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.

| Quote: Jamie101 "Quote: Jamie101 "I was shocked the Leeds players didn't pile into him after that. Would be disappointed if that happened to a Wigan player and no one did anything.
On redvee they've all decided McIlorum is a coward who wouldn't dare try that on anyone bigger than Dwyer. Not that I'm condoning what he did but I thought that was hilarious.'"
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.'"
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.

| Bateman loves the push and shove/verbals style confrontation we see nowadays but he does look like he knows he’d get battered if one of the big guys was let loose on him. He’s very aware of what’s going on around him, who is on his team backing him up and the fact that you’re pretty well protected by the rules IMO.
Micky Mac on the other hand=absolute nutter! He looks dead behind his eyes when he gets in that mode he was in on Friday night and anybody who thinks he is a guy who bullies small players is living in a dream land. He’s small himself and throws himself in to anybody with the force he hit Dwyer with. People saying he wouldn’t go toe to toe with big guys, should ask the question why no big guys go toe to toe with him? There is a reason not one Leeds player went after him on Friday and that is because his reputation goes before him. There aren’t many out and out hard men in the game anymore, probably because it’s not allowed but Micky Mac is one. He’s a throwback really and as we’ll see with his upcoming ban, that style isn’t allowed anymore.

How odd. I thought it must have been an elbow into the face or something, the way people were talking.
I don't see why you'd want to do that, in a non-romantic context. He certainly is a charmless individual.

Either I`m missing the point or you are.
I`m referring to you saying we have grubs like Bailey, Ablett and Ferres and have come back with the grubs in my opinion you have/had playing for you.
I`m not for one minute suggesting your players would run away and hide far from it.
In the case of Bailey and Ablett they are nothing but wind up merchants.
No doubt you will think your players are all pretty innocent whilst I disagree each to their own opinion.
