And what did Mathers do to King?

Poleaxed him - I've been waiting for ages to use that word

So, a clothesline then, or a punch?

Didn't he miss one against leeds last season, around this time?

Ah.

The Mathers one seems to be just really bad technique on Richie's part. From the sound of it Westwood can have no such excuse, and didn't show any concern, unlike Mathers.

The tackle was a bit agricultural.

Higham hit Carlaw around the middle, Westwood was over the top of that - a long way over the top of it.

Jumping into a tackle with a swinging arm is pretty reckless, erring towards malicious and what Westwood followed up with appeared pretty distasteful. It didn't look like he was asking him if he was alright.

Fakir cleaned Morley out with another questionable hit and that one didn't even earn a penalty.

As for our referee for next week...... look out. It's gonna be a war.

Mathers always seems genuinely concerned when he’s high tacked another player. Westwood showed no remorse whatsoever tonight. I would have been walking off the field expecting a yellow card. But this is what happens when you let a total wank3r like Lowes coach your club - no respect for the game whatsoever.

he should get banned for about 3 to 4 games with that.. but knowing they play leeds in two week, he will get a one match ban.

You must all be exaggerating. The Beeb didn't think it was worth showing.

Unlike the Catalan lads high shot.
