Seems about right. Score was 10-6 to Leeds, around the 30 min mark, one of the only times we actually managed to get Leeds short outside, brilliant handling from us to set Eden through the gap, ill stand corrected if wrong (always do) but we got pulled for crossing/obstruction. No-one from Leeds complained (which is a surprise

), yet was given. Eden was 'likely' to score in the corner, say likely as he was still 20 out but at pace should have scored, thats 10-10, Leeds go down the field and score after getting another penalty further down the field, after that Leeds scored once more before the break, maybe twice, hard to keep count lol.
The penalty count is either very damning or clearly backs up the whole point, officials ALWAYS even it up, will not apologise for that one. Some of the penalties we got at the back end of the game were also laughable. Im not one of these who bashes the referee and cannot accept when we get one our way. Paterson's try was off a forward pass, Leeds had one, maybe 2 that were forward (in the end that doesnt matter as much, all referee's miss them).
What bugged me the most. Offsides, you got pinned (i believe our only penalty first half?) was for you not standing square near your line. other than that we got done for offside in the first half, possibly rightly so, the irony is Leeds spent most of it offside. Dont get me wrong, if i was coach id push the boundries, why not? until you get pinned for it, why not? if the referee is allowing you to be a full foot infront of him (literally in front of him) then why would you go back the full 10? You can see why its frustrating, hence why when he gave a forward pass and offside he got the reason he did second half, way out of his depth, got little help from the idiots out wide also.
With that being said, Leeds easily deserved this win, with a few less mistakes we could have been watching easter monday vs wigan again, this time we seemed to put up a bit more of a fight of it, just ran out of steam again. Your defence was key, the outside backs played a key part in coming further up on the umbrella line to prevent us going wide at all. Big praise for sustaining that all game. Well played, just think you'd get a ton more praise had the man in the middle being consistent.
