[i''Bit unlucky this arvo but we will bounce back that's for sure.... ''[/i

It was nice to see a rare tweet that didn't involve him going for a feed!

I just thought the wording was interesting. ''bit unlucky''. Most people will agree we were outplayed and if a saints fan caught one of us saying we were unlucky they would rape us.

But I can certainly see where he's coming from. In the first half especially, annoying little incidents kept going against us and depriving us of posession and position which allowed saints to get the roll and post points. We didn't help ourselves but everything kept flowing saints way.

That's paper that tweet.

Luke Burgess' thoughts..

[i"Some referees and video referees just don't have a clue about the game!I thought they were meant to be full time....."[/i

The Leeds players are meant to be full time too - wonder why they were dropping the ball and missing tackles

Gotta let you guys win at least one game against us each year, it's part of our franchise application.

Hey, I'm under no illusions that Leeds have the strongest squad in SL and are more likely to take out SL again this year than us. I just like it when players blame refs for a mauling.

If he's referring to the Hall no try McGuire clearly runs round the back of the dummy runner. The timing of that play was off and it was an obvious penalty to the defence IMO. Great ball from McGuire by the way.

Most of those annoying little incidents were self inflicted wounds after Leeds had made the perfect start (thanks to Lionel.)

The opening 40 of the last two weeks are great examples of what you should do in a big game and what you shouldn't do in a big game.

I'd have to agree, you can never win a game by making so many unforced errors, giving away so many penalties and having so little possession.

Not having a go at Bush directly but if he'd stayed in it's Leeds Zero tackle on half way. It actually ends with saints scoreing in the next set of six & again from the restart with the aid of a penalty, Game Over.
It's not unlucky, but avoidable.

Here here.

Under Mclennan Leeds have an appalling disciplinary record and, as illustrated by silly public comments by players, an appalling relationship with the referees. It seems something that Mclennan is unable to fix and is in stark contrast from how things were under Smith who made it a point never to publicly bag a referee.

Let's hope officials from the RFL don't read these boards. You're supposed to be a Leeds fan yet you grass one of our own up.

There are some real plonkers on these boards.

Surely it is Burgess who is the plonker? Pretty sure Twitter has a greater worldwide following than southstander.

Burgess is a plonker, Southstander Dave is a plonker and a grass.

Does that mean that everyone on here who ever discusses alledged foul play after a match, but before the disciplinary meet, is a grass?

Worst attempt at a comparitive situation....ever!

Agreed - these are professional players who surely have an understanding of how a ref is going to ref the game. Whilst Silverwood gave Saints every 50/50 he did not stop them standing square, he did not stop them getting back 10 metres and he did not stop them reefing the ball out.

On the Hall try - there was no way Moore would ever have got to McGuire but JJB should never have made contact - simple

You're right - by posting that on a thread on a rlfans forum i've definately alerted the RFL and worldwide media to a public twitter posting by Burgess.

My bad

Standing square didn't always stop Silverwood giving a penalty against Leeds for not standing square either.

I think you give us too much credit.

Whilst we are a class outfit, saints are more likely as they will finish in a better position in the playoffs.

It was an unnecessary attempt to get attention for yourself as being in the know.

All you've done is grass the lad up.

Who wants to read the random musings of big daft lads who play the game anyway?

I don't get twitter tbh but people who follow the tweets of big daft lumps like Burgess really, really do need to get out and get laid or, at the very least, see some sunshine.
