think kearney was looking for penalty as leeds were offside as when he was tackled looked at bentham but he didnt give it think all 50/50 calls went against us as big call in 2nd half where he said reardon knocked on if hed gone to vr hed have seen came off smith plus think in 1st half were nero tried to play ball with webb on floor not even trying to roll away was interferance and he gives a bulls knock on

thats my moan about ref
the plus points defo keep sykes at so as he really had a good game there and we missed him when he went off injuired.kearney will only get better at fb once harder pitches come and halley looked alot better on wing all id do is drop reardon as didnt have a good game and how many tries now has he cost us by coming too far in field id play either crookes or sherriffe on that wing

feel sorry for james donaldson as the lad looked gutted at the end but to be fair to him think it was a 2 on 1 ball steal rather then him losing ball

Hopefully Kearney will learn from this. It SHOULD have been a penalty but Bentham would never have given a penalty in that situation. I'm surprised they appointed him for such a big game, he is IMO the most inconsistent ref in SL. The amount of poor ref's we have is a big concern and quite a few touchies surely are close to retiring? Do we have enough quality coming through to replace the current lot though?

your spot on there as bentham didnt have bottle to give penalty.i cant remember when bentham had a good game for bulls as from wat i can remember always gives 50/50 calls to other team has the guy got it in for bulls or is the glare off his crome dome effecting his judgement

We didn't get much luck in the last quarter that's for sure. We could certainly have done with the odd fifty fifty call going our way in that period, though that's not to say we didn't get any through the rest of the game because we did, but having to defend for such long periods, at the scrag end of what had been a very physical encounter, didn't do us any favours at all and was always going to leave us under the cosh.

I think we battled tremendously in that period of the game to be honest, and the point we got was hard earned against a strong Leeds team. Much impressed by the increased fluency of the handling too, the season is getting better.

Spot on IMO.

yep think there were alot of positives to come out of that game makes me laugh leeds fans saying thats best bulls will play as i dont feel we have hit our straps yet and once we do think one team will get a tonking

I think the Glenn Hall offload was a massive decision against us too. He called held simultaneously with Hall offloading and told Hall that the ball carrying arm had touched the ground in his explanation. It clearly hadn't and I think that was the start of the Leeds momentum. Poor call from Bentham, but after calling held too early he had no choice but to penalise.. clown.

Indeed.

From a neutral's POV (who wanted Leeds to lose ), what you say is exactly what I was shouting at my telly/discussing with my mates (depending on the point!).

It was a crackin match though even if the result wasn't quite right. Still, one point is better than none I guess.

If I am not mistaken Bailey the penalty machine has given 7 penalties in 7 games this season
Don`t recall any cheap shots from him last night.
Whilst you are w$nking over Scrutons hit on Ambler. I thought McGuires hit was pretty impressive too.
FWIW you were much better for the first 60 minutes yet we could have won the game in the end had the ball gone to Sinfield instead of Kylie.
I think both teams need to improve and I am sure they will come the back end of the season.

What a load of . You didn't see Scruton laughing along with the Leeds players after the game had finished then?

You've a lot of time on your hands havent you fella. I hate to think what you were picturing in your mind while you were typing this. Still thats OK its all down to freedom of choice and your own prefered sexual orientation at the end of the day. It is 2010 afterall.

Ah I was drunk and peed off with Leeds poor showing last night! I try not to post when I've had a few.
