Thats a fabulous win for Leeds

[Damien]

Well I must nip out and get popcorn. This thread will be fun tonight  

[Derwent]

Saints players have looked absolutely knackered tonight, it’s a long time since they’ve played this poorly.

How is that not an illegal shoulder charge?

He said he hadn’t rotated enough to make it a shoulder charge I.e. he was still square on so technically blocked him rather than used a shoulder charge. It’s the rotation part that needs analysing

[Just Browny]

We should never hear from Wilkin on commentary again after that by the way. Completely disgraceful to accuse Myler of a dive.

[Jughead]

Kendall’d. Won’t be the first game that happens to this year, mind. 

Some good stuff, some bad and some dumb stuff. Fair play Leeds.

He was sent for direct contact with the head, not just a shoulder charge. 

There was direct contact with the head in the first challenge so ...

Wow. I'm not one to criticise refs, and I'm very happy that Leeds won. But they are right to feel very hard done to. 

[DavidM]

They’ll have been 10,000 Leeds fans at that game by Monday

[dkw]

Brilliant effort by Leeds, but that non penalised shoulder charge was hilariously bad, how on earth he decided it wasn't enough rotation is beyond me.

A bad call against Saints but if the ref didn't see it then he is right to penalise Welsby.

Game stopped that is where the video ref should intervene diabolic refereeing. Leeds played well but for the second night running the referee decided the result.

[doc]

Phil Clarke was right!!!

[jacksy]

Well done Leeds.

[Futtocks]

One hell of a win for the unfancied visitors. Fun to watch, too - this Leeds vintage have plenty of errors in them, but they play an entertaining style when they're not dropping the ball.

And can that be looked at by the video ref (Genuine Q)

But he went in with his shoulder so rotation seems irrelevant?

[Live after death]

Up your the doubters.

 

saints players throwing Teddy out big style, too used to getting their own way and getting away with murder.

Leeds Rhinos new world champions

I think just banning tackling the kicker would make things a lot more clear going forward. That or constructing a 10 foot wall around the kicker just in case a player wants to go within 20 yards of them.

Na. They’ve had the rub for 4 years

[Neutralfan7]

Fantastic game till the last 10 minutes till Kendall decided to make it all about himself. How this guy keeps getting given games in beyond me!

Shocking refereeing yet again. No standards, no consistency. Rfl please get a grip of yourselves.

It's the second night in a row the referee has decided to be the star by giving dramatic decisions.

Kendall had a horrendous last ten minutes.

[Barca Mum]

Jack Smith was bad last night tonight ref as bad it's going to be a long season if they continue like this as a neutral watching it makes me want to switch off

Who....Leeds?

Should they have won by more?
