You are saying this but you have yet to tell me what they did wrong today even though I have asked you twice.

the webb try. technically correct,however it happens every game and to pull it out of the hat from nowhere was a joke. i wait to see if it gets pulled on monday because it will happen in every game.

jjb was illegally taken out by newton.regardless of anything else newton went to block him getting to the kicker

I can see the point you are trying to make but JJB went down like a tonne of bricks and would never have got near the kicker anyway

1). Where were our forwards?? Nine times out of ten our backs were running the ball out with our forwards stood watching.
2). We were garbage.
3). Both tries in the first half were scored from a forward pass.
4). Ablett shouldn't have been sin binned for that. A penalty yes, not a sinbinning.
5). Our best players were Rob and Hall.
6). This one is from my brother but I agree with it. Rugby league will never be a top game in this country while so many decisions are down to interpretations. Webb had to be seen to be trying to get back on side. WTF?? Its like when players are jumping for the ball. If you are looking at the ball its ok but if you are not, you are not going for it???

1. Agree our pack were poor today. Thought the pick out of them were Kirke and Burgess.

2. We were but was that down to us? Or was it down to Bradford not letting us play? One to think about.

3. Both looked forward from one angle, but ok from another. No complaints with either.

4. Looking at the reply, the touchjudge, who was closest to the incident, put his flag up to indicate player in touch and Leeds scrum. Why then did Smith, who went to his touchjudge's for a lot during the game, ignore that call and penalise Ablett?

5. Agreed, although was happier with Buderus today. Better distribution and a hell of a lot of defensive work. Can't wait to see him fully fit and fully intergrated.

6. It's a good point. The fact is, a referee has way too much influence on every game of RL. If a ref wants you to lose, you'll lose.

The forward pass to Hall in the first half.

Irrelevant how JJB went down, that appeared a clear cut obstruction by Newton.

That apart I think the other calls (that went against Leeds) were correct.

On the Leeds performance:

Penalty count was 12 - 6 in Bradford's favour and probably rightly so.

If people really want to know why Leeds lost (rather than just blame the officials) it's quite straight forward, they are playing really poorly and have been pretty much all this season.

First half: 5 penalties, 5 knock ons, 1 forward pass
Second half: 7 penalties, 5 knock ons.

Considering the basic one out football with not even attempting an offload it's simply not good enough.

At least we shouldn't be hearing the 'look at the table' after tonight from those too blind or stupid to recognise the piss poor football Leeds are serving up at the present time.

Halley was quality for Bulls and Jeffries' kicking game put Rhinos' to shame.

If Sykes could kick at goal it wouldn't have been anywhere near as close.

On the tries, they are decisions that you see given either way, tonight they went against Rhinos, another day they'll go in favour of Rhinos.

It's better to be playing poorly at this stage of the season than it is towards the business end.

Too much moaning and kneejerking on here by some posters IMO.
