Sat 22nd Feb: SL: Salford Red Devils v Leeds Rhinos KO 15:00 (SS+/SL+)

[Ant]

11-0 on captains challenges 

 

I think half of those the VR has got utterly wrong.

[Archie Gordon]

Extraordinarily, I think the last 3 captain's challenges have come to the wrong conclusion.

Finally the rhinos get across the line. Cynical ruck play and speed.

[Old Frightful]

Leeds in,

Reds 6 Leeds 4, ktc.

[johnh1]

Off side.

I’ll mention this again as it irritates me . Why after a year of trying to clean up the ptb have we decided to totally ignore it again … just as the NRL is going the other way . The roll balls and just stepping over it is ridiculous

Compared to last Saturday?

Chalk and cheese. Might have something to do with first team and academy team selection

It's insanely frustrating to watch and kills all momentum. I couldn't have been happier when Catalan beat Saints in the playoff semi after having to witness their ruck delays and set restart tactics all year. 

[Old Frightful]

Leeds in again.

6-8, ktc.

[Old Frightful]

6-10.

I'm sure Nikorima coming in third man actually pushed Gannon within reach of the goal line.

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

Gannon looked unlikely to reach line until Salford guys added to the momentum.

[Old Frightful]

6-14.

[Bull Mania]

Riley Lumb has been superb. 

[tiffers]

Leeds good value for the 14-6 lead so far. 

[MZH]

Leeds look much the better team tbh. Salford look like a team has hasnt been able to play together, Rowley will be regretting not choosing the reserves again for some cohesion.

[LeytherRob]

Think the Ferrari is gonna need a good pit stop at half time, looking more like a Fiat Punto currently

[tiffers]

Croft hasn't moved yet. This could be bad. 

[EagleEyePie]

That would be harsh if it's anything more than a penalty

[johnh1]

It will be a yellow.

Why, Croft has put his head into the contact area other than a defender attacking the head. 

[MZH]

Very worrying scenes and hopefully Croft is fine. I don't think there was much in the tackle though, a card would be harsh.

Didn’t say it should be. But it is. And Bentley got away with a punch to the head of a player on the ground.

Clear yellow card, he swings his arm towards his head.

Your right but that is harsh on the defender.
