I know my peepers are not what they used to be, but was anyone else having trouble actually seeing the ball last night?

There was also the bizarre effect of Leeds players "vanishing" when they were overlayed with the Sky "on pitch" graphics for 5th tackle.

I thought exactly the same thing mate!

Delaney showed some good skills to put McGuire away for the game breaker, I'm looking forward to seeing a more balanced attack this season with the Donald, Delaney, Eastwood combination instead of mainly going to Senior and Hall. May be interesting to see which side is going to be more profitable.

what about the giants too huh?

Yep - couldn't see the ball much in the first half especially.

Glad it wasn't just me. At times it was like a dynamic spot the ball competition.

Game about as I expected, especially once I saw the snow. I think that type of game will have done the team more good than simply running in 70+ points, as some seem to think they should have done.

Surprised by VR decision on Ali's try - but yet again impressed by what a decent bloke Ali is.

The gulf in class between Buderus and Diskin appeared phenomenal last night.

That really could have been one banana skin had we not been able to bring Buderus back on. He completely changed the game in that second spell.

For me he also had a very good first spell.

Unfortunately, IMO Diskin was just not at the races last night.

This thread should have been named part timers thread and should run all season for those who dont bother going to support their team.

Whilst I would have loved to have gone to the game, I have this thing called a job, like many others, which means I can't just leave it to go and watch a rugby game. HTH

Painfully lame excuse.

A true supporter would book time off to ensure they didn't miss the game. They'd certainly do it if it was a cup semi, cup final or grand final.

Feel free to carry on being an apologist for the part timers though.

If you think that is how the world works, then you are entitled to do so. But there are higher priority's in life than attending rugby matches.

Transation It was on SKY

Many people, including me, feel that when we reach an adult age there are more important things in life that 'i' should show my loyalty to, 17 grown men who I have only had a passing hello with are not one of them.

You need to ask questions when these 17 men are your most important focus in life.

Good look to the Rhinos for the rest of the season, I will attend some games....now anyone seen my bandwaggon? I'm running late!

Being that the game has finished, but mainly for the fact that our resident wind-up merchant is practicing his favourite past-time this morning I'll lock this now.

I apologise to other users for the small person who chooses to act aggressively so often, its probably a hormone inbalance.
