My thoughts part deux.

Quote: EmmaMur01 "1). Where were our forwards?? Nine times out of ten our backs were running the ball out with our forwards stood watching.
2). We were garbage.
3). Both tries in the first half were scored from a forward pass.
4). Ablett shouldn't have been sin binned for that. A penalty yes, not a sinbinning.
5). Our best players were Rob and Hall.
6). This one is from my brother but I agree with it. Rugby league will never be a top game in this country while so many decisions are down to interpretations. Webb had to be seen to be trying to get back on side. WTF?? Its like when players are jumping for the ball. If you are looking at the ball its ok but if you are not, you are not going for it???'"

1. Agree our pack were poor today. Thought the pick out of them were Kirke and Burgess.

2. We were but was that down to us? Or was it down to Bradford not letting us play? One to think about.

3. Both looked forward from one angle, but ok from another. No complaints with either.

4. Looking at the reply, the touchjudge, who was closest to the incident, put his flag up to indicate player in touch and Leeds scrum. Why then did Smith, who went to his touchjudge's for a lot during the game, ignore that call and penalise Ablett?

5. Agreed, although was happier with Buderus today. Better distribution and a hell of a lot of defensive work. Can't wait to see him fully fit and fully intergrated.

6. It's a good point. The fact is, a referee has way too much influence on every game of RL. If a ref wants you to lose, you'll lose.
