No charges for either side.

Way too early to judge any of the NRL guys. As Smith said in his presser, it's a massive culture shock for them. Mud, rain and gale force winds and a fan base with little to no patience. It's a wonder any of them come to a country who hasn't really managed a meaningful challenge at international level in half a century. They'll all get better as the weeks go by.

Most of them come because they can't get a gig over there or are at the back end and it is a better pay day or easier game over here

A few Saints fans seem to think Croft should have been red carded for a tackle on Dodd late in the game. Sky missed it apparently (as did I watching on TV), does anyone know what they are on about?

It was in 78th Minute, they were comparing to the one that Percival got sent off for, but honestly it's nonsense. Ian Smith the former referee commented that it was nothing at all, Lomax (I think) was tackled by two Leeds players, Croft from the front, and he crumbled in the tackle. Play On.

That's undeniably true. And given that we know that, you'd think the expectation would not be so great.

How confident are we all feeling that we can learn the learns and beat them this week then...?

Surprised at no ban then, given Lomax is generally taken at his word in these cases.

There appears to be enough about this team to learn though execution is, as always, key.

I’ll judge him in a Leeds shirt not what he’s done before.[quote="christopher"]

Don’t you see how inconsistent your reasoning has become. You’re telling us we’ll be fine with Mom because he’s played at some decent clubs, irrespective what kind of start he has made at the Rhinos, yet in the next breath you’re prepared to overlook Frawley’s poor playing history completely. Which one is it ? You can’t reference one’s playing history as a defence and then totally ignore the other one’s .

No, if you read my thoughts in Mom ive said hes been good in a Leeds shirt, but he has decent pedigree in the NRL aswell.

Im not the one bagging new players after round 5

You are often inconsistent in your reasoning Christopher ( as am I) but at least I’m old and dementing!
You have Leeds blinkers , more than anyone I’ve ever chatted to, but you love the club and the game, go home and away and are incredibly loyal. Bet your a great family man too
