Lets just say if Halley had touched it first in the same way I believe Smith did I would have wanted a try, I feel he got fingers tips to it and ground it. Even if he hadn't I think it was a knock on by Halley, either way it wasn't a try.

Could have had 2 points, but at least we've got 1 out of it.

Great performance from 1-17, effort was there, attacking ideas are back and so is Nero's form!

Some 50/50 decisions definitely went against us, but there's no point dwelling on it. Lets just hope we can kick on from this and continue to play exciting RL.



Oh, and lets sort a goal kicker out.

Indeed, had to be a try or a Halley knock on. Smith didn't ground it.

I'm with you, hopefully the rub of the green will come our way soon.

Well a good game from both teams.

If Halley had touched it like Smith was deemed to have then definate no try. That's my point really though, somehow the Video ref has called the least likely result.

Well it seems fairly clear to me that he grounded it, you obviously disagree which me which is fair enough. Did you watch the incident on the big screen at the game or at home on TV?

I thought Elliot Whitehead produced a few touches in the first half which shows he is a quality backrower in the making, much quieter in the second half but he looks a good'un for you guys.

He is a top prospect.

Halley's try was a great piece of rugby, and an immense step by Halley.


Sheriffe to replace Reardon for me next week.

I think we let Leeds back into the game by gifting them field position from silly penalties. Cut those out and we are home free. I still believe we haven't seen the best from the new new half back pairing and from Kearney at Full back so I'm quite pleased.

Credit where credit is due Leeds were excellent in the last twenty and i think in the end a draw (as gutting as it feels right now) was a fair result.

It was the best performance after the second half against Wigan in fact I'd rate it higher as we did it for 80 mins - the defence at times against sustained pressure was good. Plus we've moved up one place in the table (for the next few hours at least) and kept Leeds out of the top eight. So a draw is better for us than it is for them.

Well played lads.

Unbeliavable game tonight, the ref was awful tonight and brought them back them into the game but we were turning the ball over far too easily but from 1-17 the whole team played well tonight but Reardon dropped a couple of clangers, Well done tonight but we chucked the game away with very silly offloads.

I watched it on Sky tonight (god I wish I was there) and TBH I thought he did alright. One or two wrong decisions (including the Donaldson dropped ball which looked like a ball steal to me and the Reardon Knock on where Smith actually knocked it back) but I think most of the penalties that let Leeds back into it were correct.

Easy to cut those out though.

but.....

Reardon does need to be dropped. Macca is finally getting there with the positions, Kearney to fullback, Halley to the wing finally, the only thing left to do is drop Reardon and put Sheriffe outside of Nero.
