Great effort but i left Headingley disappointed.

Reardon had a mare under the high ball. I would like to give him some defence for the first Leeds try though. He had to come in, i think it was 4 against 2. TBH i think all McGuire had to do was show dummy and he was in given the gap infront of him but took the safer option.

Plus at the end Kearney was looking for the pen. He obviously thought Leeds weren't square and as soon as he scooted he was looking at Bentham for something.

I'm not really sure how to reflect on losing a 20-6 lead in 20 mins to a team with 12 men for ten of those. I'm not one to really moan about ref, but a few calls went against us plus the bounce of ball.

Is it just me or does everyone despise Ryan Bailey, the guy is just a pure thug, and a penalty machine. The amount of cheap shots from him tonight was mind blowing, and when Kearney was on the deck he comes flying in with a swinging arm towards his head. Just can't understand him, supposed to be a family game but don't think you can call it that with this toothless prat playing.

Yep agreed, Bailey shouldn't have played tonight total thug of a player.

A game you should have won! Leeds were ing ! you were the better team! End of! Leeds needs a massive slap

Delluded

scruton trying to take a Leeds players head off will last long in the memory! The word is scruton has well and truley burnt his bridges! Let's see if he's the big man when beastwood and peacock smash him !

But is Scruton well known for being a dirty player? Don't think so. Everyone knows Bailey is known for being a dirty player and has been for a while, and have to say Scrutons tackle was legal, and was very well timed. Scruton has impressed me every game this season and i have to say it was a mistake you letting him go.

Beastwood might smash a few burgers down whilst he's recuperating from his 'to much wrist action' injury. I'm sure he'll give up smashing his toy train after he hurt the wrist from to much of it though.

That's the only smashing he'll be doing though.

I thought you where totally robbed tonight by an incompetent Ref. Leeds got all the 50/50s and the back to back penalties allowing them to waltz up the field were just down right criminal !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Regarding the ref; it seems to happen quite often that a ref sinbins a player for 10 mins, and then starts to award penalties to that team to compensate for the loss of the player... or is it just me?

I thought the sinbinning of Buderus was the turning point last night

I don't think the ref had any real impact on the result at all, Leeds just clawed it back.

For what it's worth, I thought you were head and shoulders above Leeds for 80% of the game.

I'm not blaming the ref in anyway - we had enough chances to get ourselves out of trouble.

It seems to happen in most matches though when a man is sinbinned (not just ours)

Looks like those of us who DID think Bentham went out of his way to help Leeds in the last quarter (and I see that includes a few Leeds fans too) will find a diplomatic Macca echoing that sentiment in the T&A report

"...some other people..."?

WTF was Kearney thinking? You had that in the bag, Orford would not of missed.

All in all a good game and credit to both sides. I thought we (Bulls) should have won, but we made a few costly errors towards the end which Leeds took advantage of.

I still think Reardon is not a winger. His positional play in defence was very poor (he keeps coming inside rather than marking his opposote number) and he dropped a couple of high balls at a crucial stage of the game. On saying this, I have a lot of respect for him as a player and I'd like to see him tried out at centre instead of Nero. I know that Nero had a great game but he's one of these players who will have one great game then for the following 5 or 6 games he retreats into his shell.
