One man's credible defeat is another man's pathetic capitulation

Strange sense of Deja vu

I went to the game tonight. Everyone seemed really positive about it and to pull a crowd of 10300 is fantastic. Regardless of it being the first game and against the current champions, this has to be recognised.

True, not alot of singing, but what to sing?!

It was a massive effort from the Crusaders players. Their fitness was their downfall in the end. I'm surprised they managed to hang on to 6-6 for so long, they looked exhausted at moments of the first half.

Of course their crowds will fall, but everyone I've spoken to has expressed a desire to go again, so why not give them the chance.

Quite enjoyed that, despite slipping and sliding around coming away.

Its all there for Crusaders really, decent stadium, plenty of parking (theres a shopping centre right by, plus the Uni, plenty of spaces).

Just hope the floating fans don't look at the scoreline and reflect on that, it was even for 65 minutes.

Pathetic decision from Silverwood. Blatant cheating as the footage proved it was 100% no try.

Thaler needs sacking really, he is a pathetic excuse of a ref

They all are, not one good one between the lot of em, same for the touch judges.

The acid test so to speak is probably the Catalans game (19th March), although most SL clubs get small gates against the French.

Hull at home next should be a decent draw, can't see it being sold out again but a hearty 8000 would do me nicely.

Conditions were a real leveller.

Once leeds got a cushion they got the confidence to open out and the crusaders tired.

To jonny, in what way was the lauititi try 'blatant cheating'? Lauititi virtually conceded it was no try by preparing for a tackle on the 10 metre line, the ref got the call wrong but being as he isn't involved with either team I don't see how it was ''cheating''?

I think you need to look up the meaning.

But then again......it says ''location: Hull''.

It's decisions like that they should be forced to explain during the mid week show. Had that been a game breaker it would cause horrible controversy.

It was so late in the game, the result was out of question, there was not a single camera angle that even hinted at contact with the floor yet they give it anyway. Would Leeds or anyone else have cared had they chalked it off?

The lack of intelligence the referees have is shocking. Just make the right calls and stop looking for reasons to give something other than the obvious decision.

They should have a segment like "official review" on NFL total access where the head of the refs stands there and goes through decisions when Boots n All starts again, I'd like to see Cummings mumble his way through some of the crap his "refs" come up with week in week out.

Um, Yes- i had leeds -24 so was a clear try

how good was that wrexham team tonight.put together in a few weeks and never played together.i just hope the wrexham public understand this and continue to support the boy for the rest of the season.they can only get better by getting match fit and playing together.as far as the game goes yeah i know leeds were better as far as going forward is concerned but i think the game changed on to moments.leeds second try brilliant.danny mcguire back in the england squad as a winger.leeds third try,you jammy gits.
