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 suppose that you could say that Joel is up S**t creek without a paddle

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).

I really don`t get this obsession with Bails and Ablett.
Neither could knock the skin off a rice pudding.
They were panto villains at best who would wind up the opposition but were certainly not hard men.
For the players you mention at Leeds I will raise you Tomkins, Bateman, McIllourum, Head high SOL and of course Flower to name a few.

Probably the only thing I would agree with is MM will hit anyone.
The guys a nutter and this is coming from me who has links and supported Queens in the past

That's what he means, thanks for proving his point.
Other Leeds fan calling Mickey mac out for only picking on small players, when he obviously doesnt.
Whilst ignoring the fact that theyve lauded more than their fair share of grubs, wind up merchants, cheap shot exponents of their own.
Most of whom wouldn't stand toe tontoe with Mickey Mac

Tomkins apart, I would back all the others you name to stand up to anyone.

When have any of those ran away from a fight? Bateman would start one in an empty room.

I haven't seen any of the players you have named cheap shot someone and then go and hide behind the nearest half back.
