Anyone know how bad is injury is? Never nice to see a player like that lets hope he is ok
as for the contact,it looked a big hit from where i was but havent seen the replay yet so cant really comment on it.
As for kirke im sure we all hope he is ok.

Still in hospital according to the last twitter update.
Get well soon Kirkey lad.

Nice of O'Donnell to salute and applaud the fans when he's initially been substituted. What a guy. Hope Captain's ok.

That would suggest he feels he has done nothing wrong and is confident he has no charge to face.

I will reserve judgement until I see a replay.

He looked in a really bad way. Both sets if doctors and a stretcher. Saw an ambulance arrive about 5 mins after he went up the tunnel. Hope the lad is alright.

Strangest red card i've ever seen, not sure what happened with the hit as i missed it and whether or not it was a deserved dismissal but how can you send someone off 10 mins later after you've already given him a warning and he's then been allowed to be subsituted?

clash of heads... according to anderson

The whole scenario sums up Alibert as an official if it's a wrong call either way he still butchered it will be interesting to see if UBER ref Cummings has any comment to make.

Alibert is a joke, not him nor the touch judges saw anything in the initial collision,no penalty was given, LOD was given a warning but then i think someone,other than sinfield, had a word with the official and whoever pulled the strings, changed aliberts "mind".lile i said if it was a bad challenge then why did the officials not pull LOD up straight away?
Despite kirke's injury that was the gamebreaker, whoever got LOD sent off won the game for us.

When the incident was mentioned on the radio they said it was the touch-judge childs.

Saying on Leeds website that he's cleared of any serious injury and been discharged from hospital. Not having much luck this year Mr Kirke, suffered a similiar incident away at Warrington.

An official came on the field to talk to halibut, just before he sent off, goading the fans with a fellow proffesional laying prostate knocked out on the pitch, whether warned subbed or anything is way out of order, well what can I say, quality guy not, we dont need disprespectful actions like this in our game.

He will get what he deserves if it is foul play coz like almost everyone else I did not see it what happened.

Get well soon kirky lad !!

Main thing is Hope Ian Kirke is ok.

Would like to say in all my years of watching RL I have not seen a player brought back onto the pitch to get a redcard on the say so of the 4th official when the ref and both touch judges saw nothing wrong.

If as suspected it was a clash of heads then heads at the BENT RFL should roll, Bo ifs and buts, they get far too much wrong, the best team on the day should win the game end of. Far too often the officials have too much say in who wins and today could of been one of those occasions!!!

I was told by someone who was a bit closer than me that there was nothing wrong with the tackle and the red was for a punch on ablett, not sure how much of that is true though

Wonder if something happened when he got back to the subs bench as some offical did run on to tell Alibert and the red card followed. I've seen it once or twice in football where a subsitute has been sent off for something that has happened on the sidelines.

The post obscured the tackle from where we were sat but it didnt look good at all LOD and the giants fans showed their class as he walked from the pitch did hear Anderson say it was a clash of heads on the radio on the way home to me it sounded like Shaun Wane defending Micky Macs red card on friday It was a huge loss for us losing the in form Kirke so early in the game and think the delay it caused and seeing there mate in such a position didnt do our lads any good at all Hope Kirkeys ok for next week coz we definately need him

Sounds like that post obscured quite alot of your view of today's game, can't of been sent off for the punch otherwise Peacock would have been going with him!!!

Never seen such a set of crybabys in all my born days, Sinfield is captain so allowed to speak with ref but by god doesn't he make the most of it.

Moaning sod every time decision went against Leeds, as for JJB grow a pair, looked like a baby chucking teddy out of cot when the waterbottle felt his anger when didn't get his way.

Diddums, jeez you had 65 minutes with a man extra and still couldn't win, can see Wakey finishing the job next week, take that post with you!!

Classy. Stick to trying to find the source of immortality for Uncle Ken, because once he goes so do you.

We win when it matters, you should know that by now. Brough was worse than Sam Tomkins in the moaning stakes today, hope someone gives him a good one on the chin at Hull next week the illiterate little scrote. Enjoy your meaningless 2 points but don't be booking your Grand Final tickets daft lad.

good to hear kirke is ok

o'donnell clearly wondered where bailey was today so he picked on the next biggestlad



mcdermott not complaining much about the 'incident' is he, maybe he thinks the red card was harsh too deep down

Surely you and the RFL wouldn't want that to happen, remember Bradford Bulls!!! ;0)

He would have needed his padded shorts on if Bailey had played, proper sat him on his 'arris last time. What made it even funnier was that he was Nathans hitman but turned out to be a horizontal heavyweight.

Don't worry our season ended in May and no one getting carried away couldn't beat an egg at the moment

IIRC Bailey hasn't managed to make 1 appointment with LOD since?

Has Hetherington gone running to the RFL yet?
