Top stuff Cas. Best team lost though. McGoldrick, what a twit though aye, gave Leeds two opportunities to get back and take the game the most risky one they took. I'd be fuming with his indiscipline.

I'm not McGoldrick's biggest fan, I still have no idea why he's at full back, his inability under the high ball is called out every game. However, he did have some good moments in defence, preventing two certain scores.

I thought at the time he was unlucky with the penalty that won it, looked like he hit the shoulder. I'd like to see it again, but it's academic now.

1st contact was with the neck

Neck or shoulder, a tackle like that will pretty much always draw a penalty.

In the game there were at least a dozen similar tackles not penalised, one or two of them more obviously high..... its the trouble with golden point a 'contentious' decision should not decide a big game..... a replay would have been the fairest way to sort this out and surely the RL cup final is a big enough event to justify it and 'contentious' decisions tend to even out over 80 mins.....

Hats off to your effort but Bentham always favours the 'big clubs' or his favourites whether ref or video ref.....

Good shout mate, Jacko was my MOM today. His effort in defence was outstanding!

I am a Rhinos fan and I have to say you didn't deserve to lose today. I thought young Milner was outstanding for you today I lost count of the number of tackles he was involved in espescially near your try line a young lad with a great future!

Get over yourselves what was this a ing contest, fans of all clubs always believe they sing tghe loudset ffs

Some very fair comments from Leeds fans - cheers fellas! Thought we were awesome in defense but Leeds were better with ball in hand. With time to reflect I think Bentham had a decent game overall though I thought he awarded a few soft penalties to Leeds and was happy to wave away similar infringements when Leeds did em, notably high tackles.

I'm gutted for you guys, those were two excellent games to find the finalists.

After you somewhat luckily beat us at Spotland I was hoping we could say we lost to the eventual winners but it wasn't to be.

And Steve, if you read this, how are you doing mate??

Pugwash.
