Lee's had his detractors over the years - and there have been one or two indiscretions - but I honestly believe there is no-one in SL who has a rugby brain like Lee.

The guy thinks of everything - every tiny advantage he can get he does,
Last night was - as you say - classic Lee.
May have fooled some for a few seconds, but that's what it's all about.
A few seconds.

As he's got older he's used his brain more and is arguably a much better player for it.

Whether it's a quick tap, a well judged kick, a slight of hand or distracting the ref - he's got the lot.

It really has been a privilege to watch him play over the years.
Keep it up Lee

Not crying, just stating a fact - he was offside.

We were the better team by a mile, but couldnt finish to save our lives. Silverwood gave you the 50/50s and before you start - i'm not complaining about the Luakai call, despite the fact spade face westwood tried to start a fight on the same play that won you the game.

Enjoy your win, but you'll choke in the play offs (again)

He really wasn't offside. In front of the ref, yes, but the ref was stood further back than necessary.

Watch the replay again, count 10 metres (if you can count 10) from the play the ball, then come back and apologise.
