Bollox. JJB would never have got anywhere near Jeffreys.

Is that relevant when a Bradford player blocked a defender ahead of the ball carrier or are we playing grid iron these days?

Not really, cos as I said i thought would have been a penalty. I was responding to Tad implying that JJB would have got to him. I can't see he would have.

Fair enough as long as we both agree we're watching rugby league and Bradford's winning score came from an illegal play that somehow was overlooked by the video referee.

For me,
You can always find an excuse for not giving a try on a video replay. Watch any move for long enough and you'll find something not quite right.

But, how many times has a ref called for a ruling on a knock on when the ball hasn't gone to ground?
There was an agenda for Leeds to lose tonight. The super league want competition and this is how they get it. Joke decisions and Bradford climbing the table.

I love the smell of sour grapes in the morning...

The name 'True Southstander' is, I fear, quite accurate given your blinkeredness

Anyhoo - there were some contentious decisions, I thought the refereeing was good. Whether or not a knock on like the one called against Leeds tonight would normally be given, it was clearly knocked forward of the line parallel with the try lines. Likewise, Webb was offside. Obviously I'm going to be happier than your average Leeds fan, but this talk of a conspiracy against Leeds is a good giggle and makes Leeds fans look a little silly

I can't imagine how you got the taste out of your mouth after the last couple of years.

Enjoy.

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

does that not make it a foul then?

We are probably not miles apart - although it was not Bradfords's actual play that was illegal, but the well-off-the-ball incident that may well have been. Amounts to same in the end though. And as I suspect we may not be on the question of Leeds' try coming off a very forward pass.

As I've said elsewhere: it happens. We each have to live with it.

OK - apologies for misinterpreting what you said.
