Linesman?

Bang goes the credibility of that argument.

Wrong sport....touch judge surely!

"I can't understand why Sky missed the game ..."

Simple, because you're 12th in the league and not very good at the moment, consequently you're deemed not to be a big draw on the telly.

I objected to the cr*p decisions dished out by Terry Halibut on Good Friday, but funnily enough I have since learned to live with them.

WRONG – if Bradford had been the better team they would have scored more points and thus won the game.

To say that this guy is a professional Rugby League player you’d think he’d know how the game works..!!!

I'd disagree with that. Sometimes the team that plays best does lose and it often comes down to the bounce of the ball going against you.

Sorry mate but it’s an ‘absolute’ statement – like “when it rains, things get wet” or “someone who is 6 foot is taller than someone who is 5 foot”

It is unarguable.

The best team is the one with the most points on the score board – this is because they have scored more points in the game – this is because they are a better team.

The best team always wins - FACT

Who was the best team last season?

When will they be asking for the 2 points back? I seem to remember they have form for this kind of reality denial. If you blame refs and linesmen and Sky for not covering the match rather than poor defence, poor attacking play and poor discipline you end up at the bottom of the table. No mystery why Bradford are slowly sliding down the khazi with McBanana as coach. The guy seems to have created culture of whinging at the club by taking the lead himself. I've never heard the guy interviewed when he didn't complain.

Saints, that's why they won the hubcap.

Who was the best team in the grand final?



I agree with your point though

Maybe Sheriffe should take a closer look at his defensive decisions for Halls' two tries as a reason for Bradford's loss.

Surely if they had been on Sky he would have stayed on his man and let the inside cover deal with Senior?

I think Peter hood has probably given McNamara a lead from above.

If the game at Odsal wasn't on Sky, we would have won that game.

Impossible to say for sure (as the ref had concerns over the Burrow and McGuire 'scores') but I tend to agree with that statement.

As for the best team always winning. The 1982 Challenge Cup Semi Final and the John Player Trophy Final of 1988 were two games where that didn't happen despite what it said on the scoreboard at the end.

The team with the most points always wins but not necessarily the best team on the day.

Was that Leeds v Widnes at Station road and Leeds v St Helens at Central Park?



I agree. I dont buy this 'best team always wins'.

Oh heart-break.

I don't care how many point Loughlin scored, Roy Powell was clear man of the match in that game. Possibly his finest display in the Blue and Amber.

If he'd kept a better eye on Hall earlier in the game, that may have helped.

Wasn't that the day a certain "me first", embittered former stand off spurned a couple of clear drop goal opportunities to draw the game by going glory hunting?

You know, the one who had a massive pop at Sinfield for doing the same in Cardiff?

Said individual will have been centre that day so I don't think so Andy but I could be wrong.

Like most finals Schoey played for us my recollection is he was pretty anonymous.

Yep, you're right, Peter Jackson was at stand off.

I agree with your point about Powell and even taking him out of the picture, Neil Holding had a better game than Paul Loughlin. Although, I seem to recall Schofield had an alright game.

Interesting that two players from that team went to a very early grave.
