Cas are a man down for 10 minutes, but they repel the pressure on their line.

Third set in a repeat set for Batley. They need to make this one count...

I was more thinking the barge comment than that.

I agree that he was baited into it, but he shouldn’t have gone on again.

Let's be fair Tommy much of what he said was true. Batchelor drops the ball and it hits his foot lucky try, walmsleys try ball bounced off two players before he caught it both could have gone anywhere. Saints were constantly offside and had a third man flopping in the tackle. That doesn't take away how poor Leeds were on attack, wouldn't have scored again if they played till midnight. Only a big win against Cas can put off the inevitable for me and Smith gets the sack.

Not seen this game but if not regularly offside and flopping then it would be unusual.

Said at the time he'd have been in trouble if there was a video referee.

In related news, I'm glad I don't have to watch Jack Smith referee very often. Absolutely no idea what a forward pass is or isn't.

To be fair to Mr Smith, for the one forward pass that I saw given that seem to cause controversy, the Sportsmans commentary clearly had one of the touch judges calling it forward and the ref then took their advice.

Sorry your right, refs just constantly ignore it because you know, reasons....

The players have downed tools, given up. There's a very real chance he does get sacked soon.

He won’t get sacked either They can’t afford the payout

He seems the kind of person who will walk away if needs be, he's a very decent person.

Forward passes are (generally) the touch judges' job.

In what way mate?

It continues regardless of what I'm doing. I decided to vote with my feet at the end of last season, only game I've been to this year was the derby, didn't feel right missing that one.

But I should have.
