effort to stand in front of a referee who is clearly ignoring him. Again feel free to correct me with your favoured youtube.




Oh so you condone aggressive conduct towards match officials? But above you have slated 4 Rhinos players for their behaviour?

The Irony meter has gone through the roof!!!!

Brough is the captain he can talk to the ref.

Just the same as Mcguire was doing lastnight.

we all know how much Brough wants to win, he is the ultimate competitor and it gets the better of him sometimes, still id rather have him in our side than on the opposite side.

we have had the rough end of some decisions this season already, shows no sign of turning yet

Correct. Key word, TALK. No scream and shout TALK.

And here for some honesty: I would have Brough at Leeds for his playing ability. If you forget Sinfields legacy then Id swap him for Sinfield right now. Huddersfield are lucky to have him. However I really would be embarrassed by his dummy spits.

You may have been at the rough end of some calls but didn't you have 7 penalties in a row prior to this? So that cannot really be taken into account.

Sometimes broughy does go over the top and i find myself urging him to just walk away and calm down. But in a tight game like last night were you think you've been wronged then ofc you're you'd have a go and let your emotions go. It's professional sport and the consequences of a win vs a loss are massive to these guys! Think Silverwood has used some common sense and empathy and handled it well from what I've seen watching it back on telly, calmly explains his decision which is a close call but ultimately right.

It's not a close call. It's a clear penalty. The second Watkins lends weight to the tackle then the player is held and the tackle is complete. The defenders have to stop, in the same way as if Keinhorst's ball carrying arm had hit the ground.

There's no reason for Brough to be so outraged about a clear decision. He should be annoyed at himself and his teammates for not paying attention to what's going on.

As mentioned by others, he's a cracking player, but he shouldn't be allowed to talk to officials in that manner. The TJ shouldve had the balls to go onto the pitch and report it to Silverwood and make him punish Brough in some way. Another 10m downfield would be appropriate in my opinion.

Nobody is disputing that Brough should be able to query decisions with the referee.

If you can't see the difference though between the way he confronted the TJ and his conversation 30 seconds later with Silverwood that was caught on ref cam, you're an idiot.

I'm afraid that in your haste to have a go you've completely lost your thread haven't you!

Where have I said that Sinfield shouts at the official in an aggressive tantrum?
I simply said that Rhino fans have quickly forgotten Sinfield who constantly questioned and challenged officials throughout most matches, to the point of dissent.

Yes amongst the other words used by Peacock, I am referring to that word. You'll also note I used the word "possibly"

Are you saying it's more palatable to accuse a referee of being corrupt than to suggest he's gay? Is it OK for Peacock to use the F word in such an aggressive manner that he actually spits and slavers in the direction of the referee?

Here's where you lose it a little, I'm not suggesting anything of the sort re how Hardaker gets treated, merely suggesting that Rhino fans having a go at Brough is a bit laughable considering the Leeds fullbacks atrocious record.


IMO McGuire was worse because he was after the referee constantly throughout the 80 minutes! Again where have I suggested that he had a paddy or indeed where in my post have I said Brough having a paddy is acceptable.

In relation to my sympathy, Im talking about the rules of the game not being breached and therefore IMO it's not a penalty.
Where did I say it was right for Brough to shout at the referee?

By the way I live in the real world not the blue and yellow tinted one you live in.

Now take a breath and THINK it through before responding.
