All he had to do was put the f*cking ball down.

The useless, useless ba$tard.

And now Leeds force an error from Davies, two tries to Briscoe.

Is that you Gordon?

[Hvy wg]

No Maloney no performance.

Absolute shocker from us.

[Rugbyleaguesupporter]

Leeds looking good. How much better is it with Pyke on commentary too- much better broadcasting voice 

[Old Frightful]

Great stuff from Leeds.

I think I need a lie down.

Could you ever see me in a red and white scarf?

Still a long way to go but at some point people are going to start taking this really quite good Leeds team seriously.

I think you were close when the Bluddy Targers played Arsenal in the FA Cup Final.

[Ullman]

What a tackle by Dwyer on Kasiano.

[Spotty Herbert]

The last ten have all been a bit easy .....

[GUBRATS]

Oh dear

But fair enough they did that to us at the LSV 

[M j M]

Leeds bench tonight is too lightweight to cope with this lot.

[Futtocks]

A few minutes on the phone with my dad when the Rhinos were in front, then I switch the TV back on to see that the Catalans have woken up.

[Rupert Prince]

poor decision by ref because it was not a knock on, but the tackle round the neck was a foul before that.

[Archie Gordon]

Mourgue - best player in Europe.

Correct, but still haven't seen O'Connor?

[Southerner]

Catalans on fire here.
Gone up a gear or two after the break. 
Top match so far. 

[M j M]

Good video ref decision that. I think it's the right call but probably the wrong one if you follow the dumb protocol that gives weight to Thaler's opinion.

[Just Browny]

Not sure what Wells was moaning about really. The pictures seemed to show he didnt get the ball near the ground. If you are going to give it anyway, why even have a video ref.

[Just Browny]

Are the electronic boards really advertising Batchelors Mushy Peas to the bewildered Perpignan audience, or is that just superimposed for us Brits watching on?

 

[M j M]

Satisfactory Leeds performance but could have done with the win from this. Big shame Morgan Gannon wasn't able to play as he could have added the grunt that was needed to the bench which ended up being lightweight in his absence.

Catalans look good though don't they.

[Archie Gordon]

McMeeken still not good enough for England?

The player that was most missed was Oledski, along with Tetevano. With those two added to this pack it looks so much stronger. Not to mention Rhyse Martin.

This is what you said about Leigh on the 25th of May.

"As we've pointed out , 6 different HB combinations in 7 games , 4 different Full backs , struggling for props , all due to injuries , even last time we brought in Mortimer and Langi for the run in , both were injured after 2 games , it's what happens to us every time we get a shot at SL "
