To me the whole game swung on not taking 2 points at 16-6, Leigh fans by me could n't believe it, neither could I. If we took that then we were in the driving seat and a drop goal from there on would have sealed it. Leigh visibly lifted when we knocked on.

On Radio Leeds Karl said he advised go for the try as he felt one more would kill Leigh off.
I think he got it wrong as like last week when on top we should have kept the scoreboard ticking over, if its a penalty in the corner less kickable then yer go for the try, but a penalty in front of the sticks,take the 2 points. I thought it might hurt us later and it did!

Yep

It brought out a lot of emotions in me, as you can see.

How's the lad who got injured?

Thanks for asking mate.
Todays local says no break but still badly swollen, ligaments carry their own lengthy layoff depending on the seriousness.
To be reassessed over the next week or so once the swelling goes down.
Here's hoping it's not too bad.

Indeed they can, and if worse than sprained (I know, I snapped my ACL), then that'll be it for the season. Hopefully just a minor sprain and he can get back training soon.
