Nathan Brown launched an extraordinary attack on rugby league match officials after watching his side claim their first win at Headingley since October 1960.

Leeds prop Ryan Bailey and Huddersfield loose forward Luke O'Donnell were both sent off midway through the first half after an all-in brawl sparked by Bailey's off-the-ball challenge on Kevin Brown.

Referee Ben Thaler first dismissed Bailey before giving O'Donnell, complete with ripped shirt, his marching orders.

O'Donnell increased the temperature by goading Leeds fans on his way off the field but Brown was left outraged by what he'd seen.

Brown raged: "It was disgraceful. Luke O'Donnell has run in and hasn't thrown a punch. Kevin Brown got hit late (by Bailey), which the referee saw, then he got picked up and punched. Luke should have run in and knocked him (Bailey) out. That's what he should have done.

"If key players get hit late, you're supposed to get frigging sent off. It's an absolute disgrace. The officials have got to start doing something about it or you've got to tell your players to do it.

"He's actually playing well too is Bailey, but the sh*t in his game… O'Donnell should have knocked him out cold and given him some more.

"Next time we're playing, if they start hitting Kevin high, that's what I'll be instructing Luke to do unless the officials start growing some cahoonas and do something about it. It's the third frigging week in a row.

"You've got an obligation to protect your players. If my players did it, I'd expect them to get sent off. It's a frigging disgrace."

wow!!!! actually think hes right though, if no one will protect the backs what else can you do! hopefully LOD will not get a ban if this is the case. must be right though if brown stating it after such a good win!

Don't beat around the bush Nathan, say what you really think

hes got it spot on imo it was obvious that leeds tatics in the 2nd half was to take kev out and if thaler had been owt of a ref he could and should have sorted the tackle before the brawl when brown was taken late , but he bottled it and paid the penalty on the next tackle, shocking performance overall from thaler for me, i thought we were reffed and still won, so its not a case of sour grapes, think lod should get sos but will probably get 1 match.

Nathan has a point

Bailey was a disgrace tonight. A total disgrace.

One of the big tough boys who usually picks someone their own size -clearly!!

but there`ll be other days!

I note that NB says LO'D should have knocked Bailey out, but I hope O'Donnell does not play when we play Rhino's as it's the last game of the regular season.

The last thing we want is to go into the play off's (If we make them) with LO'D banned.

May have to play him if we need a win to make the play off's though

.

Crumbs - that'll have taken the heat off Agar, whatever he gets on Monday will be tempered by this as they'll have to raise the bar accordingly.

Well done, Nathan. Will Cummings get the message now? And will Bailey finally get his ban? I thought Child put Hull and Cas players at risk 2 weeks ago, seems to be a growing trend.

O'donnell should have murdered the coward.......absolutely no place in RL for scum like him !!

nathan is quite right about the late tackles on the creative players going unpunished.at least if mason or lod do take it further and get sent off, browny isnt going to look bad on them and keep them out of team

Bailey wont get banned he never does! He'll do his "but i was provoked" rubbish and just get a slap on the wrist well done NB for saying what everyone thinks!

Aussie coach in footstomping whinge shocker.

Get a grip Gladys. You're begining to sound like a stuck record. In every team the most skilled or creative players receive a disporportionate amount of dodgy tackles. Ask Tomkins Junior what his average game consists of.

Brown was the author of his own misfortune, and if you are going to be a gobby in a bad tempered RL match, then sometimes there are consequences. A yellow card for both of them would have dealt with the situation.

Perhaps when Nathan reviews the tape, he will see that O'Donnell came rushing in and got smacked a beauty by Bailley for his troubles. So much for his after match boast about getting Luke to sort him out, eh?

If you are going to spout nonsense in an interview, rather than celebrating a historic result, it helps to at least get some of your facts right. And if you're going to threaten to get your big boys to administer some instant justice, then maybe you need to make sure that they are up to the task.

I suspect a trip to Red Hall is in the offing for our gormless Aussie.

Prat.

i never realised bailey was australian

Whilst I agree with what NB says, LOD did deserve to be sent off.

Having seen the replay on SSN, Bailey had a go at Brown and then, as the coward he is, ran behind the rest of his forwards and stood and watched it all kick-off.

The mistake that LOD made was that he ran from about 20 yards away straight for Bailey. The only reason he didn't throw a punch was because Bailey got one in first (which you can't really blame him for). In fact LOD is lucky he didn't get knocked out himself, running in with his chin like he did!!

It certainly livened up the game though and I'm really impressed in how we coped with the rhino's tactics in the second half and the bottles of a ref.

Bring on Cru!!

Anyone got a link to highlights of the incident?

It Wasnt necessarily what Bailey did it was the way he did it, grabbing brown by the hand and pretending to pull him up then belting him while he was on his way up......at least if your trying to be hard and want to fight someone at least wait till they're toe to toe !!!

Bailey's only interest last night was to cause trouble.....he's a disgrace to our game and isn't even a good player !!!!

is it me but i think the leeds coach should hold some of the blame as it was obvious that leeds 2nd half tatics were to take out our playmaker, was bailey taking his coaches advice to the extreme.Having seen the brawl footage again lod did run in but didnt throw any punches so how he got sent off is beyond me.

What about Senior? He was swinging for the cheap seats FFS.

True Goodie, once the game was lost all they were interested in was causing trouble and winding our guys up - Bailey, Senior and Webb being the main culprits - and best of all Thaler was on their side too....it was unbelievable and Thaler was the cause of the problem last night he was way too soft and its credit to our guys that we kept our cool for as long as we did !
