I think James Graham had every right to be annoyed last night. They could have broken or damaged his arm which was obviously the intention. No need for it. He was tackled, he doesnt need his limbs removing to prove it!
Leeds came out to take heads off and thats what they did. They say we play dirty...not by those standards we dont. That was nothing short of thuggery in parts, and as for Senior's mouthing off...dont need to see it in our game. I appreciate the spur of the moment but he repeated himself over half a dozen times with threatening behaviour. He should have had a red card to cool off if nothing else. I think it was Tony Smith that commented there needs to be aggression in the game but controlled aggression. He was certainly far from controlled.
The RFL need to clamp down on this before it gets out of control.

100% correct, Leeds dragged the game down a level last night.

Agreed, a bit of an over aggressive effort from leeds.
Many said that was playoff intensity, but I don't think for one second Leeds would play with that much aggression if they were up against Hudds or Hull KR, or anyone else for that matter in the Play offs

Leeds were a disgrace to Super league last night. James Graham had every right to be annoyed. I felt sorry for him. JJB is an absolute joke. Dirty play from a champion team!!! It wasn't just last night its every Sky game i've watched them play in.

I honestly don't think they bullied James Graham at all. Graham has been sin binned in the past for retaliation, as have a few of our guys when playing Leeds. So the emphasis is not to retaliate as when a player retaliates, they get the punishment. Why risk leaving the team one man down just so that fans can say who is alpha male? Not worth it, especially with the playoffs so close and performance/results important.

I don't like watching Leeds for the same reasons. Dirty play and cheap shots. JJB, Smith, McGuire, Diskin: Not good to watch. I'm surprised that Bailey had a quiet game TBH!!

Romain Navarrete: “I’m very happy to have signed for Wigan Warriors. As soon I knew that Wigan were interested, they were the only team that I wanted to sign for. To me, Wigan is the biggest Club in Rugby League and it will be an honour to pull on the famous Cherry-and-White jersey next year. I look forward to working with Shaun Wane and the players at Wigan.”
