The coward that went toe to toe with Jamie Peacock at the Magic Weekend,i thought it was funny when Dwyer was getting treatment and MM was laughing

All seems fair enough to me. How long should Joel get if found guilty?'"
8 matches at least

| I remember McIlorum punching Elima when we played Catalans as well. Elima took one look at him and dropped to his knee holding his head. Didn't he batter a Wakey prop this season as well? Think it was a cup game but memory could be playing tricks.

| Quote: NickyKiss "The lad is a maniac and would happily do it to anybody. Anybody who thinks different would be wise to go back and watch the Magic game against Leeds in 2014 when it all kicked off. Jamie Peacock took the first carry after an all in brawl and Micky Mac tried to smash him in to next week. The way the Leeds players just took that last Friday was a real shock. Somebody has to get in to McIlorum there and show people they’ve got each other’s backs.'"
Pisses me off to this day that Peacock walked away the apparent victim of all that.
He changes the angle of his run to go after MM and shoves his elbow straight in his throat. Micky rightfully gives him a few digs back while Ryan Bailey runs around pointing and John Bateman goes after anyone that's moving.

Think that may be the one instead of Warea-Hargreaves. Getting myself confused although I do recall him going after JWH in the same game.

As a Rhinos fan (and from way outside the M62 corridor originally) McIlorum's actions and Leeds' lack of response are two separate issues - having watched Leeds for years they just seem a bit polite and nice and whereas I was massively disappointed they were all passive afterwards, I am also not surprised. McIlorum going after the smallest bloke twice gives some indication on his outlooks but I know if I was on the pitch when something like that happened and someone was trying to drag my teammate up on his feet after when he looks away with the fairies I would have totally lost it, even though I am soft as.
It's just the principle of the whole thing. Don't go dragging people up who have dropped to the floor after a hit on the head / neck and who are out of it - he could have had a brain / neck / spine / airway issue or anything. But McIlorum wanted him to get up on his feet as it would make his hit look less bad 'see, you are fine and just being soft'.
The hit is terrible but it what McIlorum does next and Leeds offering no reaction to it that is worst. It is that lack of speaking up / standing ground when putting a pal at risk of all sorts of potential physical health issues (no one had had chance to check him) that really disappoints me.

Leeds don't have any enforcers anymore that are capable of going toe to toe with Mickey Mac,I'd go as far as saying it's one of the softest packs around in super league,you could do a lot worse than sign Liam Watts as a new pack leader

| I think we're kidding ourselves if we think it would have been that much different if it happened to us. All they do now is push and shove until they eventually split up. I doubt that would bother McIlorum much.

| A Leeds fan calling out MM for hitting small players when they had Ryan Bailey and Carl Ablett for years, and then signed Brett Ferres.
As has been pointed out, MM will hit anyone.

Yes the very same Brett Ferres that did all he could to injure Oliver Gildart a couple of years ago

| I'm still unclear about JT. What did he do exactly? The incident wasn't shown on the highlights as I recall (MM's was). I did watch the live game, but it seemed unclear; they didn't make that much of it at the time.

The high shot was bad enough for a red, there was no need to try and drag Dwyer up the way he did. Thats not being hard or tough. The ref and video ref need pulling up for their lack of action.

Put his finger up Richie Myler's booty (allegedly).
