Wellens did the same to Webb in the first half did he not

I really don't get the fuss about Webb's challenge. It only looks bad in slow motion.

In real time Webb simply comes in to clean Gardener out exactly as you'd expect a fullback to in that situation. Gardener is already being tackled and therefore Webb has to get low and slide into it...the end result is the contact with the knees but the clear intent is nothing malicious it's simply an attempt to put the player over the whitewash.

Webb wouldn't have got anything in days gone by.

The penalty was only given against him because of the VR.

In the old days it would have been ruled as a simple knock on while attempting to score.

Looking at this tonight, I think even the penalty was a harsh punishment of Webb, although I can understand it being given. The reason there was impact with his knees was because Gardner dived ridiculously early in trying to score. He's dived early to score, the fact that he came into contact with Webb's knees was just the price he should've paid for an attempted try.

BBC said it was for offside

My only qualms last night were he was too quick to blow for Rob Burrow (of all people!) for a high shot on 5 foot 10 inch Sean Long. Clearly hit his shoulder first. Did anyone out of interest purchase a radio? What was he saying whilst waiting for the kick at this incident "Speak up Phil, I cant hear you!" Was the VR telling him he had made a blooper?
Next, Last week Pryce went in with the knees on a Wigan player - no action. Last night Webb was penalised. Consistency please!
Perhaps a word in Grahams ear when he lost it on 79 and a half minutes might have been a good idea. As for not letting us have a final play of the ball - I agreed with that one. It had almost boiled over thanks to the ginger ones antics and I believe Ganson felt that one more play might have exploded if JP or JJB had gone down the line to the ginger one.

Yeah, but that was their intial guess when the penalty was given.

That's because it was a bull5hit penalty that no one had a clue what it was for, until Ganson made a barging motion and named Senior for it. Then Ganson said it was a penalty for blocking.

Then the BBC had a look at the replay and Davies concluded it was very harsh on Keith.

TBF I thought it was given for offside in the ground because it looked to come off Senior from my angle.

I said after the 1st replay that it was a penalty too for knees in by Webb. Never a sending off but certainly it warranted a penalty.

Also someone mentioned an offside by Saints when Hall passed the ball back inside when he was being forced into touch. Thats the only decision in real time that I brought up.

Its all good having seen the replays to say he got this and that wrong but in a split second of game time it can be difficult.

I thought he was superb yesterday.

I don't know anything about a Saints offside for that because the BBC didn't show it, but IMO we deserved to lose possession from that because of Keith's stupid offload.

On a similar vein, I don't think Gardner did actually knock on when Gidley threw the terrible ball to him from acting HB.

Gansons signal was a forward pass. Forget what the coms make up



I agree it was silly play by Senior in the 1st place that put pressure on Hall but had his pass not have been touched in flight it may have found a Leeds player.

Anyway, im not even that bothered. It didnt really effect the game and I only brought it up as I saw it in the ground and it wqas the only thing that I saw him miss.... which isnt bad at all really.
