As did I. The game was as good as over as a contest, we'd thoroughly dominated the second half and had he stayed on we'd have scored off the next set or two and won the game.
When Shenton went off, it caused utter mayhem in the defensive line. The ref stupidly played on with us a man down and they made easy yards up to our 10 and we never recovered from there. With Wellens going off as well I think we ended up with only Foster in the position he started the game out of the outside backs and all the meaningful points came down Shenton's side.
Leeds exploited it fantastically though, can't fault them.
