"Please leave you doubled over fatherless child" was quite a naughty thing to say, so why wasn't he sent off at the time if the ref heard it?
It's quite embarassing for Super League to have such a gentle, girly player up on charges for violence. It's just wrong. It'll be the first case I've heard of where a player turns up for a disciplinary hearing only to be laughed at and told to 'man up'.
Knowing Fielden these days he'll probably break down and have to have his hand held or he won't go in.
Not sure if the ref did hear it, it could clearly be
seen what he said on a replay though.
On a seperate note I think Calderwood may also be in trouble after having a go at the ref and TJ. He was also clearly heard swearing on the ref's mic.
