Excellent post, and about all it needed on this thread. Why didn't you post on page 2? could have saved another 12 pages of nauseating bile.

After Farrells sin binning in the cup game when most Leeds fans wanted a red surely you can see why Wigan fans are very confused why Ablett is on report considering the video ref tells the referee that there is contact with the arm to the head!! Then Coley goes for a tackle that was a pen at worse. For our 1st try Hall hits Gleeson as late!
If Ablett doesnt get a game ban then I would be very suprised!

Who called for Farrell to have a red? surely that is made up.

What actually happend is that Leeds defended the fact that Farrell was sinbinned, when Wigan fans were frothing at the mouth, that despite a late shot on a defenceless player, you all thought he was harshly treated.

This despite the fact that it is clear in the rules that a late challenge is a sinbin.

Right, I haven't seen the incident, and don't know exactly what happened - only that its upset a few people.

So I can have a look before a read too many opinions, can you tell me what time in the game it happened, as it'll be a while before I'll have time to watch the whole game through.

Have you seen the size of Ritchie Myler who was prone on the ground having score a try when he was whacked from behind by Joel Tomkins? IIR all he recieved was a slap on the wrist & a £300 fine.
Have yo seen the size of Burrow who was clattered round the neck by Riddell?
Ablett's challenge was bad & will be dealt with but you need to look at your own team as well before castigating others.

rlAround 17.20 into thisrl

What would you have a Leeds player do in that situation with an opponent over the line and it not been clear whether the ball was grounded or not?

So you condone Tomkin's actions?
I would not want a Leeds player to emulate Tomkins' actions.
The RFL disciplinary committee obviously agree with me otherwise Tomkins would not have been charged or fined.

The play the ball by Peacock that Sinfield hoisted the up and under from was at 15 minutes 00 seconds into the game.



In that situation absolutely yes as I said at the time.

To me it was unclear as to whether or not Myler had grounded the ball and I would have been disgusted had a Leeds player in that situation not gone in to try and prevent the try from being scored.

As for the RFL how difficult would it be for you to find a decision you didn't agree with?

On the day there were shouts of off and Leeds fans I spoke to said it was a red as it was a bad challenge!!
He caught him hip to hip and was already in the air before he kicked!! But yet the "defenceless player" rolled round as though he had been smashed in the head!
And if a late challenge on the kicker is a sin binning it isnt always given! Deacon got hit late in France and yesterday I saw Lunt hit Ben Jeffires late and nothing given!! So it would seem its when it suits! Also why did Hall not recieve a yellow for hitting Gleeson late for our 1st try??

More ill informed bollox Mcguire was in mid air and got taken out by a player charging towards him he fell back and hit the deck and naturally rolled over you plank not a Ronaldo act and then got up.

'Cos it was about a second. You're taught to take the player with the ball out if its a 2 on 1 situation, incase he throws the dummy and goes round you.

I imagine because

1) It wasn't late
2) There was nothing in it

and

3) Even if it had been marginally late (and it wasn't) how would a referee sin bin a player for something that isn't in the book.

and

4) The Coley sin-binning later in the game (even after a warning) was also ludicrous.

A Sin bin is off. Are you not sent from the field? They hardly likely to change something that has been said at all grounds for years and years, to "Sin Bin" "Sin Bin" are they? Off is a far easier word to say.

Nobody said it was a Red on the day, as unlike Wigan fans we seem to be a bit more knowledable with the rules of the game.
