Ref certianly did not cost us the game tonight. Leeds don't seem to like Ganson for some reason just heard what Bluey has had to say.

Thought our defence was shocking for that Burrow try. Diskin should have been smashed.

Also thought it was Drew that took no notice of Kears instructions for us to go for the 2?

Too many mistakes / missed chances in that game to say the result hinged on one decision. Cruel way to lose in the end, but fair play to Leeds, they stuck to the task. Very entertaining game, even if I'm gutted by the result.

up the rhinos

and i never thought i would hear myself say that, buy i really enjoyed that one

I was surprised, it isn't like Brough to give up the opportunity to get the cameras on him for yet another period of time.

i think it was a fair result to be honest as there was a definate knock on from peterson in the atkins try,and i think the best thing for you to do with peterson is to send him home before we try to sign him on with the rest of your dads army that we are supposed to be after, but for tonight

As a neutral it was a fantastic game to watch. Wakey played some quality rugby and Peterson stood out for working his butt off all night long, even when he was hearing birds tweeting around his head. All that effort and yet no result. Such a damn shame. I was ho by the end of the match, shouting you guys on. You so deserved to win.

What was wrong with Ganson tonight I don't know but there should have been two yellows for Leeds, not just one. And to give Wakey offside at such a crucial point when he hadn't given Leeds the knock on just moments before was a disgrace IMO.

And we won't mention the usual forward pass try given to Leeds. There seems to be one in every match this season.

Two things stand out though: why on earth Brough ignored his coach for that two points. Stupid, stupid. And I think Wakey began to tire with 10 to go. Just when they needed to defend like their lives depended upon it, they began falling off tackles and letting Leeds offload. If Wakey can play at that intensity for the full 80 and play such cracking rugby as they did tonight, then there's no reason to believe they won't be up there in the top four come playoff time. But they have to keep it up.

Grrr! I'm cross! That should have been a Wakey win!

I actually stood up out of my chair when the chip over, then a little cheer, a top game of rugby thou, unlucky on wakefield. JK need to tell either drew or brough or who ever overode his choice, that hes the boss thou, id have been steaming if I was Kear

Thinking back, you could be right about Drew. Not sure it was him on all 2 or 3 occasions when it wasn't too far out wide.

Perhaps it was time for Wakey's Capt to step forward and take control of the decision? It's one of the reasons why a player is given a Capts duties. Either way a guy of Broughy's experience as kicker, should have been looking to get hold of the ball and set up for the kick

Brough made the right decision running the ball was the best option at that point. That Blaymire didn't pass the ball when he should have done and then getting done for crossing/obstruction was the real killer not Brough's decision.

8 points up it was the right decision at the time, we should of held them for a set of six, poor defense

Agreed

Although the offside decision when Leeds knocked on and then Atkins non attempt to tackle Senior were equally as crucial

Disagree there, that was a MASSIVE mistake and cost you 1 point at least

had to laugh happened to Cas soooooo many times this year even against Leeds so we know how it feels but PMSL it was funny watching it happen to waky made my weekend that has cheers guys......

You cannot know that for sure. We could have taken the 2 knocked on from the restart and been buried before the last minute. It's all a game of chane but at that point with Leeds down to 12 and us on a roll running the ball and running down the clock and keeping the ball up their end was the option.

i know it for sure mate i have just watched it happen on tv and laughed my nuts off at every minute of it

Very true, running the play was has you say, taking a chance, 2 points was the smart play, thas why JK is the coach and not brough

For me taking two was obvious choice.

You're 8 points up with ten minutes remaining. 2 extra points would have given you a ten point lead, which means that Leeds have to score two converted tries to win regardless. 8 points, means they only had to convert one to win or none to draw.

You'd have got the ball back too and therefore been able to run it up again and just drill it out in there half.

Ah well, unlucky boys. Leeds = lucky bleeders.

Change the record will you

some good points

Bibey is awful, with 3 minutes to go there centre took a drive and Bibey pulled him forward about 10 metres, and got them into a good attacking position!

You lost me right there! Not here to gloat but to praise the Wakey effort. You deserved the points on balance. I just want to add what a class act John Kear is. The after-match interview you could see how much it meant to him but the joke he cracked at the end was fantastic! Eddie asked him if he would be able to sleep tonight after that and he quickly replied 'It depends who I'm in bed with!" Top bloke!

You've not watched Trinity much. Chances of them regaining the inevitable short kick off are very slim. Two points often results in a 4 point deficit.

Get your facts right we were 8 points ahead taking two at that point was not the right option hind sight is great but i agree with putting the pressure on the issue was giving away a penalty in possession for the crossing thats unforgiveable.

Even so, it would have required Leeds to have scored two converted tries. If they miss one, you still get a draw.

Risky stratergies are fine when your 20 or more points ahead, or you have nothing to lose.

However it's worth remembering that a team will take some beating if it opts to take the controlled positive outcomes. EG 2 points at crucial times of the game. Kear knew that, and signalled it down clearly.

Unfortunately Drew or Broughy (Whoever it was), knew better, and took a risk that didn't pay off.

A 10 pt difference, the ball back from the kick off, Leeds in pieces, 8 or so minutes on the clock ain't a bad position to be in!

Come the end of the year when this is just a statistic, people will be asking for Kear's head on a plate. No-one will recall when his key team players took it upon themselves to ignore his orders.

As an outside bet, I'd think that Broughy or Drew will get a rollocking on the back of this.
