That was a try every day of the week. Brough is all over Briscoe as well as he's going through, trying to get in front of him to stop him getting his arms free. No thought of a penaltry try to us though?

Still, fantastic performance from half a team. When we have our players back we'll smash them to pieces.

I would agree but the rules state that you cant put your hands accross, which Briscoe did, without the ball and thats classed as obstruction.If it was just shoulders he would be OK.Harsh, but thats life.Im sure Hudds. fans feel hard done by too with the Broughton try ruled out for obstruction when Ward was nowhere near.

Exactly it was harsh, but so was the Broughton one so cancels each other out IMO.

Would've preferred to have been tackled near halfway to finish the game rather than think for 2 minutes that we might've nicked it.

To be fair the Broughton no try came of the back of a scrum that was incorrectly given to Hudds IIRC.

Ah yes I forgot about that bit, that was a poor call from Silverwood.

Just one of many!

half a team? no, you had 17 players, the same as we did, you also had 7/8 internationals playing,same as we did!!
to be honest i really thought the try at the end was gonna go your way, but for once we got a VR decision go our way, we were as poor as we've been all season and yet you still couldn't beat us when we were there for the taking.

and don't forget you were lucky to get a draw at our place, due to some dubious VR calls..robbed?? nope just beaten by a poor side im afraid.

It was all very dramatic, but it was a poor game. I thought Hudds just about deserved it in the end. Both teams have more to come.

agree, although in terms of excitement and drama it was a good/bad one to stand through but the quality from both sides was poor at times.

Meh, we got a similar call in out favour at Bradford a few years ago when someone put a hand on Scott Donald as he tried to shepherd the ball out. Swings and roundabouts. Proud of the young lads efforts tonight. All good experience for them.

Dubious?! Are you having a giraffe?

We lost because of a ridiculously lightweight bench. Kirke as an impact prop? Seriously???

Certainly didn't help but there was a multitude of factors IMO. Lightweight bench, a desperate kicking game, the lack of a plan to negate Brough's predictable brilliance at sniffing opportunities for the 40/20, conceding easy yards around the ruck, a failure to speed up our PTB (or to slow down theirs); had we addressed any of these, we'd have won.

Kirke on the pitch at the minute is a laugh

More laughable when Singleton was 18th man and not injured.

Correct

Kirke is stealing a living at the moment

What about baileys defence for the first hudds try?

Classic bailey.

Worthless ****

Bailey contributed.

Caught out for the try but dragged us back into the game with a determined try. He has a high skill level in scoring in what looks like improbable opportunities. Like the Wigan score in CC semi other year. Is that worthless? Has Bailey twisted your nipple at some point?

What about JP's effort on Ferres which lead to a score (Wardle?)

I found Clarkson's flop more irritating if I'm honest.

That soft penalty lead to a try as well in following set IIRC.

Always disappointing if your key contribution to a game is a silly error. If you are going in late with a flop, at least steam in and rattle someone.

As I've said before, the difference when Bailey starts games compared to when he's picked on the bench is quite big.

Come on get a grip leeds robbed , leeds have never got the poo end of the stick for over 40 years. Robbed my ars.

Care to explain that in more detail?
Or are you trying to say we have never been on the wrong end of a poor call, a blatant forward pass, player sent off and banned, been lucky to win so many GF`s?
Or is there something else you are eluding to?
Bet you anything you are not from one of the big teams in SL.

What I am saying is at the end of the game your team will come out on top of the vast majority of 50 50 calls and rode your luck on the rest. Your argument could be that when you play open attacking rugby and pass the ball about you are more likely to get away with the odd forward pass , offside at a kick etc. For me Leeds seem to come out on top of the majority of the dessisions made, and when you don't the players loose it.
