Why do we have a thread devoted to a previously unknown Leeds troll?
. Because we've lost yet another player to long term injury and it's raw at the moment Morley pie eater. We'll be over it and talking about something else on Thursday.
Agreed, 5miler. My point wasn't that we shouldn't discuss Ferres and the injury, but that someone is provoking a discussion, and we're indulging his/her need for attention. Encouraging such people came close to ruining this forum in the recent past.

It's great to have a wide range of views and friendly, sometimes even heated debates, but not to support one individual's need to be centre of attention

That is the biggest load of nonsense I have seen on here for a long time
No it isn't, if Clubb had been the perpetrator then the majority of our enraged fans wouldn't be saying boo to a goose, nothing more than an unfortunate injury in a rough tough mans game

That, too, is a big load of rubbish!!

Anyway, thought you'd gone as you told us all to go do one? :wink:

I also think Toosmooth is a troll,ignore the prat.Its sickening to read the Rhino's fans on their board trying to gloss it over.It wasn't really all that bad,Wigan lot over egging the pudding etc.There is a young man in Australia confined to a wheelchair because of such a tackle.

Imo it was a bad tackle and hopefully Olli will fully recover but I doubt it was intentional. One thing you won't see is Ferres getting celebrated by a percentage as a hero, so before you start casting those stones check you aren't in a glasshouse.

ferres knew what he was doing. You only have too see how he positioned Gildarts body. I have wrestled most of my life and you know how to hurt someone illegally and that is nailed on cheating

Heard on five live Ferres considering appealing the ban. Laughable.

You will always see hard crunching tackles in RL, Olli was unfortunate and Ferres reckless but that tackle could happen 10 more times and no one would be injured. Injuries happen and it's unfortunate that Olli just made that step up in quality
