Thur 3rd Mar: SL: Wakefield Trinity v Leeds Rhinos KO 20:00 (Sky)

[PREPOSTEROUS]

Trinity were poor in the first half, very much in disarray and we couldn't deal with Leeds shifting the ball out wide quickly. Second half was much better but the game had gone by then.

WTF?

It never occurred to us that if we put our main effects mics next to a group of foul-mouthed Leeds fans and a metre from the regrouping Leeds team we might pick up a few swears.

"Kruise Leeming was given a yellow card late on in the game for a high tackle, but Agar said it ‘looked alright’ from where he was."

So that's alright then.

But not on the scale of Sosaia Feki though ?

3 years in and yet to make his SL debut.

Not sure of your point.

He was asked his opinion on it and gave it. It looked alright from where I was stood as well, and I was directly under where Agar was sitting.

 

Now Ive watched it back I think he does connect with the head but it wasn't malicious and there was no intent, so should just get a grade A with no ban - you know like Currie did.

[JonM]

BBC match report uses the phrase 'rainbow pass' - I'm wondering if the reporter was on a bet to see if he or she could get that phrase into a story somehow.

I'm not au fair with figure skating these days so can't comment on this Currie chappy. However, as far as I am aware, Agar doesn't make decisions for the ref. 

Agar should have focussed on the good things in the game and leave the refs job to....the ref.

Sosaia Feki

Where is Feki, incidentally?

Has he travelled back home whilst he’s on the sick, or has he spent the entire length of his contract in Castleford with nothing to do?

Why not?

Because Belle Vue is a carbuncle with no redeeming features.

Newman looks absolute class. Hope he can have an injury free season - so exciting!

Can't work if this was written before or after his hamstring went in the game

I quite like going there weirdly...that pub near the river over the bridge for a few pints then a short walk to the ground 

Looking forward to them getting that new stand. Will the home fans shift to it do we think instead of cramming into the terrace?

Rainbow pass is an American football term. Where the ball is thrown high and arcing over the defenders and drops to the reciever. Never heard it in RL before though.

So he shouldn’t have answered the question? 

[JohnM]

Its not a legal requirement but yes, he could well have answered the question ( eg: no comment, or I respect the refs decision...or  or ...) but differently. Incidentally, this doesn't just apply to stand-in  second rank coaches. It applies to ALL coaches.

I wouldn’t gamble on that Chris.  Depends on which way the wind blows.

Are you for real? Took his try well and only played one full game. For gods sake give him a chance. Fans said Senior and Donald were rubbish but look how they turned out.

The thing is he was right, nothing in it his arm hit the wakey players chest.

Johnstone did incredibly well to pull the ball back into the field of play whilst travelling at speed so close to the touch line.  Also very American Footy style.
