Leeds Rhinos have been taking on Hull KR tonight in what has been a fiery encounter so far at Craven Park.
Hull KR ran into a 10-0 lead before Leeds hit back with a big try but the Robins hit a 14-6 lead.
However, the Rhinos came back into it with two brilliant tries to lead at the break 18-14.
But, that seemed to pale into insignificance when Sky Sports commentators announced that Bodene Thompson had been taken to hospital following a sickening clash.
Into the start of the second-half and Morgan Gannon dotted down with the Rhinos going into a 22-14 lead.
Leeds had already been cut to ribbons with three suspensions to Rhyse Martin, Aidan Sezer and David Fusitu’a whilst James Bentley was left out due to a potential injury.
Hull KR, meanwhile, had had 16 players out a number of weeks ago and were hit with injuries to Shaun Kenny-Dowall and Greg Richards during the game.
Everyone at Serious About Rugby League passes on their well-wishes to Thompson.
