In light of the ban thrown at Chase I think Sneyd got off very lightly. McDermott also spoke out very strongly regarding the Chase incident even though our club wasn't involved, I think he just wants the game played in a hard, fair way. Club loyalties will always colour judgement of incidents, but I think he was malicious in his intent. One thing is for sure, McGuire is a bigger loss to Leeds than Sneyd is to Hull.

Hope things don't get nasty on or off the pitch on Friday.

I'm a normally mild mannered middle aged female but some of the stuff being said about Sneyd on social media has made my blood boil. Especially when you see some of the incidents that go unpunished.
There's been some real vitriol spewed by both sets of fans, let's hope it stays behind a keyboard

Why would it get nasty off the pitch? What has anyone in the public from Leeds (or elsewhere) done to you or anyone else to raise your ire so much?
From what you just wrote it's made your blood boil because someone you don't know has written something nasty about someone else you don't know (aside from in name) and the first thing you had thoughts about was about it kicking off after you described yourself as 'mild mannered'. It would appear that you are the type of person that we should be getting the stewards to keep an eye on tbh.

I doubt there'll be much to get fired up by. Leeds heavy favourites with the bookies, as are Saints, Wire and Rovers.

Scofield has backed us

Club loyalties cloud judgements on both sides. But I suspect that many on here who are defending the Sneyd tackle would be seeing it differently if Danny McGuire had executed that tackle on Sneyd rather than the other way round. It wasn't Rangi Chase Bad but IMO it was worse than 2 games. Still that's the way the cookie crumbles, I hope we get McGuire back as quickly as you get Sneyd back. Roll on Friday.

Clucking bell.

Good post, I reckon he should have got 3 matchs, when you look at Elima getting 4 for a similar challenge last year.

Leeds & Rovers are -4 with bookies, Sts & Wire are -18.
So, not all "heavy" then.

Crikey, Knockersbump, calm down

I was merely making the point that it was possible that some hotheads might fancy a bit of bother, it's not unknown is it?

I certainly don't need watching, I know how to behave in public and behind a keyboard. More than can be said for some

You 're always banging on about Rovers away form, but aren't Catalans worse and missing Carney, Tonga, Bosc, Lima, Duport and Oldfield? Already said if Leeds draw you in the semi final I may have to cheer you on after this week's "banter".

Not read all the posts. But what Is the extent of Danny McGuires injury?

His foot was ripped clean off and thrown into row M of the Southstand I belive.

We'll find out on Friday. No break, and not long term.

Catalans have taken more points away from home than we have this season! I look forward to your patronage at any potential Rovers/Leeds clash later in the year!

the way the whinos are carrying on I can quite well believe you pal.

But you're at Fortress whatever it's called you nugget. If you get Warrington in the semis though I might have to go away for the weekend.

Perhaps you or McDermott would like to comment on the spear tackle by McGuire on Shaul. An action that has the potential to cause far more serious injury than anything Sneyd did and one day a player is going to have his career ended in this way.

Don't have a problem highlighting foul play but Leeds players are not saints by any stretch of the imagination and yet get away with it time and again.

Fair summary.

At the time it looked like Shaul could have copped a bad injury from the tackle. In Mcguires defence it happened in a split second and Shaul's momentum seemed partly to put him in a dangerous position. There was no momentum in Sneyds attack, it wasn't a continuous movement, it was a couple of deliberate twists.

Get over it and move on.

maguire has previous though and sneyd doesn't so no reason to even think that sneyd was deliberately trying to cause injury

Badly dislocated dummy and his rattle suffered a nasty sprain

Yeah but you're at home where you have a cracking record this season and you've already hammered a much stronger cats side
