I think there's some merit in clapping the players off after that display. Let's face it their confidence was probably shot to pieces after the Wigan game. The general response from our fans was to say keep your heads up, you're better than that, keep going. I think that's a positive message.

FWIW I hold the club management far more responsible for our current woes than individual players.

Think the lads put in a good shift last night - from my vantage point in the armchair. Leeds never got into a high gear, did what they had to do but yes, it's a plus not getting hammered. This season is an official disaster zone so you've got to take whatever small pleasures you can. What was with Kaufusi last night? Where's he been hiding? And that little chip and run from Soward, great stuff - shame it resulted in nowt.
Was that Mark, tipping Guru, Rammond waving his beer about in shirt and tie? As for the drum....think he needs to get something with a bit more oomf, that one sounded like someone banging against corrugated iron

Very poor at keeping Leeds onside, and he turned a blind eye to far too many headshots against London players. I can see the benefit of having 2 referees like in the NRL if it cleans up this sort of thing, but there's nothing you can do when a referee simply ignores foul or dangerous play.

Him and his touch judges also couldn't see a Broncos player blatantly put his foot on the line as he collected a ball

Poor

I watched Ganson on super league superstars the other night and he pretty much said SL refs are generally a poor standard

Roby & Childs are dreadful. I've said it many times before they are frustrated linesmen and ref like linesmen. They are too effeminate to strike up manly rugby like relationships!!

where they get the respect of the players.

yeah this infuriated me too, leeds got the scrum formed first in the end as well

Obviously a better display in the heat (Heathrow's max was 34.2C or 93.5 for us old b*gg*rs, the highest temperature recorded in the UK for 10 years), but still not good enough. I suspect that with the heat Leeds decided just to do enough to win, except for Rob Burrow - SL's version of the Road Runner!

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.
