Now that's gotta be a joke,right?

I don't think you are a natural brainless troller, you've obviously had to work very hard on it.

I'm sorry to have to break this to you, but they weren't. When you've seen the Widnes pack of the 80's all this c**p comes into perspective. Leeds put themselves about a bit and came away with the 2 points. The ref didn't miss much (apart from sin binning Lee Gilmour for punching Sean Long

), and we still won the penalty count. The game as an entertainment spectacle, is damaged more by messing about at the play the ball, not square markers and persistant offside. And clear winners in that department today were Stains.

Bravo Sir!

Rugby League fan in Peace!

Everyone knows this game has edge, everyone knows both camps have and will continue to have history and personal issues.
Thats why i decided to watch it tonight on Sky rather than tune into BBC Humberside.

But what i cant understand or even begin to accept are chicken wing tackles or hair pulling!
These guys are professionals and KNOW what they are doing!

JJB (or any other player!) should never deliberately try to injure a player in an illegal way. If an injury occurs due to a bone crunching tackle, then so be it, as long as its legal and well intentioned (for the most part) then thats part and parcel of RL. Wrenching a players arm into an unnatural position whilst he's prone on the floor is simply cowardly and should carry a 6 match ban along with 6 matches wages fine.

As for hair pulling - youre kidding me!
16st + guys resorting to the actions of a schoolgirl in a playground.
Thats up there with eye gouging. Cowardly and ultimately the actions of a very very pathetic person.

It doesnt matter if the player is young, old, black, white, dreadlocked, shaven, hated or loved - its above the shoulder, therefore its OUT OF THE EQUATION.

And to the poster who suggested the tackler was going for collar - well i can pretty much assure you that polyester/cotton feels very different to human hair!

Senior got yellowed for how good his slap was rather than what had happened. Graham was doing a Maurie faking an injury, should have been a Leeds penalty.

Leeds won against a very opposed video ref and ref. It's time the refs gave leeds some 30/70 calls.

Rooster - how do you describe the ball steal away from Eastmond then?

Ref gave you that call when the guy was clean in!

Just after McGuire had it knocked out. cheers goodnight.

IMHO Graham is a quality young prop who i think is a shoe in for england but tonight he was handed a good old fashioned spanking!!
I won't say anything about the chicken wing incident as i've yet to see it on T.V. but he did do a good impression of ronaldo from roling about squawking on the deck to getting up and making a miraculous recovery.
ATEOD there's still plenty to play for and the season is far from decided.

so you watched it on t.v then?

and still far far superior than any player in your team....

Peacock by plenty!!
