Every time leeds play why do they insist of trying to ref the game, and it gets worse when there losing, eg: last minute of the game.

I wouldn't worry about it. It's not as though it did them any good is it

On a wider note, it's about time some of the referees started to utilise the extra ten yard penalty for answering back. RL used to pride itself on the players respecting the referees decision (even if they do not get it right all the time). There are far too many players in SL who like to chirp away at the officials all game long.

Wellens, Graham, Wilkin at Saints have reffed many a game-Master class

As a Wire fan, it didn't stand out as being worse than usual. Of course, if they'd got back into it or if it had been a close game all of the usual candidates would have been mouthing off.

The officials got it very wrong on that last penalty, not sure what was supposed to have happened.

To be fair pretty much every team does this Graham at saints (well not now) Bries is awesome at it. Finch has started having a chat at Wigan, but thats only because lockers is a deaf mute when it comes to talking to the ref, which we have had to put up with for years.

To be fair in the last minute when Ablet tries approaching the ref Sinfield pushes him away and tells him to get lost.

It's not just Leeds - Seymour awarded Hull two penalties today, even advising Mr Ganson on the appropriate hand signals.

If it's the captain ie Sinfield what's the problem?

People have always gone on about Sinfield and Briers and Kevin Brown but as captains that is their right and it doesn't bother me a bit, the bit i hate is when every other bugger has a word say like Lee Smith.

Straight penalty, if they carry on, march them 10, still persist, stick them in the bin.

Its the manner in which its often done, and the fact they are clearly being quite aggressive, moreover when the ref has said "thats that!" they also carry on.

We need more penalties for dissent imo.

It's the impression of a Hummingbird that annoys me most about Leeds doing it.

Players in trying to influence the ref shock! In other news, the Titanic has sunk with great loss of life....
