Young lads often get carried away.
At this stage of his career I'd rather he showed a little too much aggression than not enough. The former's far easier to address.

* Bentley possibly excepted

If Tom got clattered first, and he responded, I’d expect him to he’s a prop forward. If he started the brawl, he needs to learn not to.

Might be more towards the grade D/E end of the spectrum unfortunately. I’m not sure what started it, but he finished it alright. Threw 4 or 5 massive haymakers, connected with at least 3, put 2x Newcastle players on the ground. At the end he lost it, would have attacked the posts if he thought they were looking at him funny. Hallas & Wallace eventually dragged him away.

Thanks mate, I’m not sure if I’m pleased with that or not…

I really hope he can stay fit. He has the aggression our front row so desperately needs. Needs to control it though. He took some cheap shots but didn't seem to feel them

Re: 2022 | Injuries & Suspensions : Mon May 23, 2022 7:16 am  

Stupid action. A couple of decent shots in there, but I don't think any real mitigation. He's just lost his rag

Re: 2022 | Injuries & Suspensions : Mon May 23, 2022 7:26 am  

5/6 game ban.

Re: 2022 | Injuries & Suspensions : Mon May 23, 2022 8:32 am  

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.

He’ll learn. I’d say 4 games, not much previous and there’s provocation. Shame it happened now, we could have used his size and aggression in the next month.

Nothing to get too excited over, it’s a contact sport.
