10th May 2018, L.D. Nutrition Stadium, England; Ladbrokes Challenge Cup round 6, Rugby League, Featherstone Rovers v Hull FC ; Anthony Thackeray of Featherstone Rovers scoring a try
Back in 2018, Featherstone hosted Hull FC in a brutal Challenge Cup sixth round tie that boasted five cards in just 15 minutes.
It was a fiery clash and with Hull cruising to victory, leading 38-16 with 15 minutes to, things started to get very ugly.
In a crazy period, referee Scott Mikalauskas produced five cards (4 yellows, 1 red) as both teams completely lost control.
Lee Radford’s side eventually won the game 38-20 but it came at a cost, losing three players to injury in the full-blooded encounter.
Watch all the major talking points below including one of the worst timed tackles in rugby league history by Misi Taulapapa on Jamie Shaul.
