The Leeds player was behind the ball and ran in a straight line towards it. In the circumstances, whereas he can't deviate to get in Riley's path, neither is he obliged to get out of his way.

Besides which … since when was Riley guaranteed to tackle anyone?

Mate he caught Ryan Hall from the opposite wing, yet couldn't get anywhere near a forward? It was blatant obstruction.

Have you watched it back? You are going to be embarrassed when you do. Surprised you say it anyway, as once they showed the replay in the ground many wire fans shut up. Riley was trying to hold back BJB. Had he concentrated on Sutcliffe holding the ball he might have got to him.

Grabbing at the player in his way to shift him you mean.

I don't have sky so unless someone posts the game up i won't see it, but if my opinion changes i'll let you know, i only saw it once in real time and i remember thinking had he a clear run he'd have at least caught him.
I'll hold my hands up if i'm wrong though.

you're wrong mate, stop digging. BJB was in support, no more, and riley tried to pull him back. watch it before you go any deeper

No but you nearly been beaten by a weakened Leeds Rhinos side was

17 v 17, i've seen us beat teams full of stars with better players in every position, i've seen us lose to inferior teams. Nearly losing and not drawing is called winning no matter how you dress it up.

Well at least Yed you have eventually posted something correct on this thread . I would also say it is what you get from the game in the long term as well that matters . Which side from Friday will get most from the game i will leave you to decide

There are two sides to that argument, Leeds can say hey we played their main team with half ours missing and gave them a game, the future looks rosey and everything is right with the world.
Wire can say well we didn't turn up, played pants and took the two points regardless of a well below performance.

Wigan took a 'moral victory' against us, so in theory they learned a lot from that...then Cas beat them at home and then very nearly lost to Bradford a week later.

People can take what they want from any game but at the end of the day the only thing worth taking is the 2 points.
