You like him over that neck of the woods now blobs? Anderson wasn't so keen,

Not really, I think he's probably the worst ref in the comp. But, he had a reasonable game tonight IMO.

If the ref had been completely on the ball you wouldn't have scored a point tonight.

Quite right. We were dire tonight and completely bereft of any organisation.

5 drives one out and a kick downtown.

When we did contrive to move it wide the handling was abysmal.

Well done the Bulls ground out a win tonight against poor opposition.

See my post

exactly. some people can't accept we are poor and got beaten. They find anything and blame it on the outcome of the match no matter how stupid or insignificant. All descions made by the video referee were fair and if anyone bothered to read the rules they would no this!

Yes the ref + VR were poor, but we were awful, we look disjointed in attack, scrappy in defence.

It*s the first time i have heard of that law about a player not retreating,,but Phil Clarke seemed to know straight away and i think i heard Eddie Hemmings even qoute Law #9 (?) or something like that in the RFL book..

Even if you believe decisions went against (which is debatable) we should have been good enough to beat them.The Leeds fans are becoming like the Wigan fans of the eighties when they expected to win every game and could not take losing.

Well there you go, if the 3 wise monkeys say something then it must stand, as they get everthing right don't they?

Match referee and video referee had a fine game. Leeds were very lucky to have their try stand.

Just as last year, Sky start to make comment about who can stop us and we get stiffed by the officials and lose enough games to put their beloved Saints on top.
Tonight with ten mins to go and four points in it, Hemmings goes on about Sheriffe's try winning it for Bradford. With so much time left and a small margin how did he know that!!?? Because it suited Sky to have us lose and no way would we be allowed to win that's how!

It stinks and Cummins is party to it and I'm sick of it!! We get shafted all the time and we need to do something about it. I can just about take losing but I cannot take being cheated to make the league more interesting
