Agreed.

but at that point,you were 6 points up and on top and in control.
you then lost the plot.peacock especially.
surely if anything you should be having at go at bailey,mcguire,peacock,ablett,delaney who all seemed more interested in the niggly stuff than putting the game to bed.
the referee's calls didn't cost leeds the game,their players indiscipline did.

Wrong. The tackle was not even close to being high, it was a bad head clash, as shown on the replay and Bentham said he had called held.

That Spear/dangerous tackle was outrageous and dangerous

I'm sure other refs would have looked at that in a much darker view than maybe Bentham saw it


And 'orrible sod barged into me in Long Bar grrr

Yet no one has mentioned bailey running in and raising the elbow at diskin after the spear tackle. With all the fuss McDermott made about shoulder contract earlier this year I wonder what will be said with one of his player doing the same at a player without the ball

Are you serious?

Yes, if I could post the pic I would. You watch the incident again I would bet my house that he ran in and raised the arm at him. If shoulder charges are banned for tackling players so is that!

I've no qualms with 95% of the penalties against us but if you watch the game especially 1st half there were just as many "offside calls" we didn't get in the Bulls 20/30m zone.
The high tackle call against Bailey was simply because it was Bailey and far worse went unpunished.
The Whitehead tackle was dangerous and should be a minimum 10 minute sin bin irrespective if he landed on his neck or head.
I agree Ablett was a liability and also JP got the yellow you could see coming because Bentham had lost the plot and not taken control of the ruck ,niggling,offsides from both teams much earlier.
Finally i'm a firm believer that where we have VR's they should be allowed to correct wrong calls the Sinfield knock on was shocking and a pure guess and only added to the extra pressure we found ourselves under.
The result was fair enough both teams gave their all and got stuck in whilst both sets of fans can point to calls not going there way or mistakes their team made but for me the standard of offficials is going downhill on a weekly basis and still nothing gets done.

It's your goal line defence in the second half you can thank for the draw. Nearly got you the win too.

You have to be able to overcome the hardship of referees going against you and today we didn't. Unfortunate.

However I think Bentham's quite notorious recent history with Leeds remains a major problem. Clearly the players haven't forgotten either - Peacock bluntly painted a Bentham shaft line from the events of Wembley 2011 to the present day post game in the R2K bar.

I will be a happy man when Watkins goes back to his centre position .
