You can't ban someone for having a valid opinion, but you can get banned for dodging the swear filter.

STFU although I'll give you the charge down. Its nothing to do with insecurity by the way. Its more to do with knowledge or rather you're complete lack of it.

That was directed at smokey. I'm sure he will take great pleasure in people getting banned. Now added to the foe list for the sake of my health.

Ok so tell me, what parts of Leeds performance were very good, considering we won quite comfortably in the end who stood out as performing at the very top of their ability? Which of our international players put in world class performances?

Also just so i know, are we supposed to pretend the first 20 mins at Wigan have also been at a really high level? Because that has also been pretty low quality so far, but i would back either of them to have beaten us based on our performance yesterday.

You can only play as well as the opposition allow you to play

So yes Leeds were crap, they allowed us to play great RL, we on the other hand were fantastic, not letting them play to their incredibly high standard

Its all about LEEDS

as I said Peacock retired last night

Amusing to see Smokeys social skills remain undeveloped.

He's one of those people who folk only bother with when they might want to borrow his ladders or a maybe an odd shaped spanner.

Dour? There's more fun in toothache.

Get out a bit lad and kiss some women.

Well that sentence is just nonsense. You can play as well as you can play. If I stepped on the field and the opposition allowed it, i wouldnt suddenly turn in to Darren Lockyer.

You didnt play great RL. You got beaten by 13 points by a team who played very poorly. They did oustandingly well for a semi-pro team against a full-time one and did the championships proud. Either of Wigan or Cas today would have beaten Leeds and neither played anywhere near their best Rugby today, it was an error fest.

Ha, Peacock was the best forward on the park by a country mile, a ton of tackles, a ton of metres, 2 clean breaks and he managed to teach an idiot a lesson that even if you want to stick the head on a prone man whilst he is being tackled to the ground, your going to take a few for your trouble. But you cant win with one Prop, and one second rower as your pack.

Bless Smokey TA (all that's missing is w & t)
Wonder what he's like when Rhino's Lose....a right SORE WINNER at best.
Guess he's embarrassed at his beloved Rhinos struggling against some 'part timers'.
And it could have been a lot worse....AND YOU KNOW IT !

Its rare that teams put in complete performances week in week out, Leigh didn't allow leeds to play for large parts due to the centres and wingers coming in fast which often forced errors on your backs. They almost stung you on Friday but for a lack of composure and fitness in that last 20 minutes. Just accept it and praise the lobby for an excellent performance.

Oh and don't be a t[ii[/it all your life eh.

One thing I did notice last night especially in the 2 nd half was how long Leeds ' water boy ' was on the pitch ,it was like an under 6 s match at times

do all these full time experienced RL players really need constant coaching like kids?

Smokey excelled in the Wigan/Cas thread, suggesting that Thaler carried on as he had done in the Leeds/Leigh game; does he actually watch any games?

Smokey ... You remind me of a John Cooper Clarke song..
"What kind of creature bore you was it some kind of bat , they can't find a good word for you but I can ****"

Just to restore a bit of balance to the thread, I thought we (Leeds) were ok on Friday. I've seen us play worse this season more than once. Thoroughly enjoyed the game and tbh wouldn't have been upset had we lost. That's never how I feel when ineptitude costs us a game.

Indeed it ended up a thoroughly enjoyable Cup tie.

Smokey's attitude seems to reflect that of the bitter Leeds fans who were kicking off near the Leigh supporters coaches.

There's an attitude from some Leeds fans that Leigh had no right showing up their big money full-time team with our part-timers.

Well boo-freaking-hoo.

Leeds had their best available side out and they struggled to deal with Leigh in their own back yard and were fortunate to walk away as victors.

What a load of made-up nonsense.

When the players Leeds have dont adjust to a basic defensive ploy. They havent played to their potential.

Once again, Im not going to patronise Leigh by pretending that performance was excellent. There isnt a team in SL who would have come away from that game having been beaten by 13 points by that Leeds performance and said their team played excellently .

Thaler was the VR who gave those nonsensical charge down and obstruction decisions sweetheart. Did you not watch it?

Smokey's attitude reflects that of smokey.

You have your own thread dedicated to praising you, started by a leeds fan pretty much stating what you said in your last sentence. So pipe down.

I've got a souvenir shiner from a bitter Leeds fan just for walking back to my coach, so no, I will not pipe down pal

And I was verbally abused by a Leigh fan just for walking back to my car.

Your attitude seems to reflect that of the drunk, arrogant Leigh fans who were taking the mick, swearing and trying to start a fight with Leeds fans after the game.

Or is it just that some people at RL games are idiots and we shouldn't generalise about people just because of the club they support?

I saw a Leeds fan run up behind a Leigh fan, smacked him, then scarpered.
The Leigh fan, fell, banged his head on the road, lot of blood, and was 'out cold'.
But HIM, you're right.....few idiots can give any 'set of fans' a bad reputation.
Can't remember last time I saw some 'aggro' at a RL game....think I had NO grey hairs last time I did.

That's just like an unexpected punch in the eye.



Where does it? You're really stretching to make a point here.



Where did I generalise? I compared Smokey's opinions to those of the drunken & violent moronic Leeds fans that I ran in to returning to the coach. I made no comments about the large majority of Leeds fans.

Quite suspicious how you started out in your first post saying "Leeds fans were kicking off near the coaches".

Yet didn't make any mention of being punched unprovoked. Only when doubted by others you've then added you've got a black eye from an unexpected attack in later posts. Hmmmmm, I might've lead with that from the start TBH.

You describe it as unprovoked yet tell us the motivation behind it was because Leeds fans were upset that they only won by a small margin instead of a big one. Did your attacker run off saying "if we'd won by 50 you wouldn't have gotten that?"

Whilst not agreeing with Smokey, is him and his posts really comparable to someone apparently punching you?

They're both unacceptable aren't they?


The parts where you're arrogant and taking the mick are there. So I'd suggest my post isn't stretching a point anywhere near as much as yours does where you equate Smokey's views to those of people committing violence. Although mine wasn't serious, it was merely to make a point.


But when you say "some Leeds fans" in the context that you have most people would take that to mean at least a significant minority of Leeds fans rather than the specific few that you ran into, otherwise you would continue to refer to them as you had previously. So you're taking the apparent views (though I'm not sure how you worked out their views are as you described) of a handful of people and assuming plenty more Leeds fans are like that. Then, just because you disagree with Smokey, you equated his views to those few who attacked you.

I've been attacked myself before at an RL game, it was away at Saints a few years ago. Like yours it was entirely unprovoked. I didn't assume all, or any other Saints fans thought in the same way because of that, including any Saints fans I might disagree with on the internet. In the same way as I don't tar any other Leigh fans with the same brush for the idiot that shouted in my and my fathers faces.
Some people are idiots, doesn't matter what shirt they wear or where they're from.
