Dreadful quality game, but interesting because it's close (10-8)

Fa'amanu Brown may well be able to help you with that one.

What, the completely different thing?

[Northern Eel]

I can't understand this. There have been worse infringements and no cards. This is a mess.

[Archie Gordon]

I've held off the sack Wilkin stuff but

Sack Wilkin!

[sam4731]

Round and round the card roulette goes, where will it stop who knows?

[sentoffagain2]

     Worse than that in the first half went without cards it was very light contact that came up off the shoulder.

[StandOffHalf]

Sangaré with the arm into the snozz of the Dracs attacker.

He can't bemoan being sat down for 10 for that. Direct to the face.

I think it was straight to the nose!

[Harry Stottle]

See Newman doing his dance again.

[bobbruce]

What was Newman doing there. 

[StandOffHalf]

Bringing Nikorima on should pep up the big fellas around the PTB for Les Dracs.

Awful game, but the visitors have 20 minutes to ice a bludger of an affair.

[StandOffHalf]

Honest attempt by Dezaria but gets his arms all wrong and clatters into the Leeds player.

10 in the bin correct call again IMO. Just clumsy from the tackler.

Absolutely correct Sir!

Let's keep on with the entertainment, after all, the game's a bit grim.

I’m gonna have to start reading what you write in future 

[StandOffHalf]

Wilkin uses the word ''stunning'' too much to describe good things.

[jacksy]

The players are expected to get everything right in probably the ultimate dynamic contact sport. If the don't, they get rightly punished.

However, the officials seem to get no sanction when they get it wrong or have a nightmare.

To clarify:

1. Don't call anyone a cheat. It's not nice, and it's guaranteed to disrupt a match thread. Just. Don't. Ok. Thank you.

2. Don't try and get round the swear filter using ##**&& etc. It's there for a reason. Just. Don't. Ok. Thank you.

3. Don't wang on about stuff that happened in other games years ago in a match thread. Stick to discussing what's happening in this game. 

Thanks.

Now, back to the game...

Yes. Consistent with the 2nd half interpretations, just not the first.

[Hopie]

"Ratalans" was in the commentary there, a slip of the tongue, but nobody as wound up as Newman at the moment

[StandOffHalf]

Wasn't Newman tackled in goal there, with the ball on the line?

Nice counter-attack by Leeds!

[Northern Eel]

Off the cuff and that deserves a try. 

[Old Frightful]

Amazing try.

[sentoffagain2]

    What a superb pass from Smith

He was across the line and in the field from the view I had.
