It is affecting Leeds as one of your best players has got away with a cock up from the MRP. Had he been banned it would have helped us hence why many Leeds fans are up in arms over it. To say we have a loser mentality is something Saints clearly had in what was it 5 grand finals? You have a great team and some great fans but gloating eventually comes to an end even to the best of us.
You’re misunderstanding me. The loser mentality is crying out for one of the oppositions best players to be banned. To want/feel like you need to benefit from an incident that never effected you and are angry and feel “robbed” that it’s not. You’re not hard done to because a player from the opposition is actually playing. That’s the loser mentality. You should want and be confident in giving us a game with or without knowles.
The mentality isn’t anything to do with your club or either our team’s actual level of success. I’ve great respect and a healthy dose of fear of your club. I just think this whole thing is really sad, but then I’ve thought that about RL fans for years when you watch a great game and hop online and 95% of comments are about the refs and “cheats”. It’s so boring
The only reason they look up to you is because they chose to kneel.

Anyway, you’re boring now. Only you and that moron something vee or whatever his name is are trying to justify a dog act. Hopefully Liam Moore has bollock$ as big as Child did and France, and doesn’t fold like a deckchair with the pressure from Saints and Welsby trying to run the game.
Nobody is justifying it - just pointing out that Leeds fans are acting like toddlers by refusing to accept there was nothing wrong with appealing an incorrect charge and banging on about refunds, corruption and disgraceful world ending scenes for someone who held a bloke’s wrist to slow a PTB.
At least you’ve moved on from Knowles to be worried about Welsby now. Might I suggest Woolf next?

Doubt if this was week 1 it would have been talked about anywhere near as much. For what it's worth watching live it was a poor challenge. For me yellow card and nothing more. However, compared to some of the crap bans we've seen this season to come away with nothing is unacceptable. The issue for me isn't Knowles playing or not it's the consistency of the panel. The fact more people are talking about this than the actual game is worrying. Best thing to happen would be the rfl binning the match review panel end of season and coming up with something new. Players know the risks when they cross the white wash. Only ban someone for something really bad.

Enjoy the match.
Not all Leeds fans.
But if we take either clubs bias out of it what it has highlighted is how incompetent the RFL are and the process isn’t correct.
Bearing in mind the second appeal judiciary didn’t even review the actual incident which led to a ban, the appeal wasn’t about that, the appeal was about the wording that the first appeal judiciary review used in their summary.
How then can the second appeal judiciary over rule the original MRP’s verdict without reviewing the actual incident on which the MRP gave the decision on.
Knowles got off because of a technicality not because the third panel thought he wasn’t guilty, that’s an unfit process.

If we keep myler at fb and Smith in the halves, Martin can stay in the pack and Tetevano can go interchange prop where we're going to need him v saints. Myler can still jump in at first receiver and defend at fb. I'll be surprised if Rohan goes with him in the halves.

Smith's mentioned different options a couple of times. Leeming in the halves and Smith on the bench perhaps? I wouldn't rule out a Dwyer swansong either. Personally undecided on the latter but I won't be complaining if he ducks over for a 78th minute winner. Though I reckon we'll have it in the bag before then.
