Penalised for tackling under the armpit. RIP Rugby League

How can the commentary team call this a great game, just because it's close. Are we going down smiths assertion that because anyone can beat anyone that the comps in great health.

cam.smith has killed every move tonight

Where’s he made a penalty up from that?

Took the words right out of my mouth

Lose tonight and we are 4 points off 6th (which at the start of the season I would have said was the absolute minimum that could be acceptable). We’re 2 points of 10th if we lose. We haven’t won a CC game for 3 years, is that good enough? If not what will change?

Welsby apart shocking standard all round. We are clueless with the ball. Saints not much better and the Ref had a shocker.

The Standard of Leeds and the referee was shocking

Poor but Welsby was the difference

We are shte. 2 games running with everything in our favour to get into the top 6 and we play like amateurs. Absolute bollox leeds. Seasons done.

Expectations lowering every year in a league that gets weaker every year. We're going backwards, add another 5 more years to the transition it'll be alright.

Didn't help that the ref gave them absolutely everything in the second half, embarrassingly poor officiating

Too many of the pivotal or high paid paid players just haven’t performed tonight. And it’s not fair to just level it at the likes of Sezer. Oldezki really should have been putting his mark on this game, he didn’t. Cam Smith stifled so much of the ball tonight it wasn’t even funny.

There were some positives, Macdonald continues to prove value, same with McDonnell. I thought Johnson added off the bench. But the bottom line at the minute is we aren’t performing like a team that belongs in the playoffs often enough.

Having said all that, the ruck was atrocious tonight and despite some good skill and a tight affair, I’d hate to have tried to watch that as a neutral or someone new to the game.

Got what we deserved. Again.

Happening too often.

Scrappy game, neither team played well, not one to usually mention the ref but he had a shocker.

Games truly gone soft if that Holdroyd tackle on Bell is a high shot
