I'm more concerned that on Friday the Ref was telling he Video Ref what to do, rather than asking his advice.



IMO Smith used the 'big screen' to confirm Webb was offside and then told Halibut to declare 'No Try' and then late in the game told Halibut it was a knock on. IMO if a knock on is caught in front by a player from the same side, it's a forward pass, and you cannot rule against that using Video.



Anyway, we lost. Bulls won their cup final.



No more discussions from me re the loss.

Were you as concerned at MM when the Vidref was telling the ref on the field what to do? In an instruction (since shown to have been wrong anyway) which changed the outcome of the game. And especially when SL clubs had all been assured that that would never happen? If you are concerned about Mr Smith, you must surely have been incandescent over messrs. Klein & Ganson? Were you?



Were you making any allowance for the fact that M. Alibert's first language is not English, so he may have needed a bit more clarification about what was being asked of him than others would?



Also, just wondering how you gained the impression the ref should have been asking the vidref for "advice", when it was the vidref ti actually make the decision?



Just curious...

I stand corrected big fella.

I didn't know that either (or if I did I forgot) - thanks for that - one less chance for me to make a fool of myself in future

Can't be bothered going through ten pages, but in regard to leeds being robbed, put it down to karma. I'm sure you all remember the cardiff incident.

I'd love to answer all your questions, but I refer you to the last statement in my post....sorry.





Anyway, I don't really take much interest in the weekly rounds until around September, and clearly neither do the Leeds players. MacNamara has done a fine job though, getting his players to peak at Easter

I tell you whats curious, the amount of time you are spending on this forum, it must be 18 months - 2 years since you spent this much time on here!!



Now I aren't Sherlock Holmes but could it be something to do with the fact that the Bulls beat their local rivals for the first time over that period?



Answers on a postcard to:



We won our Cup Final,

Seasons over,

Play Offs,

I doubt it.



TIA

I'm sure a long and illustrious career in politics awaits!

Is it?



I did not post on RLFans for nearly a year, until a very few weeks ago. That may have had a bit to do with it. And its hardly surprising I'm posting on here a bit now, given we've just had a game and this is a far more active board than most. And anyway, there appears to have been quite a lot to discuss about the game, given the many many pages of posts about seemingly contentious issues.



One reason for coming onto this board has always been that there are plenty of decent, sensible - and sometimes even objective! - contributors. Sometimes it gets wearing having to avoid slipping on the fekkwits under your feet to talk to them, but its usually worth it.



So no, you are not Sherlock Holmes - you appear to be one of the local village idiots on here, according at least to various of your fellows and certainly from the observation of myself and others.

Hey admitting you have been away for a year isn't a bad thing, its good to see that my original observation was correct, I mean you took it one step further and didn't contribute at all, unlike some other Bulls supporters who climbed back under their rock once the wheels had come off the Bullmania bandwagon.



Anyway, I look forward to your posts at least until the Bulls visit Headingley at which point I further look forward to your next year off.

Nicely demonstrating my point about fekkwits. Looks like you wrote the book on it.



And as it happened, I left after a self-opinionated little prat of a then-mod on our OWN board threatened to ban me because I was not playing to his fifth-column agenda. Go ask a few of the sensible guys on here like Gareth if you choose to believe otherwise. I only came back when he ceased to be a mod, and other mods asked me to come back. And the only reason I am giving you the satisfaction of a reply at all is to make it quite clear my absence had nothing whatsoever to do with what you are suggesting.



I'm sure you have something useful to contribute someplace, so how about you running along now and doing it?

adey, you were doing well till you called gareth sensible.all your credability has now gone
