Cutting up very badly and quite deeply.

Can’t say either team have shown much in the first half. Think the farce of what is and isn’t a high shot/mitigating circumstances is still pretty much a lottery.

Pretty awful viewing that half. If Leeds were full strength, or at least a couple of players closer, they'd be a few scores in front by now. Although the stats of the pitch doesn't suit their star players like Croft and Ackers.

Donaldson would have been “red” last week, did something change, or better officials perhaps.

Should've been red. Jack Smith is a poor official, and yes you're right, it was red last week but not this week. The RFL are preaching, and drumming it home about these changes, yet the officials are so inconsistent they don't know how to apply them themselves.

I know Wilkin usually talks absolute boll0x but him practically frothing at the mouth for red cards is an embarrassment. Let’s hope he never gets on the MRP.
It’s a double edged sword in that player safety needs to be addressed but the game to survive as a sport needs to be able to have its players on the pitch. If we are not careful we are in danger of destroying the sport as a spectacle and making dull as ditchwater.

How that's not classed as a knock on from May I'll never know

Re: TV Games - Not Hull : Thu Feb 22, 2024 9:22 pm  

What a try!

Re: TV Games - Not Hull : Thu Feb 22, 2024 9:24 pm  

That was class. Absolute garbage effort by Hiku.

My bad it was Evalds!

Like this full back for Leeds. Hasn't had much chance to run but on a night like tonight he's been good at the back.

Decent win for Rovers this on a substandard pitch.
