Was the elbow intentional? the pick up and kick was.

 

Most high takes are unintentional, contact with the head doesn't require intention to penalise. If not intentional is was reckless from Myler and that is enough to action by the laws of the game.

[Tommygilf]

So glad it was Watts who dropped that

[corvusxiii]

So courageous by Leeds.

[PREPOSTEROUS]

Game over. 

[Futtocks]

Rhyse Martin in - game over, er, probably.

2 points ahead with nearly 15 to go, not the tine to "kill the game"

Case in point, they've not been in Leeds' half since and have tried short kick offs each time since

[Rupert Prince]

The gaps in the end did for Cas.  Its amazing that Leeds did not kill off the game earlier. There were plenty of gaps on the line.

But there were a huge number of lost ball, strips and knock ons. 

[dkw]

I don't think that can be given as a penalty try, though its a sin binning.

Well what do i know....

[Tommygilf]

Phil Clarke's dislike of Leeds is hilarious 

[PREPOSTEROUS]

Maybe not game over.

[Futtocks]

Oh boy - not looking forward to the next 20 pages of bickering about that!

I just said to the boss not enough in that for a penalty try, oh well.

[LeytherRob]

That doesn't look good from Hurrell, looking only at the man and catches him high and early. Lucky to escape the bin for professional foul there.

[Tommygilf]

Double incoming

I just didn't think you could say he was definitely getting control of it. 

[Futtocks]

Not to worry, Leeds fans, Cas just banjaxed their last chance.

[PREPOSTEROUS]

Good game. The sending off could've ruined the game but credit to Cas for making a game of it. Leeds struggled to break the 12 man down which could be a worry. Still, two cracking games tonight.

Because Hurrell tackled him before he got the ball.

And that is the point with a penalty try, it has to be that you are sure he would have scored without the interference. Didn't look to me that the catch was 100% nailed on.

[Ullman]

Great effort by Cas to keep the game competitive until the hooter.

[rhinos78]

Cas played well, Leeds were utter rubbish.

Dont think iv ever been so angry after a win.

Jeez, don't be a drama queen.

First time a Leeds cup final winning side has won the next game they've played in 40+ years.

Was a clear penalty try and don’t know how he avoided being binned. 

I don’t like berating refs as it’s a difficult job and they don’t get all the angles we do on tv but it wasn’t a good performance by Grant. I’ve not seen much of him before but hope he learns from it. Leeds massively got the rub of the green. Myler and Hurrell should’ve seen 10 minutes in the bin

Unless it was Mathers on the end of the kick, it was nailed on. Even amateurs would’ve caught that and put it down
