Week in and week out they do and it is a shocking part of our game

In the first half Roby was definitely on the tunnel side. Did they swap at half time?

You're right. Great player is your hooker.

However, having to defend yet another repeat set was critical.

C'est la vie. Life does go on.

No one did that other than in response to one of your fans!

Looking back at it now... yes I thought it was a knock on... I still don't think we would of won, I just think we might be looking at a closer game... Bakc to topic though...


But it was bl00dy hillarious how he fell

As with all big games, the team that gets the bounce of the ball (rub of the green, 50/50's, call em whatever you like) usually get the win. Just as we did in the semi. Hope Wire can back it up with a GF win, anyone but Wigan! Just can't see us doing it from 5th this year somehow

suppose if you shout at it loud enough you will give it a roasting

I'm yet to see both the briers knock on or the no try incidents back on the tv so can only go off what I could see at the game so i may be wrong. The briers incident coming so soon after the no try was critical and iirc Warrington scored off the next two sets following the knock on. I'll have a look today but I didn't see a knock on from Kylie and briers did appear to knock on. Having said that though you have to ride above decisions you feel went against you and there's no excuse for a supposed champion side letting their heads drop.

My Leeds mate who was just behind us said 'Just so long as Briers doesn't get the Lance Todd!'

Spot on, except I thought the no try was correct. Kylie touched the ball & once he did Delaney who was in front had to be judged offside, regardless of whether you would would class it as a knock on or not.

Are we all sure of the knock-on rule on here???....I think, and I stress that its I think, its where the ball lands and not where a ball rolls off to, that is the key point.

With this in mind, it isn't a knock-on, simple as.....The ball lands about 2 foot behind where Briers originally fields the ball and then it rolls forward about 6 foot.

We probably need a quick review of the rulebook to sort this out, then we can all stop quibbling....

Therefore the Wire player who picked it up was offside!

Didn't the collecting Wire player come from behind briers though ?

Take off your blue and amber specs.

The BBC reviewed the incident at the end of the game with super-imposed lines through where Briers played the ball and where it landed.

It went backwards by a good 2 or 3 feet, then bounced forwards, to be in front of Briers. That is not a knock on.

The player then taking the ball came from behind Briers, so not offside either.

It's a shame, but Leeds were nowhere near good enough on the day and trying to hang the defeat on 2 incidents (the no-try), is a bit embarrassing really.
