Thur 11th Sept: SL: Leeds Rhinos v Catalans Dragons KO 20:00 (SS+/SL+)

[dboy]

Hell, I hope Rhinos score again under the sticks now - just for fun.

[MZH]

Comedy miss renders the try totaly useless. And it was literally Croft's only good moment of the night.

This has been one of the worst performances by a referee I have seen. 

Why ?

2nd. Ryan hall try was a decent kick. 

[MZH]

Leeds were pretty shambolic it must be said. But well done Catalans. A very gutsy performance.

Why ? 

Missed about 5 or 6 forward passes by Leeds. Let Leeds slow the ruck down and then gave two penalties against Catalans for non-high tackles. 

[Chrispmartha]

I wouldn’t want to be in the changing room with Brad Arthur after that performance 

[Fevrover]

Got to give Catalans some credit they've earned that result.

[Ullman]

All over, 8-16.

A combination of some incredible defence from the Dragons and rank incompetence from Leeds.

It's all about how bad Leeds were, not that Catalans stopped them winning.

Why would he pick on you? Wasn't your fault.

I forgot to mention the Leeds player dragging Yaha into touch. Reverse that and Smith would have sin binned the Catalans players

Leeds were awful but Catalans wee good both can be true

Also see usual suspects moaning about referees, its tiresome

He didnt drag him

[DoubleD]

Sinfield is too good for academy but not good enough for first team, quite a dilemma. Might need a year in the Championship. He missed 3 tackles that I saw and I wasn’t paying particular attention and against the Dragons who didn’t have much ball. What’s more he didn’t create anything with ball in hand. 

Leeds won’t do much with 2 wingers who offer no offensive threat. Time Arthur makes up with Lumb.

This game could be the wake up call we need though, stop us falling in love with ourselves. Reality bites

I haven't mentioned the ref,probably a wake up call for Leeds.

Ta just trying to catch up from Greece.

I'm in the canaries watching it on SL+.

[17 stone giant]

Had a quick look on Sky Go but couldn't find the match, so went with the commentary on Five Live Extra.

I did not expect that result, given their relative league positions.

Smith really didn’t want that to be a try! 

I would love to see his interpretation why he disallowed it, he was in the perfect position to see both the tackle on Millar and the grounding by Bouschet.

Chatting with some wire fans today in Rhodes, we all wrote Catalan off in this.

Just shows what you lot know.

That’s another ruddy fiver I’ve lost on the RLFO, I’m going to stop doing Thursday games, and stick with the Friday & Saturday matches. 
Fair play to Catalans a fantastic win, RL is a funny old game. 

[Dunbar]

Catalans fans must be very frustrated tonight.

Been awful all year and put in an 80 minute performance with loads of effort and last ditch scrambling defence when the season has gone.
