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 .

Bent Ham

Probably wanted to deflect attention from the fact that the man of steel winning ex England captain cost his club captain a match winning drop goal for spitting his dummy out after getting walloped by a 19 year old kid.

So you're saying Leeds should have had a penalty?

Got to comment on what game you Rhinos fans were watching

Why is it that every other teams players are always wrong

You go on about Whitehead for a spear tackle,Bateman for making Peacock look rather silly when he tackled him ,Scruton on that clown Bailey

Look at yourselves for not winning tonight,Peacocks discipline,Bailey been Bailey,what a tool he is,etc etc

And sorry almost forgot the ref didn't give you at least two thirds of the penalty count,can't leeds win without this

First thing to clear up about the Whitehead spear is that you can't be sinned binned for it, like other non-professional fouls such as head high tackles, it is penalty or Red card a yellow is not an option... surely we all know this by now? As for Whitehead, then I am afraid that Bentham bottled what should have been a straight Red card for me. We often see spear tackles occur when two or more players are in a tackle and one of the players picks up the legs to try and bring a player down to the deck to complete the tackle, usually without any clear or deliberate intention to do anything other than complete the tackle, but with the momentum of the other players trying to effect the tackle the legs end up the air & the tackle goes wrong. A penalty is generally the correct decision in this type of incident & is usually corectly given as such. However, when it is a one on one tackle & the players legs end up in the air, even if he doesn't follow through completely, then I am sorry but it almost always should be a red card because it is a strictly illegal tacking technique & is outlawed because it is dangerous. Whitehead got this very wrong & very poor tacking technque that is potentially dangerous should be punished severely irrespective of the outcome. We will see what the video review panel & then the disciplinary panel have to say but I feel it should have been dealt with by getting out a red card on the night & as such I think Whitehead should be getting a one match suspension.
