As long as you remember this thread wasn't started by a Leeds fan bragging about how Garbutt "owned" someone etc......

That's how a fight should be delt with two yellow cards.

That said its a carbon copy of the garbutt incident so should be a couple of bans, but who knows with the RFL

It was completely different.

If Blair had just come in and sucker punched Burns then fair enough.

It's not a carbon copy, however if the HRK player had knocked Burns on his backside with a single punch would he have gotten a red card to Burns' yellow?

Had Garbutt's punch not been so good and Tamou was able to swing back would they have both gotten yellows?

According to Stuart Cummings on Twitter after the game - yes! Here is his direct quote

SC: I suppose it's the quality of the punches that counts. Man-to-man confrontation usually ends up a sin bin.

I see that Leeds fans have jumped on their high horse and are now up in arms about Liam Farrell.

Meanwhile scrolling through this forum reveals many of the SAME fans were justifying and defending Mitch Garbutt for punching a man who wasnt looking!
