Congratulations to Leeds but this is another black day for the sport IMO

Let's face it ... Leeds didn't even need to hit top gear.

Agreed, this was a game and result that Rugby League really could`ve done without, but unfortunately, after a season thats been as flat as Southern Ale, i fear that we will be heading for something very similar come the 10th October...

How did we lose to that shower?

We didn't turn up @ LSV!

Slightly OTT but today shows why Leeds, Wigan and Saints HAVE to be our representative clubs in the WCC.

Finals and big matches that don't include the above are abysmal (see last year as well). It let's the sport down on the days when it needs a spectacle and doesn't help anyone.

Probably the worst loss since we got beat by Celtic in 2007(8?). And I'm including getting smashed by Catalan in that, at least they're a half decent side.

The above sides shouldn't lose to the likes of Cas and KR then.
It's the nature of sport in general that you get drubbings like the one today from time to time, but it seems British RL fans love nothing more than to wallow in their own self pity instead of reveling in the history of the occasion. What was the score in the SOO decider, or every Ashes test, or FA cup final, or world cup semi final?

On a side note, the rendition of 'Abide with me' was one of the most moving things I've ever been apart of. It was worth the trip just for that.

Wasn't it just.

The last FA Cup final saw Aresnal beating Aston Villa 4-0. Hidings happen in sport, all the time, this isn't just a RL issue.

I wouldn't say it was a black day for the sport. Anyone watching that will have taken it for what it was - a very good team beating a garbage team. Happens in every sport from time to time. I think we are the only team capable of preventing a Leeds double now.
