Ok lots of fiction from you there:

O’Donnell made contact with Leeds Rhinos’ Ian Kirke in the 16th minute which left the Rhinos second rower on the floor for a further 15 minutes before being stretchered off.

However the situation escalated into a farce after Alibert spoke directly to O’Donnell, and supposedly put the Huddersfield back rower on report. While Kirke was still being treated, Anderson brought off O’Donnell and replaced him with Larne Patrick.

But five minutes later as Kirke was being taken off the field and sent directly to hospital, Alibert consulted with his touch judge and demanded O’Donnell be brought back onto the field and the previous interchange be reversed. He then showed O’Donnell the red card.

It was shown at the panel that it was a clash of heads and not the forearm and LOD was let off. However the rep of the player and the fact the coach tried to remove the player before the incident had been resolved did not help.

Yes on this occasion.

Point being some players are classed as guilty due to there previous conduct on the field just like our Mr nice friendly Bailey and not a conspiracy by refs against clubs like the giants like some supporters seem to think.

What a load of absolute rot.

Nowt to do with the fact that the ref saw nothing wrong with the challenge until Sinfield decided he wwas going to tell the Ref to send LOD off because his team mate was injured, therefore in Sir Kevs eyes it must have been foul play !!

He wasn't 'let off' as he had nothing to be let off from.

mcdermott sayin on mcguire 'someone decided to punch him and he was defending himself-and he got a black eye as a result of it'

who punched mcguire before he started throwing?!

Ablett?

ha no he was talking about mcguire

Think he means Leroy, though i dont think Leroy started ...mcguire was giving him some uppercuts in the melee before Leroy clogged him.

yeh thats what i mean, no one threw a punch at mcguire until he threw his. mcdermott talking rubbish

That's the way I read it! Justifying Mcguire hitting Leroy as it was self defence....the bloody clown! McGuire thought someone kneed him in the head threw some at Leroy so Leroy lamped the daft bugger!

First time I have ever seen anyone with three black eyes.
