Not seen the match but if the officials`were that bad will Hetherington be asking Hood for the points

It's a long time since I've been as angry as this after a game - 2 huge, huge calls both went Bradford's way and we were denied 3 tries which on another day we could easily have been given. The ironic thing now is that moronic Bulls fans will now think that this joke of a result makes them better than us. Granted, Leeds were poor tonight, but they still did enough to win the game - nothing more than daylight robbery!!

To be fair sibbs I dont like blamming referees. There is no getting away from that being a poor Leeds performance. A lot of those players will have to take a real hard look in the mirror and ask 'did I give that my all?' and 'can I play better'. The answer to those questions have to be no and hell yes!

But there is no question that with a level playing field (in regards to the officials, not just Odslums joke of a pitch) we would have won the game. Would I have been happy with the performance? No, would I have been happy to get 2 points, yes.

THey played well enough to get the points and thats all thats required.

Bradford tackled extremely well and shut Leeds down almost completely. Another clueless coaching display from McClennan.

remember back to 2007? weren't the bulls fans saying the same things?

Anyway... all these people blaming the ref and his TJ's but what are you blaming them for? No one seems to know. Give us a clue lads

We were crap. Our kicking game was dreadful unlike theirs which had some point to it.
Our only tactic seemed to be to mess about & slow the playball down as much as possible & Smith let us get away with it. Completely spoiled the game for me. We should have been penalised early on then maybe we'd have concentrated on trying to play rugby & not just wrestle.
Other than Halley we had them beaten for pace, so what do we do? Kick the ball down his throat nearly every time.
Garbage.
Watkins showed his inexperience & Senior had one of his off days after a number of good ones.
