Ablett v thompkins, the south stand made plenty of noise with that hit.
Thompkins was down and the cheers went up....so pipe down it's rugby league not netball.
I wish burgess a speedy recovery.

Re: Leeds up next : Sat Aug 14, 2010 10:50 am  

I posted this on a thread on the Leeds board.

Wow, this thing really is escalating into something quite ridiculous. Johnny Walker went for a big hit, a fair hit within the laws of the game. The intention was to hit whoever ran the ball out, and hit him hard enough to hopefully get the ball back. The positioning of players from the kick off makes it so that the big guy is the one charging the ball out, to help minimise the risk of losing the ball on this first impact, where both players are charging at each other often full speed.

As the hit went in Luke went down, dropped the ball and Johnny celebrated the big hit. Just like we see many times from players all over the world. He was congratulated by his own players. Meanwhile the Cas fans cheered the hit and then chanted the name of Johnny Walker. Something every other set of fans does when a big hit goes in.

After a few moments it's obvious Luke is unconscious and the game comes to a stop. Players chit chat among themselves, the ref has a little laugh with johnny Walker, while Bluey watches on someone behind him is laughing (can't remember who it was). The Cas fans chant aimed at Senior. Senior rubs his tummy as if he finds it really funny (sarcastically of course) and then the Cas fans sing "if you hate Keith Senior clap your hands" to which Ryan Hall laughs and claps his hands.

The fans at the ground cannot see the blood coming from Lukes mouth. The fans watching on TV can see the blood. Luke is stretchered off and the whole ground applauds him.

The events above are an exact copy of what happens at every rugby league ground. For some strange reason a certain few people want to make so much more out of it and it really is pathetic.

Leeds had a far superior defence last night. Almost unbreakable. They played right on the edge of being legal and illegal and we could learn a lot from them .

1. Breaking away from the scrum, Leeds did this lightning quick (although a little early IMO)
2. Diskin and McShane were a yard offside at virtually every tackle but didn't get caught. Why? because they were clever with it. If the ref wasn't looking they carried on, if he looked they let the line catch up with them.
3. Senior slowing down the play of the ball with some bizzare greek wrestling technique by laying on top of the grounded player and spinning on his stomach about 180 degrees. Weird but effective.
4. JJB interference at the play of the ball every time he made a tackle. Pretty blatent but got away with it.

Apart from the JJB one which the ref should have seen, the rest were basically well coached and you have to admire it, so why the hell don't we do the same?

One thing for the Leeds fans, does McShane always run like he has messed his pants? Had me in stitches every time he ran.

I wish Luke Burgess a speedy recovery. Leeds were far better than us and it showed.

So it was the Ref's fault?

Anyone care to answer me why there was big cheers when JP went down?

But he picked up on infringements that the Ref didn't. Thus meaning the ref was at fault.

But those cheers shouldn't be happening, love Leeds or hate Leeds (or any team for that matter) you should have enough respect for the 17 opposing warriors on the pitch not to cheer and enjoy when they get injured.

some of your fans were disgraceful it didn't take a genius to see he was in a bad way yet there were still comments being shouted out and chants going on when the bloke was having a neckbrace put on and a stretcher had been brought out. Instead of having a go at someone for stating facts you want to open your eyes and ears and you'll realise that this growing minority of idiots will drag your club out of Super League, the decent fans will suffer for it but at least those morons will probably never be seen again. Well done to those who kept quiet while he was being dealt with and clearly most fans applauded Burgess when he went off but its time to start making a stand against these so called fans instead of denying their existence. I've defended Cas fans loads in the past,my grandparents are from Cas and I think the locals are a decent bunch, I really don't want you to go down but there were a significant number of people behaving like scumbags tonight and I'm surprised more people haven't mentioned it.

Go grow a pair, it doesnt concern your cheating shower so why bother..............child
