No bad blood: O'Donnell May 5, 2010

THREE years after the notorious ''wishbone'' tackle that sidelined him for 10 months, Luke O'Donnell insists there is no bad blood between him and Wests Tigers pair Bryce Gibbs and Liam Fulton, his City Origin teammates this week.

Gibbs, Fulton and former Tigers forward Bronson Harrison were the perpetrators of the tackle, which ripped most of O'Donnell's hamstring tendons from his pelvis after his foot was pulled and twisted in a tackle.

However, O'Donnell, coming off a three-match suspension sustained in a match against the Tigers last month for a grapple tackle on Beau Ryan, said ''there was no issue at all'' as he joined Gibbs and Fulton (the City 18th man) in camp in Port Macquarie.

''It doesn't do me any favours to be worrying about things that happened three years ago,'' the 29-year-old back-rower said.

''I'm back in the City side and everything has been pretty positive, aside from the little suspension I'm just coming off.''

O'Donnell scoffs at suggestions he can lose his cool against his former club.

''I got suspended for repeated infringements and I've since spoken to [referees' coach] Robert Finch and he went through a couple of things with me. I'm just focused on trying to get back in the NSW side.''

Seriosly what do They expect him to say?

'yep I'm still seething over it and can't wait to take him out in an opposed training drill'

odonnell still obviously hasn't gotten over it judging by his ridiculous antics against us a few weeks ago
 
Legion Of Doom is my pick to completely lose it Julian O'Neil Dubbo style before the end of his career

Daine Laurie would also be a contender… Thinking about it though he's already chucked a John Elias and done a stint in the slammer, so he could hit the quinella if he loses it.
 
I picked Daine as more a setting mascot on fire than jumping overboard from a boat and swimming for shore kind of O'Neil moment
 
Why does LOD b!tch about it when the Cowgirls play us then….
 
He's kidding himself…every time we play he is a mental patient on the field. You watch him against other teams and he is a good hard player who bends the rules but is still mostly about the game in front of him.

When he plays us he chases guys around the field trying to smash the bone marrow out of them. If I was his coach I'd stand him down twice a year when they play us.....too much of a liability.

Now he is in camp with 5 of our players lol..he must be pretty withdrawn I'd imagine..
