Lomax has had a shocker so far tonight, trying way too hard. Needs to run himself a bit more too rather than put people through non-existent holes.

What do you see him as primarily as he seems to get shifted around a fair bit

[DavidM]

What ? What is that for ? How can you ignore every ptb then ping that 

[chuffer]

oh Danny

[chuffer]

foot didnt touch the ball

[Davo5]

Back to back cheap penalties for Saints.

[Vernon]

It'll be 60 pens per game now

 

[chuffer]

doh!

[GeordieSaint]

This is a poor game; Saints have been rubbish. So scrappy.

They are showing class and stupidity in rich mixture.

Was it not a combination of not getting up correctly and then not playing it with the foot, you seem to be allowed to get away with one but not both.

[Man of Kent]

Good game this. Have to admire Leeds’ sheer competitiveness.

Agreed , they’d soon get the message as Brian said and it may help clean things up in that area 

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

Go Go Gash!

I thought it was because when he called surrender, the ball was touching the floor. Ablett then played the ball without lifting the ball off the floor - presumably it's viewed as something similar to playing the ball without regaining your feet? It did baffle me too though. 

think he'd have been ok if there's at least been contact with the foot

[DavidM]

Leeds are just hanging in on grit and willpower and could end up taking this 

[chuffer]

my my...

[GeordieSaint]
