Hope Leeds fine him, after missing half the season injured, he then does that and puts himself out for a further 5-6 games. Utterly stupid.

What a fool. Given our problems at prop this really hits us hard. We moan because Thompson plays every week, but he only does that because the supposed first choice options keep getting injured and suspended.

Don’t think we’ll be seeing Tom for a while.

Not to condone it or anything but that’s a cracking right hand

Even if provoked that is brainless.

Along with his injuries I now hope we move him on this year

Re: 2022 | Injuries & Suspensions : Mon May 23, 2022 9:28 am  

Personally I am sick to death of the this brainless, selfish indiscipline.

Its time these players took some responsibility, they do nothing but let their team mates down.

Stupid and he will learn from that.
But to suggest we move him on is a joke.
We have needed some aggression from our forwards and I don`t recall many wanting Barry Mac moving on when he used to get involved.
It might make a few others realise he isn`t going to be a pushover.
He`s young and reacted and I`m sure he will learn.
Has Bentley been fined by the club yet?

Suggesting moving a young prop on because he lost his rag (I don’t remember him doing anything like this before) is just daft.

He’s young, he’ll learn

Also Holroyd apparently the victim of a squirrel grip that caused the whole fracas. While still not justification to react like he did, it does provide an explanation. Let's see what the disciplinary brings.

Re: 2022 | Injuries & Suspensions : Mon May 23, 2022 10:28 am  

Completely understand how he reacted. Is young and had awful luck with injuries. Think it was probably a release of all the frustration. We have nothing to play for this season and will not miss him as hasn’t played yet anyway.

Re: 2022 | Injuries & Suspensions : Mon May 23, 2022 10:34 am  

Aren't we three points off the play offs? We have lots to play for.

I am sure there is a reason why Holroyd became upset but he needs to be professional and realise the ramifications of his actions. One punch is bad enough but 3-4 if not more is ridiculous. Following his 1st punch, he had several players run at him and rather than just push them away, he punched anything that approached him. There was a Newcastle player who appeared to punch Holroyd from behind: he should get a very long ban.

I would not be getting rid of Holroyd because he has the potential to be a great prop but I'd be giving him a warning. I would be fining Bentley and Tetevano for repeated offences too.

Re: 2022 | Injuries & Suspensions : Mon May 23, 2022 10:36 am  

Given how few games Leeds have the next few weeks I guess he's better off serving time as a Bulls player rather than a Leeds one? Should knock at least one game off it (from a Leeds first team point of view) looking at the relative schedules. Anyone know how that works?
