Agree for a change,the worst gaff was maguire on the 2nd tackle inside their 20,but we let them off the hook,as you say they were there for the taking.

That was a bad one but to be fair to him the Leeds defence was almost impregnable and in his frustration he tried something different.

Absolutely robbed by the officials today, don’t like to come on and whinge about the red after a defeat but it really was bad today. Atkin goes over after they knock on and he pulls it back, no advantage. An then the softest sin bin you’ll see all year on Mose, shocking. Totally outplayed that Leeds team and got nothing from the official once again. Forward passes are an absolute joke also. Only one thrown by them, what a load of tosh

Perhaps you should of done more with the 8-1 penalty count the (robbing official) gave you in the first half.

Our performance was dire but I was making a comparison with poor refereeing displays

Mickey Mouse was poor today, that is pretty much agreed. He did not however lose us the game. We had several chances to post points late on but just lacked that bit of composure and direction to get over the line. I think as a team we have come on over the past few weeks but with quite a turnover over players in key positions on a week by week basis we still have a way to go.

fair doos, we may have to have a look at the aussies again and try 2 , but maybe it would double trouble, our video men are as bad ,close games , close calls, leeds will be relieved tonight they were outplayed and won so the ref cops it ,they will have their complaints also

Leeds defence was top class in the second half.

The ref lost count twice. Gave leeds an extra tackle when it wasn't a 7 tackle set and put his hand up for the 5th tackle after we had only had 4 in the second half.

If mossy was sinbinned for a high shot, why was the shoulder charge on Mossy not also given 10 in the 1st half?

Especially in the 2nd half, it was clearly visible after the sin binning that Hicks playing as touch judge was telling the ref what to do over his Mic. I'm all for on the job training but it was getting ludicrous towards the end with all the late calls from Hicks telling him what to do.

ref standard is awful imo, its embarrising some of the calls, you never know these days when he blows who hes gonna penalise, as was said in HDM when its a major final the ref hardly blows up just lets the game flow, don't know if 2 refs is the answer but cant be any worse?

But its not awful (according to Ganson) its all the players' fault. There needs to be a root and branch investigation into the referee department at RFL. Results are being influenced on a weekly basis by incompetent referees.

Despite the terrific performance yesterday,the facts are excluding the cuptie against wigan our next fixtures are wakey away which imo is winnable,our neighbours who despite not playing well beat us with a man short,home to wigan and saints away.How many points can we get from those I would think 4 would be a reasonable haul,which would still leave us in deep trouble even if we get 4pts.I think we have to prepare ourselves to be in the bottom 4,salford and wakey already have 10 pts so a win against wakey is critical and would give us a chance of escaping.I thought the spirit shown yesterday was terrific,we seem to be giving our all,vai vai and carney could be a cracking combination to hopefully spring a couple of surprises, so fingers crossed that things arent as bad as I fear.
I feel we deserved 2pts yesterday but as with the loss at the cats the major decisions are not going our way thats a big 4pts gone and would have made a huge difference to our season.
