Robbed. Great game and played well but feel totally robbed
Sorry, but your first try was miles forward, Currie didn't do anything to affect Connor with that knock on, he stood his ground. You also got away with a massive knock on I think it was your winger? So to say 'robbed' is comical.
I agree with most of that. I don`t think we were robbed but Tom Grant is a terrible ref something I referenced at the start of this thread.Didn`t see the massive knock on by our winger and did think Lumb had the ball pushed out of his hand in a 3 man tackle that we challenged and Thaler got wrong.
The sinbinning changed the game in your favour I felt and was probably the right call albeit farcical nowadays.
Grant not knowing the rules at the end not that we would have scored but still you would think a ref would know how many players should be in a scrum at that stage.
We may not have scored, but we were denied the opportunity to by a referee who either didn't know, or did know but chose not to apply, the rules. This is not something that should be swept under the carpet.
The referee did make a mistake but Leeds played some dumb rugby in the final quarter. That’s two points that have slipped through your fingers. Good to see that your team is improving though.
We are improving, and as I say it's heartening to see what we do in training manifest itself come game day.
On the refereeing, it's an important point, much wider than one game. This isn't disagreeing with his interpretation of a rule,; it's a clear case of him either not knowing the rule or choosing to disregard it. He'd sent Palasia to the bin only some 6 or 7 minutes earlier. As they are so very keen to tell the players, there is no mitigation for his decision. That there were 10 seconds left is irrelevant. Do referees have a difficult job? Of course they do, but they really lay themselves wide open to justified criticism with fundamental issues like this. The powers that be need to get a grip, and quickly.
