Charging down kicks is an odd one in RL. It shows that we are putting good pressure on the kicker but RL rules don't reward the player/ team for Charging down, which is a shame. May be a rule change so like Union a legal charge down is not a knock on. It's rewarded as a skill and therefore advantage to the defending team.

I'm happy that we put pressure on the kicker but, as you say, the rules do not benefit the charge down, ergo, don't do it.

A charge down isn't counted as a knock on in league either it's just we need to recover the ball after making the charge down!

Brilliant win. Let's hope it kick starts our season. Bring on the Rovers (Who have a shed load of injuries to key players)

Aye but play the advantage, you hardly ever get it.

Ok,mbutvitvdoes resetvthe tackle count and they got 6 more in there on 30 right at the end of the game.

Re: Today v Bulls : Mon Mar 28, 2016 7:57 pm  

That was a much needed win and we deserved it although they were poor but we got stuck in and it was a throw back to last season as we tackled them out of their stride although they never got in one!
I agree about the charge down and would say don't bother unless the rule changes as it has cost us this season and nearly did again.
Bold move by Richard today playing Steve Tyrer and Ben Kaye after being out injured plus putting Tommy in who never let us down and the two rookies Jake Eccleston and Brandon Moore did well.
Lets kick on and beat Fev now to get our season back on track, this should give us loads of confidence.

Lowes on Radio Leeds said he thought they'd done more than enough to win the game!

Was he watching the same one as the rest of us?

He just Talks rubbish.

I did think the ref was a bit out of his depth today, seemed clueless at times.

Re: Today v Bulls : Mon Mar 28, 2016 8:52 pm  

Well done boys, we showed that desperation to win today and we deserved the points.

Today's result is worthless if we don't back it up at Fev next weekend.

I managed to see the game today, but am confused as to how Bradford got a penalty and Manning put on report, when from where I was it looked like Manning got forearm smashed in the chops. I look forward to hearing the views of fans that were closer.

Great win, wanted it far more and as said before, this was probably the key to winning that game. We now need to use this as a springboard and kick on. We're in a similar position to last year, but have got a win against a full time team earlier, so let's now kick on again as we did last year.

Charge down, I think it's a great ploy, but only in the right areas. If their struggling out of their 30/40, try it. Doing it as we did about 20 metres from our line...was dumb.

Great individual efforts from the usual stand out players, agree that nobody had a bad game either.

Finally, the ref! Baffling at best. Odd penalty, after odd decision. To top it off, he was taking both sides back about 7 metres all game and didn't even bother having a look at any goings on around the ruck.
