Red cards leave boss Arthur baffled as Rhinos push Rovers all the way
Yorkshire Evening Post
|April 28, 2025
Boss Brad Arthur admitted he doesn't know what more he can do to keep 13 players on the field following Friday's 20-14 loss to Hull KR.
A thrilling encounter was overshadowed by a sending off for each team in the final quarter, plus an early yellow card to Leeds. Rhinos led 14-6 with just 15 minutes left, but table-topping Hull KR scored three late tries to snatch it - two of them immediately after captain Ash Handley was dismissed for "direct contact" with a shoulder to the head of Robins full-back Arthur Mourgue.
Mourgue was also the Hull KR player involved when Leeds scrum-half Jack Sinfield was sin-binned for a high hit with his shoulder in the first half. Mourgue played on both times. The Robins' Sauaso Sue was sent-off for a similar tackle on Leeds' Sam Lisone - who went off for a head injury assessment, but returned later on - at the start of the final quarter.
