There is no need for the word "hate" in ANY chant. I "hate" rapists, murderers and chavs ( ), I don't "hate" professional sportsmen who are doing their best for their club. Dislike? Perhaps... Hate? Never - especisally if their club has just made a huge gesture of support for my club. But then again, I guess I'm making the mistake of using rationality...

We dislike Rhinos doesn't really scan though does it?

If you find it distasteful that someone is able to simultaneously feel genuine gratitude for the club whilst at the same time desperately want them to lose, then I don't think you understand sport.

Oh, and whatever you do, don't go to a pantomime. People actually boo the people on stage after paying money to see them. Seriously!

You can desperately want a team to lose and boo them all night long - doesn't mean you have to hate them, whether it "scans" or not!

Pathetic. Obviously missed last dozen derby games!

if you thought thought,or are you certain there was more than 18k?why not ask regular Leeds fans who can usually estimate the crowd quite accurately?

well you know to some of us they are only psuedo derby games.Our real derby rivals was always Hunslet,another club that fell on hard times that help pull you out of the mire "AGAIN"

Anyway back to the game itself....

I thought it was an entertaining game to watch and there was some pretty good tries scored. Not a lot between the two sides except we pretty much beat ourselves with some uncharacteristic errors that gifted a few tries to Leeds. Sammut and Pryce running into each other for the bomb was a bit embarrassing. But I thought the scoreline probably flattered Leeds a bit towards the end but if by some miracle we make the play offs after points deductions, I would hold no fears about going to Headingly.

Hargreaves was immense and I'd be interested to know why BJ didn't play? I think for this game he would have been a better option than O'Brien.

Sammut was chosen ahead of BJ. I think BJ has played well enough to warrant his spot on the field. Did not deserve to be dropped after the London game.

Apparently BJs defence is worse despite missing fewer tackles in more games

Was expecting quite a lot of the Fat Dogs but all they sung was Wigan or Bradford City songs not to mention annoying innocent suits on the way to Headingley from Leeds station. Drunk chavs is Wigans thing, don't follow down that route.


Thats rich coming from a set of fans who have been singing football songs for years, marching on together stolen from Leeds UTD.

On the game...

I believe the scoreline did flatter Leeds but they edged it in terms of finishing quality, generally mopping up our mistakes. Was a big loss losing Kearney as he was looking dangerous running some nice lines in attack.

Some big hits from both sides and as always a tough derby game with a cracking atmo..

Text book chicken wing by mcguire on Kearney which went unpunished. He stayed on but would be interesting to know what kept him off

typical luck for the bulls! get back crookes and scruton (both played for reserves) and lose platt and kearney!

Didn't get to the game, had to work

I personally think some of my fellow rhinos fans have been a tad sensitive about the chanting "we hate whinos" it's a derby game and I would expect some banter. I don't suspect people hate Leeds or many of us want to get "fathers gun".

You can still appreciate the act of helping out your club and still give banter at the games. I enjoy some light hearted banter.
