| Sour grapes. It was obviously a try and you were well beaten by a far better team.
Realise the truth.
Absorb the truth.
come to terms with not making the play offs!

| Quote: tvoc "I'd need to at least have a few more looks to judge on that one. As I said before though had the Wigan dummy runner continued his run through the line then there would have been no problem. It's a coached tactic for the dummy runner to halt around the gain line/defensive line to create a block and open a hole in the defence. While Ablett certainly made the most of the block, the Wigan player being stationary there minding his own business as it were, gave the struggling defender an easy way out.'"
True. But that's exactly what's wrong with giving these decisions to the defender throwing themselves at a stationary opponent. There should be nowhere to hide on a rugby field. If he wasn't up to the task at hand (which he wasn't) he/his side should pay the penalty. There was no infringement or hinderence to him making the tackle had he spotted the break early enough. He didn't and was left floundering. Giving players this 'soft option' is, as I said earlier, making a mockery of the rule.

And on the other side of the same coin Wigan's dummy runner was needlessly stood still in the defensive line, causing his own team a problem as it turned out, so it cuts both ways.
At least simple crossing with no defender in touching distance is no longer the automatic penalty that it once was although occasionally it's still blown up.

If you were a genuinely special team, you'd have blown us away by 50 clear points last night. As it was, you deservedly won, but were helped massively in the second half by some extremely dubious refereeing.
Don't worry - we'll be in the play-offs. And yet again, you lot will be kakking your keks at the thought of meeting us.'"
In a way, you're right. In pretty much all of our league games this season, we've been there to be done over.
It therefore begs the question why have five teams, all of whom work under the same regulations and restrictions that Leeds work under, been incapable of doing it?

every team in every professional sport are coached to play the rules to there own advantage.
you change the law and coaches in defence or attack will find a new way to bend them.
