for those fans that dont understand why the offside one wasnt given its because webb made no attempt to get back onside, cracking game

fair enough there were a few dodgy calls but you got to only look at the saints wigan game same for that imo if not worse, i thought the last leeds no try was only just a knock on but could tell the ball was just about travelling forward which deemed it to be a knock on, fair play to bradford though would never of expected that win

It's amazing what can be achieved when the plan doesn't involve channelling everything through a past it scrum half, and when there isn't a clown at the back constantly handing over the initiative.

Poor quality game, in comparison to the other two derbies over the weekend, but at least there was a bit of pride and effort in the performance and a lot more backbone on show than in recent times.

Good game and good luck for the rest of the season!

Glad the result did'nt come down to Sykes kicking, He played well otherwise.
Much better structured defence than previous games and excellent one up and group tackling.
Great use of plays to to gain field position, and Halley helped in this with swift returns
Few occasions of errors and penalties kept us on he front foot and Leefds having to work out of their own 25 so many times.
Credit to all of our forwrds but Matt Cook shold have beem MOM in my opinion for an awesome stint of tackling

On the game tremendous effort and enthusiasm shown by the team. The goal line defence was also very good but we were letting Leeds make far too many meters at times.

All 3 have been of the same quality which hasn't been the best.

Mate we're not in the NRL, just saying that I see tries given like that all the time. The last decision was more dubious for me but at the end of the day I'm just happy with the result of the game.

Im fully aware its not the nrl, the point i was putting across is the rules are very much the same when it comes to getting back on side, although maybe a bit more harsher worded in the nrl,where Webb spent the majority of his cereer playing!

I'm also fully aware its not the nrl, I don't see where he's played has anything to do with it to be honest. I often see players who are off side let the play pass them and then and then join back in with play. I have seen so many tries stand when this has happended. I'm sure Webb questioned it because he has also seen many other tries scored like this as well.

If that is the law then well done to the referee but I know if the decision had been the other way round I would of been fuming.

Anyway it's all done with now so lets all enjoy the win and look forward to Monday.
