[Archie Gordon]

I think that last play sums up the lower end of SL this year.

I wouldn't go as any away fan if they make you sit in the corner when they used to let you sit behind the posts.

Plenty of space for home fans elsewhere, even if they were having a better season than they are.

It's not materially worse to be fair, better than it was a couple of years ago when it seemed away fans were even more crammed in.

It looks like there's permanent fences up around the seats either side of this corner now so I guess this is the permanent setup for both Rugby League and soccer away fans.

I’m not convinced the VR saw enough to overturn the ref’s call there especially when seen at full speed.

[graveyard johnny]

how on earth would you get a "newbie" interested in the sport by sitting him down to watch this standard of RL? Its worse than watching snail racing

The same as at Catalan.

What if Sky put one of the poor games on from the 90's?

it will still be 10x better than this

[bratman]

Not impressed with Miller

[Jeff Stein]

This is relentlessly mediocre 

[bratman]

Lumb has pretty much been the best player on the pitch, impressive for a 19 yo

[Barry Badrinath]

I'm gonna go out on a lumb here and say the young lad has done alright so far

[Gomersall]

Walker having the epitome of a rocks and diamonds game.

Main camera angle looked an obvious try for me on first view, but to be fair not as bad as the obvious foot in touch being missed

[Hopie]

Sky doing their best for large TV sales by only using half the screen for replays.

[bratman]

Did he need every camera angle to make that decision?

[Coggo]

Right decision. Loose carry all day and night 

[Mark S]

Some common sense at last 

[Harry Stottle]

How many decisions has this ref got wrong today?

[Barry Badrinath]

Amazing that the ref couldn't see that then, he was nearly part of the tackle he was that close

He really is an interesting one Miller.

He is clearly a talented ball runner but outside of that his game lacks the fundamentals to be a really top quality full back.

Before this year, he had only played 19 games of first grade Rugby League in Australia after switching from Union 7's.

You can see this in his game, the full back is a key man in shift plays, creating the extra man out the back.  But Miller just doesn't execute on these plays, he is too lateral, doesn't straighten the attack up and doesn't pick a pass well.

He cam probably get better in these areas but at 29 he is not exactly a spring chicken. 

I thought he would do well in Super League and perhaps in a more dominant side his attacking running could be better utilised, but overall he has not been good.

[Hopie]

I don't think that was a try, but I don't think decisions like that should be based on a VR interpreting a players thoughts/intentions from slow motion replays.

You can see the 7s influence, and he looks a natural runner, but he doesn't get basics right. Maybe that will come given time.

Some Leeds fans being childish morons with their little songs today.
