Leeds can count themselves lucky not to have had 2 cards in the last 5 minutes! Other days they could both have been red too! Kendal really is an awful ref.

The game is long gone regardless, Wakey were absolutely awful first half but have been spirited this half at least.

Thought this would be a close one. Miserable game even though Leeds have played some better rugby than of late.

Me too, and the game being over well before half time made my interest levels drop considerably.

It's the Jake Connor show.....that Sky studio must be a right sticky mess!

Another Sky game over before the half time interval, a reverse of the Leeds/Wakefield match.

Bill Arthur worst commentator ever. Oh for the days of Eddie and Stevo infact even Eddie Wareing was better.

If you dug him up he probably still would be.

No way was Eddie Wareing a better commentator. In fact he ensured our game wasn’t taken seriously outside the “heartlands”, he also did Its a Knockout and that was a stick that we were constantly beaten with.

Absolutely this.

Despite it not being an imitation and I'm sure that he was a decent bloke, he was a parody of a Northerner, who's main interaction with the Nation apart from 'The Feels Rooge' (sp) was Challenge Cup Final day. I don't think he sold the game with his OOPP and UNDERS even at a time when Mike Yarwood, Benny Hill and Dick Emery set the standards and ruled the Saturday night TV airwaves.
