Sat 4 Sept: SL Magic: Leeds Rhinos v Hull FC KO 19:00 (TV)

[Futtocks]

Myler DG attempt - low and wide.

[MZH]

Connor redeemed himself a bit with that effort to pressure the kicker.

[Futtocks]

Sneyd DG attempt - charged down.

[Man of Kent]

Douglas Bader would’ve been embarrassed by some of these drop goal attempts. 

[MZH]

Wow

[Futtocks]

Rhyse Martin DG attempt - hits the crossbar.

[dkw]

Harry Newman is the best young centre in the game, in either hemisphere, what a player.

[dkw]

I don't understand why teams desperately set up for a DG when they have no one calm enough or good enough to take em. Get it central then fire it out wide through hands, catch the defence out. 

[MZH]

I can't believe how badly we have organised ourselves to get in position. Leeds on the other hand have got into position well but wtf were those attempts?

Its a crazy game sometimes.

[Futtocks]

Sneyd DG attempt - a long shot that fell short.

[Barry Badrinath]

Crazy how Leeds are pressuring the kicker so easily, with the blockers in place

[Futtocks]

Horrible PTB error from Hull FC, and Leeming slots the winner for Leeds a couple of tackles later.

[jacksy]

Thank god this season is over for us.

[Futtocks]

I missed the second half of game 1 today, as I had to go out briefly, but have been royally entertained otherwise.

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

Awful error fest by Hull in that extra time gifts Leeds the game.  Bit of a dampner at the end of an otherwise good day.

[Rawschach]

Golden point is a rubbish idea but that was exciting in a scrappy kind of way

 

Fantastic day of entertainment

[Lionheart_merged]

Another great game.  Shame that Thaler again influenced the result.

[Hughsehhh]

Mint that, great day of rugby league

I agree.

The Aussie commentators have been bigging up the likes of Tesi Niu, Stephen Crichton, Bradman Best, Star To'a and Zac Cini but when the English kids beat this lot a few years ago Harry Newman and Jack Welsby were by far the best backs in the series and they are developing superbly.

Newman outstanding for Leeds. Won the game for them for me.

Yeah along with Harry Smith v the aussies our back line took them apart. Newman is something else though, can be as good as he wants to be.

Incredible performance from Leeds. When Lui went off early it left them without their half backs, their full back and most of their best forwards.

They had absolutely no right to win the game with such a makeshift team but were thoroughly deserved winners. They had so many chances to tie it up at the end I thought they might pay but justice was done. 

In terms of entertainment If SKY don't like what has been on offer today I give up.

How Newman didn’t get MOM ill never know
