Kirke is still in hospital. Not sure how bad his injury is just yet.

It was his milk bottle he threw the big headed baby

.
As for kirke,im sure we all wish him a quick recovery.i dont understand why he had to wait to send him off ,if the offence was bad then why wasnt it an instant red?

Anderson not happy with the ref decision either...changing his mind 10mins later!

anderson thinks it was a clash of heads..

this will become the talking point now, shame really on a big effort from the giants

O'Donnell twice told Alibert that it was a clash of heads. One thing it wasn't was either his elbow or his forearm. He hit him with the shoulder. He would've had to be double jointed to hit him with anything else. It was a good clean hit. In Ice Hockey they would've called it a North-Souther. Hope Kirke's ok but the day we stop hits like that is the day I stop watching.

If it proves to be clash of heads or fair hit and nothing gets done against the BENT and CORRUPT RFL will be the day I stop watching!!

Asked Danny McGuire how kirk was on way back after half time. Said he was fine - just precautionary checks etc. Thierry bottled it as usual and changed his decision when he thought it was more serious.
The difference today was...
Lod
Brough as captain
Fewer errors
Fewer penalties
And a team spirit

A very pleasant surprise today - and will keep me happy and optimistic over the winter
Can we repeat vs hull ?

it was hetherington, he spat the dummy out and went down to the linesman and changed his mind....

Apparently various club officials watched the video quite a few times. The only conclusion they came to was that it was a clash of heads.

Albert was stood 2 yards away and waved play on!

i think Whingfield and the Whinos fans had a lot to do with Alibert changing his mind, he was put under pressure from them.

Great effort from all the team today, always good to see rhinos fans leaving twenty minutes before full time. Thought Mason had a solid game today. What happened to him to cause the bandages? but can't fault him carried on playing and making some good yards

Yeah Mason clearly had his nose smashed...no penalty there then?

Tbf code it could have happened by his own teammate kneeing him in a tackle for instance.
Leeds completely missed a trick today- with a man down we should have seen a plethora of cut out passes and quick ptb- instead the midget just ran sideways along our line and a forward trundled it up the middle. Leroy was down as FB but grix played there for the majority he wasn't put under any pressure at all from kicks.
Our outside backs completely outplayed theirs and our backing up today was great.

The one thing that made the difference today- lack of errors!
