Couldn't agree more. Wasted many hours trying to penetrate the quinns concrete brain.

Haven't seen Sky's take on it but if that's what Stevo droned then for once, he's correct.

I gave the armchair a rest and actually attended

I highly recommend the £2 cheeseburgers with freshly fried onions outside the ground.

Very good performance from all 17. I thought Cas looked dangerous at times in the first half but our defence was organised and pretty solid. All the forwards put us on the front foot.

For me JJB was the MOM with some very good work from McShane. DM looked sharper than we could have hoped for and JP just needs some game time to get his stamina back but again good effort.

Now that we are getting the injured back and form returning for others we look a completely different side. So well done to the the players and coach for hanging on in when things weren't happening for us. They have kept us within striking distance of the leaders who may have their own drop in form and injuries still to come.

Agree to disagree... neither looked forward to me.



One of the benefits of not wearing blue and amber specs is the ability and measured calm to not involve oneself in conspiracy theories about commentators or referees harbouring alleged anti-Leeds bias.

I thought both decisions were a little harsh on Cas and wonder how the game might have panned out had the tries been given but they weren't and one thing I will say is the referee was perfectly in line for both and despite the Sky muppets focus on the linesman both were given instantly by Silverwood. You could hear his whistle before the winger caught them.

However, like Swiftcorn has said, no excuses for that 2nd half from Cas. 12 nil is not a winning margin and the game was there for them but we were far superior.

Good displays all round. I too though JJB was MOM and McShane was excellent. Forwards looked good and it was nice to see the cameo from JP to McGuire. How sharp did McGuire look finishing that one and rounding his mate at the back?

Spectacles come on and off when needed.

JJB was brilliant. I thought he was awesome against Bradford, and he just seems to keep doing it. I also thought Kylie battered the Cas pack, they didn't have anyone as physical.

JJB > Nathan Hindmarsh...

Jamie is doing what he has always done, working really hard for the team and playing above his weight. He must be the fittest member of the Leeds squad and has the heart of a lion.

I thought JJB should have been nailed on MoM on Friday, although Ablett was also very good. Kirke was having one of his working weeks, and looked effective, which makes it all the more frustrating that he can't produce that application every week. When he throws himself into it he's a big guy and takes a toll on the opposing pack, attack and defence.

On the subject of the forward passes, I think the Cas ones and Leeds' second were a touch forward, but I reckon on the Cas tries for every one of those that gets pulled up in SL 10 are allowed to go on, so they were very unlucky in my book. Chase was a constant menace. He does the unexpected a lot of the time.

On Cross, he's beginning to get on my nerves. I recall Richie Blackmore getting sent off for basically the same thing at Cas a few (well, about 10 probably) years ago, and having no complaints. Not only does it give away a penalty when in possession, like somebody said earlier, the game's tough enough without that s**t, which is how jaws get broken. Should have walked, should now get a ban. Idiot.

He's just a big stupid oaf. I'm not sure I've seen anybody give away so many stupid needless penalties, especially so many when in possession

You really do need to check the RFL website before hitting submit. www.therfl.co.uk/disciplinary/item?2650 Pretty much my view of it at the time - didn't think there was any intent to take out the defender with either forearm or elbow, just clumsy.
