It clearly went backwards so not that amazing at all.

On the replay it showed that it hit his hand into Martin's shoulder before then going backwards. I don't think anyone saw that live until the replay to be honest.

Yes it is but it seems that short dropouts is something they have been encouraged to do through coaching 

But this one went what 5 metres?

I am not sure if JJB is learning to speak more clearly, or I am just too used to him talking at this point that I can actually understand him*. (*sometimes)

[Phil]

Miller really lucky not to get a red at the end

Short dropouts are a risky thing to do with one of the reasons they are difficult to execute correctly 

[Harry Stottle]

Last try would have been scratched off in the NRL, the bunker can override the ref.

I have said on a couple of occasions that the methods of Smith are not suiting the recruits from Salford which some Leeds fans don't agre with, one even said I don't know what I am talking about, well to those who disagreed with me you must not have watched those two players in Salford shirts or are in total denial of how different they are performing for Leeds, really they are both wasted to how well we have seen them both previously.

   Picked the right game plenty of good open play although both side defence was a bit off.Thought Leeds forwards held the edge but Huddersfield in the half backs and threequarters.Enjoyed the game.

how many defeats at home on the bounce is that?

Correct but that was never the time or the place for one. That should have gone 60 metres downfield

[LeeF]

Newman went off with a back injury presumably because Marsters ran over and through him all match

That's my point. There was still time on the clock and they werent losing. They lost the game because of it. Incredibly stupid decision 

[Agbrigg]

If hudersfield had an half decent kicker this game would have  been over with 10 mins to go.

Hence why I called it a coach killer. I can’t believe that they were coached to do a short drop out in that scenario.

As was Salford v Wigan. It is always a gamble using that tactic.

What did he do? He comes across as a bit of a gobshiite!

[Charlie RL]

I enjoyed that.  maybe not for the quality and etrors,  but good entertainment. 

Leeds should've done better when against 12 men.  Lacking something?

It seems you have been moaning from afar for a while Tommy, if you are again moaning from close up tonight you should be getting your wish of seeing the back of Smiffy.

Certainly plenty of my fellow Rhinos saying as much in the last 15 minutes

[Tommygilf]

What on earth was said at half time??

Probably the first time Marsters has run over anyone since he has been here. Newman flatters to decieve doesn't li e up to his billing very often.

Miller was practicing them before the match so its definitely planned.

He was poor last season but he’s been very good so far this year

So much for practice makes perfect

Smith just said Miller should not have dropped short.
