| We didn't get much luck in the last quarter that's for sure. We could certainly have done with the odd fifty fifty call going our way in that period, though that's not to say we didn't get any through the rest of the game because we did, but having to defend for such long periods, at the scrag end of what had been a very physical encounter, didn't do us any favours at all and was always going to leave us under the cosh.
I think we battled tremendously in that period of the game to be honest, and the point we got was hard earned against a strong Leeds team. Much impressed by the increased fluency of the handling too, the season is getting better.

| Quote ="Ferocious Aardvark"Well, another sterling effort, and a game that we certainly deserved to win, and should have won.
Not many complaints, but some of them are critical.
1. The penalty against us for passing "after the tackle". Bloody ludicrous! Even if he had called "held" (and I just watched the vid and he did not) - WHY call held almost an instant only after being touched, and when clearly, to anyone, he is NOT held, and is struggling to get the ball away? A game-turner as we could easily have scored in the next tackle or two.
2. The Halley "No try". As most will know, I reckon our VRs are just there for comedic effect but really - a dropout??? On what possible basis? No sane person could ever coinclude that the Leeds player grounded the ball, and the only grounding that took place was by Halley's chest when he ended up lying on the ball. Which is, of course, a blatant try. And even if not blatant in your opinion - why is it that the Bulls never, ever, get a 'benefit of the doubt'?
3. Orford's attempts to kick goals. At least, I think that's what they were. For a man with a bit of a kicking pedigree, he is utter gash. Not even kicks under the posts are convincing. He doesn't even threaten the posts. We need to sack him off that job post haste. And of course it cost us the match.
4. The crass drop-out decision. At the very least it was debatable who put the ball out, and WTF did not the ref just ask the VR for confirmation of the correct re-start - as we see so often, and so wisely? Instead, we end up with a decision which is blatantly and amateurishly wrong, compounded by a pig-headed decision not to get the help available, and which would have taken 2 seconds. And again, it ultimately ended up costing us.
5. Reardon, it seems, is pathologically terrified of his touchline. I have lost count of how many tries have been let in, in the 25 metre gap that he leaves. He's not in general playing that badly, but he's an utter liability coming in off his wing like he does. And every team knows he does it, hence the kicks into space and hence the lomg passes out wide. Again, it ultimately cost us.
6. Having worked a decent position for a DG - WTF were we doing? Ended up very funny with Lynch's abortion almost sliding over but really - again we had the matchwinning chance almost on a plate right there and screwed it up.
So much for the complaints. Overall, though, what a massive showing from the team. orford just gets better and better. Langley, Lynch and Scruton are monsters. Whitehead is coming on leaps and bounds. And Menzies - well - what else is left to say? Plus L'Estrange is rapidly making a big reputation for himself. And NEro suddenly and inexplicably right back to form. The first half especially was top notch - and with a kicker, and without bizarre refereeing, we'd have been home and hosed. For much of the second half we were chasing shadows as a long sequence of decisions went Leeds way and we had about a billion consecutive tackles. Still we stuck at it, and almost won it. Not perfect, but an excellent and entertaining game, and a point which the doom-mongers never believed we could get.'"
Spot on IMO.

I think the Glenn Hall offload was a massive decision against us too. He called held simultaneously with Hall offloading and told Hall that the ball carrying arm had touched the ground in his explanation. It clearly hadn't and I think that was the start of the Leeds momentum. Poor call from Bentham, but after calling held too early he had no choice but to penalise.. clown.

Indeed.
From a neutral's POV (who wanted Leeds to lose ), what you say is exactly what I was shouting at my telly/discussing with my mates (depending on the point!).
It was a crackin match though even if the result wasn't quite right. Still, one point is better than none I guess.

| Quote ="RatedRKO"Is it just me or does everyone despise Ryan Bailey, the guy is just a pure thug, and a penalty machine. The amount of cheap shots from him tonight was mind blowing, and when Kearney was on the deck he comes flying in with a swinging arm towards his head. Just can't understand him, supposed to be a family game but don't think you can call it that with this toothless prat playing.'"
If I am not mistaken Bailey the penalty machine has given 7 penalties in 7 games this season
Don`t recall any cheap shots from him last night.
Whilst you are w$nking over Scrutons hit on Ambler. I thought McGuires hit was pretty impressive too.
FWIW you were much better for the first 60 minutes yet we could have won the game in the end had the ball gone to Sinfield instead of Kylie.
I think both teams need to improve and I am sure they will come the back end of the season.

cant remember who it was on but bailey flopped with the elbow and it was clearly seen on sky after the tackle had been made.
he is a dirty thug and the sooner the rfl give him a suspension the better. while ever hes getting away with it he will just carry on.

You've a lot of time on your hands havent you fella. I hate to think what you were picturing in your mind while you were typing this. Still thats OK its all down to freedom of choice and your own prefered sexual orientation at the end of the day. It is 2010 afterall.

| Thought that bit of waknerage was very out of character for Wilko!
And we'll finish this round of SL, a third of the way through the season, in the top half of the table. Early days but better than it might have been or than many detractors expected. Were we ever in the top half last season?

We were top of the league before any games kicked off this year and last year

Most fans of any club would be happy with 1 point away from ome at the champions.
Plus keeping them out of the play-offs for another round.

| I think BillyRhino is struggling a bit with the fact the Rhinos have been inferior to the lowly Bulls so far this year. Cut him some slack.

Yes I did see the flop or the one on one tackle granted whilst your man was on the floor. But from the back of the SS it was difficult to see the elbow leading.
I am not saying for one minute you are wrong. But if it was so clear on the TV and it was the elbow he will get at least 3 matches.
Still don`t see him as a thug just a good hard prop forward
