apparently

Both of Buderus' hands were on the ball and his arms both moved towards him. It's a steal.

No, its a knock on according ot our fully professional officials !!

As I've said on the match thread, all the Wigan fans were saying last week that if the hand is trapped, it's up to the tackler to remove it. That is what happens when you do, the ball naturally comes out.

Nice to see the Leeds players accept the opening Wigan try with such grace

This really is the battle of the prima donnas.

Gleeson lead with his ball carrying arm. Gleeson had a very loose carry of the ball. He got the decision he deserved.

When you look at the slow mo you see there was definitely contact with Buderus and the ball, but given Gleeson was leading with his ball carrying arm that was always going to happen. Especially when you look at full speed there's no way you can say it was a deliberate attempt to steal the ball.

Correct decision from the VR.

Really fed up of players moaning at refs. That is not my game. Leave that to the footballers. Only captains are suppose to talk/discuss to refs in a civil manner. This is coming into the game across the league and needs stamping out big time.

I had Sinfield at 20/1 for 1st try scorer, so it was a dead cert try for mine......

It would seem the rules about players ' dragging ' other players into touch has been forgotten about as well

I don't think England International Kevin Sinfield listed enough reasons as to why every human on the planet hates Leeds.

It's a rule they should get rid of IMO......just like they should with similar efforts to drag players back behind their own goal line like Joel Tomkins did on Burrow.

I hate them because of one single word.............................LEEDS.

Everything else about them is irrelevant.

I thought one on one it was allowed ?

So did I........I guess when we all understand the rules according to Silverwood it will be a far less confusing sport to watch at times

bentham looks like getting the grand final this year imho

You may have a point if either of Buderus' hands were 'trapped'. But, as always, your post is pointless and irrelevant.

Typo and excess words removed for clarity. and also for the benefit of the South Stand at Leeds as well as the Popular Stand at Saints

however as Burrow had not started to regain his feet when initial contact was made the tackle complete as soon as Tompkins touched him - hence when he then dragged him a penalty was the only outcome

contrast that with the decision that went against Wigan where Leeds deliberately wait till the Wigan player starts to get up and then complete the tackle taking him into touch - both decisions were correct and the rules are fine in my opinion.

you also have to consider that Gleeson lead with the ball carrying arm and was trying to free his arm to potentially offload - the ball carrier still has an obligation to retain possession and the defenders have the right to prevent the offload.

That was so funny, I'm still splitting my sides

I agree. But that is different to the scenario that Saddo has dreamt up.

Amen to that. Next season they should start the season by carding anyone other than the captain who talks to the ref. That and charging players for diving.

I'd go for that. Hate him or hate him, Ganson wouldn't put up with responses to refs the last few weeks..... James Graham in particular
