Going to be an interesting crowd this.

LUFC have a sell out against Barnsley at Elland Road (which 4 of us are going to) tomorrow too.

Plus its on sky

I didn’t realise it was a five past eight KO. 

[Man of Kent]

Nice rugby. Seems more like the old, buccaneering Leeds. 

[Old Frightful]

Jeez, was just thinking how well Hudds were dominating Leeds then that happened!

[Old Frightful]

Myler with the knees!

[Old Frightful]

I still think Hudds are favourites here, almost all the first ten mins have been played in the Leeds' half.

Who is the video ref? Seems to be making decisions much quicker than usual.

Can't help but think Jack Smith should have stopped play there after two Leeds players clashed heads, not great for players' welfare that.

I thought it was a pretty clear clash of heads but not sure if the doctor has to ask for it to be stopped first.

That would be ridiculous and lacking in common sense.

So you're probably correct.

[Old Frightful]

Double movement I would say.

Looks like a decent crowd to me.

[Old Frightful]

Knock on and short as well.

Yeah.

[Man of Kent]

Double movement, knock on, short and dumb.

I feel you've covered most aspects of that VR refusal there.

Poop house that from Austin

[Mark S]

Why do the people in the south stand bother paying to watch Leeds, all they do is moan at the referee.

[Man of Kent]

Not sure about that. Cheap shot on a dummy runner sure but if that was a shoulder charge it was a pretty tame one.

[Old Frightful]

I wouldn't have gone for two points there with Leeds down to 12.

Surely that wasn't Watson's decision?

Good Lord Mags, where have you been?

[Barley Mow]

Francis Cummins on the radio commentary is unbelievably one sided towards Leeds.

I know they generally only have him on for Leeds matches, but he must be aware that BBC radio Leeds is the station for all of west Yorkshire and when 2 west Yorks teams are playing each other he should be more neutral.

[Old Frightful]

Great hands and Leeds defence is finally beaten after a heap of pressure.
