I don't think the ref had a major effect on the outcome of the game. We still lack that clinical edge to kill off a game. We were 20-6 up with a man advantage and we still have a problem with conversions. Missed kicks cost us 4 points on the board and 2 points on the table.

We did look a different side when Sykes went down injured. Just wonder, if he's still groggy on Monday, will we see the début of young Southernwood? Because I would leave the side pretty much as it stands with Kearney at FB and Halley on the wing. The 2 tries he scored should help improve Nero's mood and might spark him into some sort of form but he's still not clicked with Reardon so perhaps a reintroduction of Sherriffe to the side on the left wing?

Rubbish! The ref had a very good game tonight, in what turned out to be a classic. I'd have taken that point before the game, whilst as well as we played for 60 minutes it feels like 1 point dropped, I was really proud of all the players tonight. I'd take watching a performance like that every week!

And remember, of the comebacks this season, we've taken 3 league points to one dropped against arguably the best 2 sides in the comp.

While the ref made two really wrong decisions in Leeds favour, your coach needs to do something about Reardon: he's a bit of a liability on the wing.

I was on the edge of my seat at the end of that match, hoping you'd hold on! A shame you didn't but at least you got one point (and had Lynch succeeded with that drop goal, what a score that would have been!).

Thought the Bulls were the best team tonight TBH but Leeds never gave, someone needs to tell Donaldson that with about 4 minutes left he needs to hold the ball in two hands, "up the jumper time" my friend. Unlucky not to get 2 points tonight IMO.

i think reardon is a liability some of the time but he also comes up with some good plays so im not too sure about him yet.

thought nero played his heart out tonight.

you mean the time when 2 on 1 tackle and got ripped out? so much happened in the last 5 mins.

you lot choked big time. Reardon? Surely there's someone better? Langley is a tank as ever. If you lot put that effort into every game then you should be top 6 easily...

Thought you were excellent tonight and deserved both points. Great game and i'm glad sinfield missed that touchline conversion.

They didn't choke. They were out on their feet for the last 15. They came out of the blocks all guns blazing in the first half; it was bound to tell in the second. Just a pity they couldn't hold on for a win. I thought Bradford played the better rugby all the way through and deserved to win.

The Ref didn't loose you the game your players did. You shouldn't of threw away a 14 point lead but there was some peices of brilliance ie; the Sinfield dummy, the Macguire kick. What a finish though - a bruising encounter, i said it on the Wire forum and ill say it again, i think both teams will lose on monday that must of took alot out of them. If Bradford play like that all season they will make the eigth and although you let a 14 - 0 lead slip your defence at times was awesome. The better team lost a point imo!

Thought Reardon was poor. He has had time to get match fit etc by now but he is showing no signs of improvement. He is constantly being caught out of position and his knock on's tonight proved costly.

However saying that I moaned that Nero was playing when I saw the line ups!

I didn't think the ref was too bad to be honest I thought we were the better team for most of that match I just think Reardon let us down in defence but it was a bloody good game I almost had a heart attack if only lynch got that drop goal...

We picked a point up on the road at the super dooper champ of champs. Hardly choked.
If anybody choked it was the super Rhinos in front of their own crowd.

got to be proud of the lads after that. 1st half they played some fantastic rugby that kind of handling and invention has been missing the last few seasons we should of won and would of won if we had a kicker, as good as orford is his goal kicking is going to cost us in big matches that go down to the wire.
we ned to kick on and pick up 2 wins now but its going to be hard with crusaders not having to play tonight
