Neutral here.

But... Any malicious intent came from Mac. Watts raising arm purely instinctive with no intent. I think the seriousness of injury was a deciding factor in the dismissal, game on TV, video ref in his ear. Micky Mac is an old type RL fixer. He wants to "sort" one or two opposition hard men out, but what comes round goes round. Incidentally, I don't think Micky will blame Watts, but it will go in the memory bank.

MM has said Watts wasn't to blame. I'm a bit confused at how you attribute any "malicious intent" onto him though.

Worth mentioning that the OP is not a hull supporter, it's difficult to work out where his allegiances lie, but he's clearly out to stir things up.

If rugby league had the same level of scrutiny as horse racing then their would be an inquiry after every game !!!

But having said that I have no reason to doubt the integrity of the officials, their competency is another question.

The photo shows that MM's head has pushed LW's arm back down. It's not the initial point of contact.

Well seen as though Bentham was going to give the drop goal, then, yes it was very nearly fixed
