Can't do pictures on my phone but please someone get a freeze frame which clearly shows that Tamou and Garbutt were holding shirts and eyeballing each other just to shut this idiot up.

A back line is never going to be able to win a game against a perfectly organised team like NQ all by itself without halves providing a decent service.

Leeds have just lost too many key players in a short space of time. They'll be fine but they are probably in transition now.

This cannot be true


if this is an honest statement.

Looked like Garbutt hits Tamou whilst Tamou is looking at Galloway from what I remember watching at the time.

I know people will scream "excuse" but even if you forget the 3 guys who retired, Briscoe and McGuire won the individual awards in our cup and GF wins, no teams lose guys like that and put in youngsters and not see a impact.

I've watched the video time and time again, Good luck finding a screenshot of Tamou HOLDING Garbutts shirt, it doesn't happen!

If I recall correctly we can't link videos on here but if you are on facebook look at the video on the rugby league banter page.

Garbutt clearly grabs hold of Tamou when he is looking at Galloway, cocks his right arm back and the only point Tamou so much as touches Garbutt is when he tries to remove Garbutts left arm of him, At which point garbutts right hand is about an inch away from his face...

Paul Green, the NQC coaches view on Garbutts leatherface impression "it was a punch, a pretty good one actually"

On youtube already, Tamou is looking directly at Galloway and expecting a bit of a scuffle with him, Garbutt just smacks him in the mush, i'd say 3-4 games as Garbutt was not under threat at all, it would be six months if it happened down the high street.

James Tamou, looking directly at Keith Galloway with his arms down apparently.

It would be 6 months for a bloodied nose? I hope you're not a judge.

Re the game itself, the lack of structure in SL vs the NRL was evident again. That's why the Roosters could play with two rookie halfbacks and barely miss a beat whereas Leeds do and look fairly hopeless with the ball.

To me it screams for the need for better technical coaching in SL. The difference in quality of players physically is one thing, but to lose heavily in part due to an inability to make structured plays in attack (and read them in defence) is something that ought to be fixable.

nice screenshot... not sure how he was supposed to still be looking at Keith galloway after he'd just been punched in the face though ....

pretty obvious tamou and galloway are eying each other up whilst garbutt is busy swinging his arm in.

Garbutt literally takes two more steps before hitting Tamou.

But either way, you have made up your mind. Your Mrs Lovejoy impression is not going to make a difference to anybody
