But take a look at the penalties. Obviously the dissent is a bad issue and I agree that needs to be stamped out. But there were some harsh calls today. The 'trip' allowing Wakey to tag on two points and the high shot that Senior got called for by the touch judge spring to mind.



That also works both ways. I said above there was a trip that we got penalised for (And i'm hoping common sense prevails and you will agree that it was a bit harsh) where Webb had got posession and was away. That would have seen us 22-16 up and a different ball game. As it was you were able to push yourselves back in front and gain the momentum.

Hard to say on the sin-bin issue, as personally I felt two of the times Leeds were harshly done to again.

It, of course, does work both ways though.

There were crucial plays after the decision not to take the two that arguably cost us the game. Atkins non attempt to tackle Senior for the Burrow try being one of them

Clearly round the chin, in my opinion this one.

That's fair enough. In my opinion I think it was a 50/50, but there were plenty more of the same kind of challenges from both sides that weren't penalised.

Like the Lauatiti one for example

Think we got away with one bad one though, was it Latu? Can't remember, will watch it again.

Absolutely agree!! If it comes off he'd accept the praise..if it doesn't, then he should accept the blame. It's part and parcel of taking the risk!

If he's not up to taking responsibility for these outcomes, then he should have stook to JK's orders and taken the 2 pts.

Funny how every time we pagger Cas, such has become tradition over the last few years, a load of them trot out the old "we dont care about Wakey, Leeds is the real Derby and the one we are really bothered about" line.... Until Leeds scrape past us, then there's posts like these laughing at us.

I thought it was the correct call at the time.

Leeds had obviously upped the intensity and we were looking vulnerable (even though we had the extra man) From the point of Brough refusing the two, we then had a good 4/5 minutes possession and territory which would have been the game clincher IMO if we had managed to hang on.

We could have easily kicked the two, then surrendered possession straight away to put Leeds in a good position, then the way things were they could easily have scored three tries in that 5 minutes that we had been camped deep in their half.

lost us the game without a doubt

2 weeks ago we won in the last minute because we took the 2 at a point when it seemed pointless this week we lose in the minute cos we did not.

simples yes

Regardless of who was wrong or right regarding going for goal, should Brough (or Drew) take orders from the Coach or do their own thing?

coaches get sacked based on results and performance , with this in mind the player should show respect and do as requested
