I actually went to get a drink before it happened and noticed the red bar above the Hull score on the screen when I returned. I didn’t even need to guess who it would have been....

Can I firstly say that wasn’t a head butt and was merely caressing Dom’s forehead with mine in a friendly manner. I wasn’t happy about the tackle and I just lost my head in the heat of the moment. People that know me know that it’s not in my nature to react like that.

And just like to apologise to all the kids that saw it and that’s how not to act on a rugby pitch when things flare up. Very unsportsmanlike and very disappointed in myself. I’ll learn from this for the better. Also big up to the fans that braved the cold to support us.

Yes, he copped three reds last season, but let’s face it, the challenge on McIllorum was over ruled and the play acting by Luke Gale unjustifiably go to him a red again s you’re lot. There was only the red At CAtalans which was warranted.

Bloody idiot last night. Knowing Paea isn’t out for a month and now watts will be suspended for a fair few games, I hope he is made to apologise to the squad on a daily basis until he’s available.

It did not benefit us having Gale off the field. It wasn't the worst tackle you'll see but he got a 2 game ban on top of his red. He obviously has major issues with discipline. The majority of players won't get sent off 4 times in their 15 year career let alone 4 times in 11 months.
