Just stop there, it says it all.

To be honest i dont really care how many games either get as we wont get any advantage from them. Im just happy we put the whole Leeds team on their and showed them that they arent that great anymore



Lets be honest if Ablett was sent off as he should of been and Coley hadnt been binned for next to nowt it would of been a right good slaughtering

Can you tell me Wednesday's & Saturday's Lotto results along with Friday's Euros.

If you're down to 12, your team tends to rally and generally, less points can be scored.

We might, if it helps Hull keep 4th place. I'd rather play Hull than Leeds in round 1 (no offence to Hull fans intended).

If that's the kind of logic you bank on, pal, you need to play the lotto more, because common sense strategies are clearly beyond you.

Are you seriously suggesting that less defenders (who will tire more easily) + more space for attackers = a better defence???

baily let off with warning,ablett charged with a grade c,does that me it is deemed less serious than coley the other week.Rl is a joke.

once again they have shown what a joke they are with regards to bring players to task ie bailey and ablett.wether you like the aussie system or not had this happened over there these two players would have been out for weeks and rightly so.justice in our game depends which club you play for.this makes a mockery of the punishment handed out to coley.

Your team rallies when down to 12, work harder for each other and the team. Obviously will tire quicker dependant on the timescale though.

I still maintain that if the video ref is present and a player is put on report.
Then the video ref should determine if the player should be sent off.
Or the match day ref reviews it using video eveidence.
The panel can then debate if the sending off was sufficient or the player is banned for x matches.
In this case Ablett gets sent off plus maybe a further 1 or 2 game ban.
That way the team who are offended against benefit.

Makes sense. Explains why so many teams voluntarily play with 12 men so often...

Hmm, i dont think i'll bother seen as you're clearly missing the point.

I know what you are getting at mate. You see it in football a lot where a side goes down to 10 men but manage to hold on without conceding. They do say teams become much harder to break down in this instance but I'm not sure it would work in Rugby. In football a team will change formation to combat a red card sacrificing attack for a much tighter defence but I don't think you can do this in Rugby as there is going to be a gap in the line no matter what you do if a player is missing. Although it may be the case that a team is woken up and tries that little bit harder to make up for having less men on the field but I think it would be hard to maintain it over the course of a game

Thank you.

It is harder to maintain, but still the effort and the fact that the team still rallies is there.

I think it is definitely possible for a sin-binning that a team can maintain such an effort and I have seen it where a team has actually outscored their opponents whilst having a man in the bin. The question is though does it effect a team later in the game, as it will take a lot out of a team defending with only 12 men on the field no matter how long or short the time.

Leeds fans on RLFANS are definately up there with the Wolfs.

Sam Buca, what a numpty.

...and no mention of Tomkins crouching down either. Maybe you should look a little closer to home for people who were making stupid comments about this incident eh?

Coley against Catalans got a grade B offence, Ablett a C. C is more serious than B.

Are you genuinely putting forward the notion that it is to your team's ADVANTAGE to have a player binned???

The whole point of losing a man in any sport is to give the opposition an advantage and the opportunity to score more points against you. Who knew so many sport's governing bodies had it wrong this whole time?!



I'd send your idea to the RFL if I were you. Tell them that instead of having a player sent off, you should be forced to bring a 14th man on as your opponents will rally when they're a man down, giving them a clear advantage over you...

Numpty.

I tried to point that out to him, but it seems it's not his turn for the family brain cell this week.

Family brain cell?!?! Here's me convinced it was shared around the entire fan base. On this basis I think Rhinos fans deserve a bit more credit than we give them on here. The presence of family brain cells means there were at least 3 in the home ends on Friday...

You sound so desperate its untrue

No mention of that will come into play until the full report is up. So you're disputing the fact that you dont bend your knees when taking a high ball?
