ey up another KR fans complaining about the ref penalty count was 6-3 in your favour last week, and your still complaining about it
2 sin bins were correct. Burgess neednt have gone into the tackle other than professional foul to slow the play down. Had it just been Gildart he would have been fine
high shot by todays rules is 10 mins plus potential ban.
we've conceded most penalties and most match bans this season, so you cant really whine that the refs are favouring Wigan

Just to correct you Field was still moving and his ball carrying arm wasn't grounded when Burgess came in. It wasn't even a penalty.
The Whitbread incident was a total accident but I accept that in this day and age players are going to be yellow carded as others have been.
Good luck against Wigan and hope you make the play offs.

the burgess 'flop' was never a card, bore off, clearly dont know the game, the whitbread one was a card but the theatrics from dupree was the laughable part, bounced straight back up after the yellow
oh and tom forber should of seen yellow for the late hit on the mikey but we dont play like that
sorry leeds for invading the post, good luck youll need it

Is that the same Mikey who got a Wigan player sent off in last years CC semi final. You know the one where he stayed down feigning an injury, but no it couldn’t be could it?

burgess was a clear professional foul, no need for him to go into the tackle
anyway, we'll take the result, seeing as we didnt deserve it and let the sky commentators blow smoke up your arses about how good you are etc etc

I would say it was more a card for holding Field down so that your defence had time to set up, which is ironic because if he had let Field get up and play the ball he would have had nobody to play it to.
Let's not pretend that our own clubs are golden child's and have not done exactly the same thing that Dupree is being accused of. We have been on the wrong side of it many times this season it is a case of if you can't beat them, join them unfortunately. Still, as you say, doesn't change the fact that the correct decision was made on the night.
The Forber incident is another contentious one. In my opinion, a potential "late" hit should never be watched in slow motion as there is no way you can get a true reflection on that players ability to pull out of a challenge. In fact, i would go as far as to say that it should be written into the laws of the game that a potential "late" hit should never be watched in slow motion unless there is suspicion of another misdemeanor. In the Forber one, they ONLY showed replays in slow motion, and even at that speed he has less than 1 second to pull out of the challenge, meaning he had significantly less time at full speed. Players have to be able to properly challenge a kicker otherwise where will the pressure on said kicker come from? Calling something like that a late hit is a dangerous precedent to set, if you can't put genuine pressure onto a kicker then anybody who is perceived to be kicking a ball becomes untouchable. Let's see how well that one plays out.
The fact that KR (and fans from other clubs) are still upset by this and complaining 1 week later is frankly embarrassing and a serious case a rose-tinted glasses.
Good luck tonight Leeds, looking forward to what should hopefully be a hard fought contest.

Yes let`s put in a performance and don`t fold like Hull last week. Hate to say it as I hate losing but a 16/18 point loss and plenty of effort is all I can ask tonight. Just shows how we are these days I suppose.

There were 2 far worse examples in the Saints game the following day and no one seems to be commenting. Go figure! Also, as said above, the KR fans seemed to be ok about it when it resulted in a Wigan player being sent off in the CC semi. Again, go figure! Lastly, I don't see anything about Leeming getting sin binned the week before against Catalans for a tackle the ref can be heard admitting was neither late nor high. One last go figure!
Anyway, safe travels to the Leeds fans coming over tonight.
