So he looked at Ben Cockayne knew he was not going to get to the ball as it was still way up in the air , knew exactly where Cocayne was and ran into him but yet he didn't 'blatanly barge Cockayne'?
Is the grass Blue on you world or what?

After the 2007 Leeds try at Craven Park there is no way any try scored from a forward pass can be criticised by the Leeds fans!!!! Silverwood that day might as well have been over in the US officiating with a big set of headphones and a mic that is the size of his own head!!!!!

I would be interested to know the times Rovers were not square and made contact with the attacking player because I have just watched it again and each time one of our markers was not square they just let them run past them. As for flopping, there were one or two that could have been pulled up but nothing drastic, the JJB one was just impossible to ignore!

Oh and I agree Welham did go for the ball and it should have been play on but then in real time Alibert only had his touch judges opinion on it and blame should go to him for that mistake.

Also Cross hit Cockayne as he just touched the ball. Again in real time it would probably have looked like he was taken off the ball but the contact was shoulder to shoulder. As for Sinfield he aimed for Cockayne and shoulder charged him out the way, Ben had no chance of getting around McShane to get to the ball but Sinfield made sure of it and it was a profession foul which should/could have led to 10 minutes in the bin.

Leeds were constantly offside and how from a Leeds kick off in the second half they were not penalised for being in front of the kicker is beyond me! But you get some decisions, others let the game flow. Think Alibert is always up with play and for a relatively new referee to the full time game he is far ahead of others.

Try pausing it on Sky+, it hits Bens hands not his shoulder, head or anywhere else.

nick hkr if alibert is far ahead of other refs then god help superleague

I'm not saying he is ahead of the others I am saying his development is far ahead of the others considering his relative newness to the Super League.

I think you're a sore loser. Got that? As neither you nor I can read minds then that's my opinion against yours.

And joking aside, it's fairly obvious there was intent or are you telling me Sinfield has a nervous twitch that just happened to kick in when he tried valiantly to get McShane onside (by shoving him out the way...)

All I can say as a Rovers fan is that I have noticed that Leeds tend to finish seasons better than they start them.

Very glad Maguire was in the stands today too.

In these salary cap days anyone can beat anyone on a given day.

But in the end the usual suspects will divide up the spoils, you will be one of them I expect.

I meant Cross, not Charlie.

The thing is mate this team is shambolic! We scored 28 points. If Leeds score 28 points they should win everytime. a champion team 100% of the time should be able to defend that. Even 22 points.

Leeds simply can not defend. We have gone from having awesome defence to been a foooking joke in a small amount of time.

Under 20's lost at Craven Park too.

Glad Sinfield cant talk French or we would of been doomed .

Strange how we like the sky teams comments when they go in our favour, but think they are crap when they dont. Senior changed the game, I like it.

Only if you ignore everything that happened in the subsequent 60 minutes.
