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

Yeah, I meant just the previous call. The ones in the first half were a bit all over the place IMO.

[GeordieSaint]

Catalan have been awful today. 

[JohnM]

Like I said...Cats discipline.

Both have been awful. Leeds look well off the pace 3 games in.

[Hopie]

Multiple six agains in a kickable position when Leeds were 6 points up, they would have kicked any penalty, its ugly to watch the constant messing about at the PTB, please get rid of the six again.

[Old Frightful]

Game over probably.

Unfortunate for that ungentlemanly chap to be om the losing side.

*Cough*

[Northern Eel]

'That doesn't warrant you throwing yourself to the ground like a footballer'.

Wonderful from the ref.

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

Wilkin uses all the wrong words all the time to describe anything

[Northern Eel]

Catalans lack team discipline. Bentley is a grub. Leeds deserve to win.

Indeed.

Bentley was being far too errm...ungentlemanly there...

[sentoffagain2]

      Think Bentley has had a really good game today.

[JohnM]

Leeds reverting to type, there. And the home crowd , too.

Looks like Leeds retaliation is now allowed,too.

They're all the right words but not necessarily in the right order.

[StandOffHalf]

Abdull literally places both his hands on Bentley's shoulders and shoves him as he's playing the ball. The ref looks the other way just so he can get in a jibe about diving in soccer.

Abdull then shoves Bentley into the hoarding.

Two silly and unnecessary involvements from the lumbering pivot.

Leeds have played well, very good defensively

[sam4731]

I imagine the MRP have been watching this game with their heads in their hands.

It's gonna be a long meeting this week.

[Archie Gordon]

Abdull's been terrible. He's 6 weeks off being fit.

[Harry Stottle]

That was dull game, interspersed with some iffy decisions which basically controlled the proceedings.

A two-handed shove as Bentley is playing the ball though.

It clearly should have been a penalty.

[Guest]

I thought this was going to be a better game. 2 poor teams, Catalan have been especially rubbish.

[meast]

Terrible game, too much messing about and grubby stuff.

Thank god it's over, Leeds just about deserved it for their tough defence in the first half.

Although very lucky to have had 13 men, I expect he'll be having a couple of weeks off.

It was always going to be difficult for Catalans to replace last year's departures, but I'm not sure their current spine is good enough.

Mourgue, Da Costa, Fages and Abdull just aren't silverware winning quality imo. The Catalans pack were comfortably on top today but their playmakers and pivots weren't good enough to capitalise on it.

[StandOffHalf]

Abdull looks like he's had a big off-season on the pies.

Leeds' defence was admirable, but I thought Les Dracs were stodgy and really lacking incisiveness.

[StandOffHalf]

Poor Jenna sounds as though she's coming down with a cold.
