Far too many poor passes that missed the man today the timing was awful 1st half and at times we seemed to be panicking on every set

Child was also the video-ref that thought O'Loughlin was on-side for Wigan when scoring his "try" on friday night. That try was 10x more offside than the Lee Smith grand final try, and look what uproar that caused. He will soon get a very, very important desicion wrong.

Well if you trot out the same old line I was going to get bored eventually.

Its not "the same old line"... Its slightly different every time

No he wasn't.

I'm not big ig fan of February. As a month, it's pretty diabolical with few redeeming qualities.

Still, I could be from Bradford.

Has anyone mentioned Danny Maguire kicking on the second tackle when we were on the Wildcats line? That annoyed the heck out of me.

Neither was Rob Burrow

Erm, yeah he was.
HTH

So was Leo-Latu

The main issue was consistency. Wakefield were allowed to do things Leeds couldn't. Leeds were sh*te and embarrassing, not the most intelligent team.

Did James Child tell you to say that?

Don't mate, you're dealing with the terminally dim in Emma it's not fair

yawn

by the way how many forward passes did he miss today Leeds call it a flat pass

Unsurprising that you resort to personal abuse straight away.

You sad, sad excuse of a man.

No idea. We were behind the sticks, so it was impossible to tell.

leeds constantly getting penalised for holding down is directly the fault of the coach, since he has come in the difference compared to leeds under smith a few years ago is obvious to all who watch. trying to slow the PTB at each tackle seems to be a bluey trait.better get used to being on the wrong end of the penalty count.

wakefield took their chances better today and had a better completion rate. IMO that was about the only difference.

2 out of 2 compared to 2 out of 4?



We have been used to losint the penalty count for a couple of years now. Hasnt affected us too much though in the warmer months has it.



As a few Wakey fans have said on here tonight, once we sharpen up we will be hard to beat. Saints had a similar start 2 years ago and still went on to come top. 24 games to go yet.

Aww how sweet.

i had texts from 2 leeds fans who said he was awful and my neighbour is a wakey fan and he said the same!

anyhows, it also seems to be a bluey trait we start start slowly and build up to october. a leeds first teamer told me he likes this approach and they do a lot of fitness work during the season.
the first month of the season always throws up odd results,teams are at differant stages of fitness, grounds are poor, referees always seem to be stricter. come march/april things will have settled down.

i have every faith that come play off time we will be firing on all cylinders.

Top post. Leeds fans complaining about the ref because they've lost, welcome to the club.

Granted but game plans need to be flexible.If you are constantly getting pinged for an offence then if the players are not quick enough to realise then the coaching team need to be.

In this league now you cannot afford to have 17-7 penalty counts as more times than not you are going to get beat.

take a bow son,

honesty and truthful

This is what I always find myself saying about players from any team. Ref's are very inconsistent and as you say don't all penalise for the same offences.
I think Child was a bit generous in our favour in the first half but as you say players should learn faster and if a ref is penalising for slowing down the PTB then they need to learn to roll away quicker.

As for the OP I think you need to watch your own players when defending your line as none of them had feet behind the line either, as most teams don't but it is one offence that ref's hardly ever seem to penalise yet it must be one of the easiest to spot.
