Every player in our squad could probably earn more money with another club. But they prefer to sacrifice a few extra quid in their back pocket to share special memories. And playing at a place like Old Trafford on a night like this makes it all worthwhile.
He was, couldn't understand the penalty try though, he did get up and put the ball over the line
A couple of years ago Mathers (whilst playing full back for us) high-tackled someone who went on to score. The referee awarded a penalty try and in the week Stuart Cummins said this was a mistake - the try should have stood where the ball was grounded and a penalty try should only be awarded if the attacker was prevented from scoring illegally. Unless the laws have changed, the referee and the video ref. managed to get that one wrong.
I also thought Greenshields' tackle was worse than Burgess'. I don't mind Burgess getting banned but would like some consistency.

for the last few years that has been a joke.all teams,including us, have had terrible decisions go for and against us. it's about time they got some consistency
Quite true it just dictates Burgess' time out over Easter. It's always a juggling act over the two/three games anyway.
If we don't get to see an Ambler, Manning or Chandler ect somewhere over the next three games then will we have to assume their not deemed ready for 1st grade action yet?
Thats a fair assessment. I would say that it will be the first team on Friday, and there will be a few people taking a breather on Monday, as FWIW I think Bradford on their day can still cause us problems. I'm not sure Salford at home can
Every board could do with one (and I'm flattered) but alas it won't be me.

I can just imagine Richard Agar saying that last weekend and like us they're out of the cup now but it couldn't have fallen any better than Salford up after Bradford.

And I bet you'll never guess which referee (with a brain the size of a planet/peanut) came up with that classic call?
If you're struggling look towards the foot of this page here for the answer.

The disciplinary panel were just out to prove a point with regards a perceived leniency towards Leeds this season. It was never likely to stick on appeal and good on Leeds for persuading Burgess to challenge the decision.
Unusual for them to persue an appeal, perhaps they felt they had nothing to lose and were short on forwards this week. Just a thought.

Or perhaps they saw greenshield's get away without a ban and thought the panel were having a laugh!!
Just a thought.
