So...have I chosen a bad moment for my first RL game (I'll be supporting London)?! Not been before but bought WC tickets for the Wembley double-header and thought I should check out and support some club rugby first.

Leeds didn't play well at all last night, maybe because of the heat or complacency, who knows? Their concentration levels weren't up, that was obvious. I like Rob Burrow but thought that performance was overrated, covered many metres, evaded many tackles but achieved not a lot, compared with McShane for example.

As for our players, I didn't applaud them off because I wasn't there, but if I had been I would have applauded all except these 8:
4. David Howell
5. Michael Robertson
6. Michael Witt
9. Chad Randall
11. Shane Rodney
12. Chris Bailey
13. Tony Clubb
21. Kieran Dixon.

Quite a missing list. With the possible exception of Howell, all would have played, if fit.

I wouldn't have applauded Roby or Ganson either,

or Mackay.

Indded. I thought that some of the high tackles made by Leeds were far, far worse than the one we got penalised for in the Wigan game, chuck in him missing a fair few forward passes and I'm wondering what was the point of Roby being out there at all. A t least if there were 2 refs one of them would be functioning as something other than a spectator!

Roby's refereeng was by far the worst display of his craft I have seen this season. He should concentrate on growing his beard and do away with top level officialdom.

I think there was a FULL set midway through the second half, Dorn collected the ball on his own line, where no forward took a drive, all the backs ran it in up to about the 40m line, i can't remember for the life of me the last time i saw that.
