Well as predicted at HT its 125-0 to leeds. Oh wait, maybe they did actually underestimate and aren't as immense as they think


6-6 at half time.

Leeds are lucky to be that. The ref has let them get away with loads in the first half.

If he'd penalised them when he should have, the penalty count would be incredibly one sided.

Was always going to be a tough opening 40 mins tonight.

Micheal Witt has looked good in the first 40 minutes.

There is going to be no easy games this year.

Come on Crusaders.

Well the ref just called "MOOOOOOOOVE" and Sinfield dives back on the tackle. No penalty though.

Anyone else apalled by the one sided refereeing being shown at the moment?



Great effort by the Crusaders though, and Leeds don't look so unstoppable.

is it me or are the whinos making their own rules up?

ali put the ball down to play it then changes his mind and picks it back up to play it in a different place!

isnt that classed as a knock on? or not playing the ball propley?

hope we dont get this ref this year! he is from wakey though!

Yes.

Thaler was so biased at times I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

The sheer amount of holding down and messing around that Leeds got away with was disgraceful.


That being said, the better skill and finishing ability just showed at the end. When Leeds finally clicked, they ran over the Crusaders.

Garbage video ref call for Ali's 'try' at the end. I hope that isn't the standard of reffing we have to endure this season. I was hoping that we would soon see some refereeing improvements after several years full time, otherwise why bother?

What an appalling decision by Balsawood, even Lauititi was laughing at being given the try. The Welsh fans having their first taste of SL will not be impressed by the shocking standard of Officialdom tonight!

They all have to get down to SCummings standard. Sounds like they are nearly there.

You'll not see that while the Scumster is at the helm.

No doubt we'll get Silverwood a disproportionate number of times again. What an atrocity of a decision.

After the 'Dick Silverwood Show' last night, I sincerely hope not.

Silverwood obviously had a bet on a 24 point spread like me. Ali's try took Leeds just beyond the 24 point mark so I was well chuffed!

Still a disgraceful decision, mind.
