Super League star suffers grotesque injury

Tomorrow we will see a huge game as Warrington Wolves and Hull FC collide and Wigan Warriors head over to France whilst on Sunday the Super League action concludes with Leeds Rhinos heading over to Huddersfield Giants.

But tonight there are some huge big games especially at the bottom as Castleford Tigers take on Champions St Helens and Wakefield Trinity meet Salford Red Devils.

Meanwhile, in a Challenge Cup Final rematch we have seen Hull KR meet Leigh Leopards for the fourth time this season.

It started explosively with a clash of heads with George King catching his head on Ben Nakubuwai causing an instant split and blood flowing out creating a grotesque image as he walked around with blood spewing out of a huge gash on his cheek.

The game also sees future Hull KR star Oliver Gildart take on his future club after a controversial move.

Recently Derek Beaumont explained how he beat the Robins to their own star signing.

“The biggest thing in any club is recruitment; and in doing that, you know, who you coach has an influence on who the agents and the players are going to be coached by,” he said on The Bench.

“And then your facilities obviously are important. I think we’re okay on that element; and then it’s the culture that you have and the fun that you create.

“The best advert for your recruitment are the players you’ve got at your club. So Oliver Gildart, okay Hull wanted to bring him early. He wasn’t keen on changing where he was at. But probably they don’t go back. There’s a lot happening this year. He’s committed to it and beyond that.

“Then we’ve gone into him when we’ve lost Ricky Leutele and because of where we are and the possible opportunities of playoffs, finals and you know, we’re going to Wembley so he’ll be part of it. It’s appealing and the form of the entertainment, the flavour of it.”

Beaumont also spoke about the impact of the club’s rebrand as the Leigh Leopards:

I”t’s an interesting one though because people know, as much as it’s gone wild, it’s great how you can wear any little part of it it associates you with it.

“It doesn’t have to replica or anything with a Leigh badge on it, doesn’t matter if it’s leopard print, so then you find other fans thinking ‘damn you can’t wear that because they’ll think I’m a Leigh fan’. And the things that you see, we’re in 15 meters of going on a cruise the other week, we saw a leopard print towel, bag, things that you put around your neck on the plane, one of those, you know, obviously bikinis.

“I think it was only me walking around in leopard print swimmers I do confess.”
