It got to the point last night where the other commentators were making a joke about how impartial he is and he's laughing along seemingly not realising they're laughing at him not with him. It's seemingly become one of Sky 'things' during their commentary, let's joke about Phil struggling to remain impartial.

People can say Barrie has some Leeds bias going on but he complements all other teams nor pleads for calls to go against them or celebrates their errors.

Absolutely ridiculous call. It meant absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things of course, but had that been the match winning score then there would have been about 10 pages on this by now!

I like the VR but this reviewing a decision over and over and over..... like the Moon try which was obvious on first view yet they looked at it about 15 times! The problem probably lies in the way the ref sends the call upstairs but watching the NRL their VR's on the whole seem to get on with it far quicker than ours do.

2015 GF Clarke said leeds were the best team of the last 40 years. Very bias against leeds. More paranoid rubbish.

Leeds lost because of Clarke and the ref !!


Personally I think Leeds lost and every game they have lost in the last 1]6 months is because Hetherington and McDermott have not replaced
Sinfield and peacock

Yeah after the final whistle of the last game of the season. When games are actually in progress he clearly is bias.

My judgement has come over a period of time and believe i made comment some time ago. A great athlete and runner of the ball he is but a fundamental skill of a half back is to fix and hold defences to create space and time and deliver passes accurately, hes never posessed that as a centre let alone a HB. He has always run overs lines taking the spsce of the players outside him but his balance and off load means it sometimes works, thats not to dismiss the obvious qualities he posesses, but against a team or game situation that requires breaking down, not a HB.

Very poor display especially in the second half.
Having said that Huddersfield played with more desire and a will to win.
Brough as usual ran the show and proves what an ageing half back can do if you have the skill set to do it.
Unfortunately McGuire no longer has that skill.
Those who are saying we will struggle without Hall and Watkins could be right but from last night`s showing neither offered anything in attack.
Moon and Handley as their replacements might offer more maybe.
Personally I would go with Lilley and Moon at HB but that is not going to happen.
If Walker continues playing well maybe Golding to HB simply for his pace which Mags no longer has.
As for the bench last night what was that about?
We needed Burrow on well before the 70 minute mark and we needed to spell one or two of our forwards and Mullalley should have been brought on to do that.
Singleton for me does one or two good things then goes into hiding.
Hopefully a blip that will give us the kick up the backside we need.

First of all if people with different opinions to you make you want to start physically assaulting others I'd get yourself checked in; you're clearly a danger to society.

I would suggest a lack of direction and a diabolical kicking game is the fault of the half backs. Kicking should be one of McGuire's assets as he has been a professional RL player for over 15 years but he hasn't improved that area of his game in the slightest, Brough showed how important a decent kicking game is by dragging a poor Huddersfield team over the finishing line.

We were awful as a team last night but Delaney, Hall, Galloway, Garbutt, Parcell and Walker put the effort in and came out of that game with some credit.

I'm quite happy to keep having my own opinions on how we are playing and how to improve the team, if you don't like it then find a team where all the supporters are spoon fed what to think and say. Good luck with that.

On a positive I thought Walker looked real class - that is a player for the future.

If it were me I would play him at FB, Golding in the halves and Moon back to the centre - stick with it.

Are you saying top tackler JJB did not put the same effort in?

You cannot knock the effort JJB makes, the application is the issue - the number of dumb penalties he gives away is criminal for a senior professional and last night was no exception.

This is exactly spot on. It is wasted energy. Someone putting in the work rate that guy does, should be contiributing more to the team performance from a positive level not a negative. He was poor last night, despite his top top effort in work rate. His missed tackles alone was a contributing factor to the defeat.

As Sal and Gotcha put JJB did put a lot of effort in but he was shooting out of the line leaving space for Huddersfield to take advantage of. He was also pushing the line at the play the ball which is a dangerous game when you have a whistle happy ref.

It is a good job Leeds had an easy week the CC week - it could have been even more embarrassing if they had a hard SL game the week previous (sic)
