Win for wire vs saints.

After watching the game, it's apparent that cheats DO prosper.

wahhh

Isa last night seemed to be on a mission to get sent off. The complete breakdown of discipline for five minutes was very bizarre.

An incident packed win for the Rhinos at Wire. Finished the game with 11 players with Wire making too many mistakes. The ref went easy on the Rhinos slowing down the play the ball and the first binning was well deserved for a high tackle. Not sure about the 2nd yellow card but we just got over the line.

Wite a bit unlucky having a try disallowed in the 52nd minute that could have gone either way

A fair assessment. Leeds played well. Bit of a frantic last 10 minutes but game was already won by then.

Saints win the Challenge Cup. Fairly comfortable in the end, but the last try made the scoreline a bit harsh. There wasn't any outstanding performer, but I wasn't convinced by the Lance Todd choice - scored one excellent try, but blew another break when failing to beat Coote. I thought Walmsley was immense, but had a rest, whereas both hookers played the whole game as far as I could tell.

Endured Noble turning in one of his idiotic performances and disdain for knowing the rules on being in/out of play. Knock-on call could easily have gone the other way - both codes of rugby have long ignored the basic concept of 'forward' for knock-ons and passes.

I think the ball went backwards in the lead up to Roby’s try. If the ref had given a soft decision of no try then maybe it would have been ruled out (given it was a close call) but I think the ref was right.

It was an excellent try saving tackle by Coote on Evalds tbf although the Cas football back could have made it tougher.

The heatwave stopped it from getting close to a classic IMHO.

Yes, I thought it ent backwards, and the hands definitely did and agree that it wouldn't have been overturned if called forward.

Evalds - yes, I think he'd probably have been upset with himself getting caught. Good for Coote after his last cup final. Tough act to follow next year.

Can't imagine how hard it must have been to play in the Wembley suntrap. First half was very good.

Australia and New Zealand have pulled out of the WC - that's kind of wrecked it!
