Yes it was so bad that the 'magic sponge' fixed him and he was back on in the second half.

Glad to see Bibey back, some how i dont think he will be dishing any beatings to our current pack.

I'm sure he won't be losing too much sleep worrying though, Ricky is no dirtier a player than a few wearing Widnes shirts next year,just uncompromising.

That away Leigh game stood in the pouring rain, terrible game, we lost, and more importantly the game was nothing more than thuggery. Smithy got his arms pinned back by two of their players whilst another punched him repeatedly square in the face. Still one of the most cowardly things I've ever seen on a rugby league pitch. I recall the leythers bigging up how Smith was owed a beating before the match and the players obviously set out beforehand to give him one.

and thoroughly deserved too if I may say so

What about the time Smith blatantly came late into Heremaia's chest with his knees in a tackle?

I think it's fair to say both sides have had their fair share of 'dirty' players over the year and people could reel off all sorts of tales about each others teams.

Wasn't late was it? If I remember correctly a Widnes player kicked through and Heremaia dove on the ball, at that point it was still play on. There's nothing in the rules to say you can't tackle someone who decides to just lie on the ground. IMO Smithy went for the big hit to dislodge the ball as it was virtually on the Leigh line. Obviously it did end up being an arkward tackle because of ther position Heremaia was in on the ground but IMO there was no malice in it - the attack on Smith was premeditated.
