| Rugby League remains the best sport to watch.
I really enjoyed the game. Of course, we can play much better but so could Leeds. Lots of mistakes and wrong decisions but loved it. Those who didn't enjoy it should watch a game of tip-tap or South Africa v Lions or a full game from Rugby League in the past. Perhaps rugby league isn't for them and they ought to find something else to do instead of moaning.
Who knows how the season will pan out. We could lose to half a dozen clubs in the league and beat everyone ... but that's sport.

You need to put an 'in my opinion' there.
Look, there is absolutely nothing wrong with pointing out that the quality of the game is rotten. You might find mistakes aplenty entertaining, some people don't.
Personally, I found last night (& most games this season) a difficult watch. A close finish doesn't make up for the preceding 70 minutes being of a poor quality.

Sorry of course it is my opinion. But why oh why do you keep watching if it is giving you no pleasure? There are other things to do. Stop watching, stop moaning on this forum there is new world out there for you.

| A mistake laden but compelling contest in my view. Never knew what was going to happen next. Harsh to criticise the players on such a short turn around.
Charnley has reverted to boogering around in the tackle which really annoys me. Toby King still some way off his best.
I’m not sure what the call should have been on the Charnley 2 nd try. My gut feeling was he didn’t ground the ball, BUT that Dwyer stole the ball in the tackle with more than one player involved. I suspect that would then have been a penalty try but Sky were noticeably shy about that issue!
The Newman try was class, but perhaps a little early to deify him.
Akouala putting in his usual stint…
Cooper put in a real shift and Ratchford showing again that full back is his natural position. Danny Walker could and probably should have been brought on earlier.
A win without really clicking.
I still think this is the game for me!

| Danny Walker is a cracker. He must have more game time. I have said before I have no problems with him & Daryl Clark on the pitch.

No, you can steal the ball in the tackle over the try line. However I think Dwyer then went into touch so it would have been Wire ball.

It's probably a lifetime, emotional connection to the club, same that goes for why most sports fans follow their teams through thick and thin, that keeps me watching. Certainly, if last night's game hadn't involved Wire, I'd have switched off about 20 minutes in.
Like I say, if you find mistake-athons entertaining, then fill your boots, I just find it a frustrating and, eventually, tedious watch. Yes, I know sport is unpredictable and not every game can, or will be, a classic, but I think too many RL games are now error strewn affairs and badly officiated, and that can't be good for the long term future of the game.

Really?... that's an odd rule then. So Dwyer could have ran the length of the field and scored last night, but another yard down field and it would be a penalty to Wire??

| Thanks RG, at the back of my mind I thought there was something “special” about the in goal area but I couldn’t remember.

Did you play much? Cos I reckon those who played or coached tend to have a bit more sympathy ... everybody who has played has dropped the ball and missed a tackle even when they are trying like hell ... unless of course you are Garry Schofield.
