It was interesting to hear Seniors views in the Q & A session after the game when he said there was a noticeable change on last season in the "play the ball" for both our games so far. He said the refs were allowing a lot more time on and wrestling and it was impacting the way Leeds play the game. I have not watched the Saints game yet but it would be interesting to see if all refs are doing the same.

Having watched the saints game when I got back I can tell you that Eddie and Stevo were discussing the play the ball but it was about how players roll it with their hand and don't touch it with there foot, as for holding down, it seemed pretty average
