Some sad news tonight : Thu Feb 04, 2016 10:21 pm  

I'm sorry to inform you all, of a sad passing during tonight's game.

Unfortunately, the death of Eddie Hemmings' dog was relayed to him, at the exact moment that tonight's game finished. Well, that's the only reason I can put forward for his deadpan reaction to our victory (away to last season's treble winners). Poor fella sounded so deflated.

Don't worry Eddie. The "RL family" are thinking of you, in these desperate hours.

It's funny, they made such a big deal out of the obstruction try, rightly so, though I feel Ablett milked it. But then when Hall knocks on and it's blamed on Gidley, it's conveniently ignored and off we go to a Leeds try, nothing's said.

Not much said about circumstances leading to Hardacker penalty. No way for me.

Good win tonight for you guys. Always nice to win at Headingley. Commentry team obviously wanted a Leeds sin.

I thought that at one stage Leeds were playing Leeds.

Good win for you guys, some impressive showings (Particularly Currie, Jullien, Gidley and Hughes) but nothing changes does it. Super League is a farcical product as it currently stands. The TV coverage is just the worst thing on TV. I turned it off at half time and let the Mrs watch her soaps and only just rewatched it on mute. Listening to those idiots makes the sport seem so amateurish, the presentation of the Pro Kabbadi League after it just seemed so much more polished and exciting. FFS Sky, sack them all and get some professionals to do the coverage and revamp the presentation.

And the refereeing is just simply woeful. A game tonight where the score and potentially the outcome was tossed around at random by some incredibly inept officiating. The obstruction was so blatant and to not go upstairs just smacked of pure arrogance. But they made so many other mistakes god knows whether they affected the outcome or not.

Was it a blatant obstruction? It bloody looked like it!

But that's not the point.

I have no problem with it been a try, but what I will have a problem with is the next dozen that get chalked off for less.

It's a total lottery.

I will be overjoyed when Stevo jacks in.

Unsurprisingly he spoke rubbish once again. His absolute made up bullshit comment that sandow came over here last year and "said to the world watch me go". Was just a plain lie. Sandow came over quite humble and with his head down Because of the nonsense that had been spoke about him by (another gob poop ) Peter sterling .

The only "claim " he made was "to concentrate on playing good footy ".

Stevo managed to make him sound like he came over here like some billy big balls giving it plenty, when infact it couldn't have been further from the truth.

. ... the bloke has been a huge blemish on our tv coverage.

back to the game top display from all players with special mentions to Rhys Evans and Ben Currie. ...

Thank god its the last year of Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb, but then they will have a chance to improve it and will fail dramatically. Until they issue a remit to the presenter's that they are to remain 100% impartial we will be in this same position.

I don't think it's Eddie's final year, just Stevo's
