Ignoring Buderus while attempting to score and Lauitiiti's attacking the Castleford ball carrier and the times players allowed kicks to bounce rather than attempt to take them on the full:

I'd quantify the knock ons:

Keith Senior - 2
Ryan Hall - 2
Jamie Peacock - 2
Luke Burgess - 2
Carl Ablett - 1

The absurd thing is Leeds made fewer errors (knock ons, forward passes, offloads to opposition, missed penalty kicks to touch, conceding penalties) than they did in the perfect playing conditions of Edinburgh in their previous outing.

I had my calf torn open by our footy boot wearing 10. He trod on the back of my leg as I ran past him and ripped it wide open. The doc at A&E was checking if the muscle sheeth had been ripped and got his whole hand in the gash. They weren't blades but plastic studs (not the PVC kite marked rugby ones).

Disa agree re Webb he never looked likely to catch a high ball and his kick return was laboured to say the least but to Say Senior only made one mistake is wrong.

He ripped the ball out for a penalty back chatted to give Cas another 10 and then let Dixon walk in unopposed for the try that three mistakes in one set of six

Firstly, I never said Peacock or Sinfield were immense. Nor did I criticise Mcguire.

But no, I don't think he was "immense".

And as for making the play for the winning penalty................ He had a brain fart, made the dumbest play at Wheldon Road since carl Gibson tapped a Penalty in the premiership playoffs and was very, very lucky that Shenton gave away the penalty.

Confirmation if any were needed that you are a fekwit.

From the replay it looked to me like he banged his temple on the defenders knee. Although the commentry team said they couldn't see it

I'm surprised there's been no mention on here about the pick up for the first of his tries (perhaps it has on forums I don't visit). In ultra slow motion it looked a knock on to me but at a reasonable speed it looked fine. One of those.

The Dixon put down balanced the effect for me. Both had doubts but not enough to rule them out.

Yeah, for me he seemed to catch the ball when the ball hit the mud. Fine for me, it's one of those where once you slow it right down, questions can be asked. Those q's didn't appear at full speed. Great pick-up IMO and the Dixon 'score' is a good use of tit for tat, it all balances out generally.

I don't think McGuire scores there, not unless Shenton disappears.

Had Sherwin held the ball (and he should have) was it still a good play by McGuire rather than setting for a drop attempt centre field on the next play?

It was an aimless punt downfield that worked because a) Sherwin made a complete hash of trying to collect it - if he'd just booted it dead the game would have been over before the drop out was taken, and b) McGuire, having no doubt realised what a cr*p option he'd taken, chased the hell out of it to try and make up for his brain fart.

McGuire got lucky, to try and proclaim it now as some piece of visionary genius is fanboy revisionism of the highest order.

On the one angle it looked like he touched the ball on the way down with his left hand (I think it was), I gave it up at that point only for Wakefield official Ben Thaler to see beyond that and go forward to the touchdown.

Similarly with judging Buderus being outside the 10 metre while clearly in front of the kicker later in the half or did the ball playing the Castleford defender put him onside.

One of these days I'll get around to learning some of the rules.

I thought Thaler got that one spot on, despite the protestations of the muppets on Sky. He wasn't within a ten metre radius of the Castleford player when the ball struck him (or if he was, it was only fractionally), therefore he's onside and play can continue.

That was my interpretation of Thaler's initial ruling on the offside also. So was Buderus hard done to or did he indeed knock on short of the line?

Probably, so he'll have to wait a while longer for his first try for the club. I thought it was a brave attempt considering Feather's bulk was about to land on his outstretched arm, not that he would have considered that.
