Your guys played well, but ran out of steam and the Rhinos got the benefit of the video ref. If this had been a normal non-tv game, you'd be 2 league pts better off now.
For what it's worth as a neutrel...I wouldn't have given a penalty try, only on the basis that I've seen much more clear cut examples when the player has had ball in hand...over the line etc...not given!! Hence on that basis only....for me a penalty YES, a penalty try NO!
Good luck, there were plenty of positives to build on!!
I think most of the players should be happy with the performance and take that into the next game. It was unlucky for us that we picked up a couple of injuries and had to finish light on players, but such is life. It has to be said that Leeds deserve credit for not giving up.
Reading both this thread and others and then threads on the Rhinos board it does seem odd that people are focusing so much on the penalty try (which was a clear decision) and Walker's try (which I think was a try but can see why it wasnt given) when the real big big decision that I really cannot understand is how Leuluai's try was given. Buderus was clearly offside and the try was handed to the video referee, but it wasnt looked at.
There are plenty of positives to take out of the game and hopefully next week we will give Wigan a good run for their money. Let's hope for a big crowd and a big game from all the players! As gutted as I am about not winning yesterday, I don't mind because We have 2 more chances this season to shut the Rhinos up and prove we were not ahead 28-10 for nothing!
