Cartwright critical of 'brain explosion'

JOHN Cartwright has labelled the five minutes of Hull FC's Magic Weekend performance before half-time as a “brain explosion".

Liam Knight was sent off in the final play of the first half following a high tackle on Huddersfield Giants forward Sam Hewitt.

Making direct contact with the head, Knight was dismissed after a video review, capping a mad five minutes that saw a big coming together of the two sides after a yellow card for Hull prop Sam Eseh.

Knight was sent off in the first play following that altercation, with tempers boiling after a passage that began with a sin bin for Giants’ Tom Burgess after a high hit on John Asiata.

Calling the period ‘dumb’, Cartwright didn’t shy away from the reality of Hull's poor discipline, which was their undoing in a 12-10 defeat, but also stated he didn’t see ‘much difference’ between the two yellows and the red.
