    Yeah offside but easy to see why it's missed!

    One other thing I’ll say - we are playing much better than in recent weeks. Even with all the sitting back. Just look a lot crisper.

    Jobe’s movement is brilliant as well

    Danny Collins just said a very good point. If it's not a penalty how come Mundle wasn't booked for diving?

    one of my biggest annoyances with refs this (and I was a ref). Mundle arguably should have been booked personally.

    Leeds are a very good team but that doesn't mean we can't beat them, they've had some really shaky moments and keep leaving Jobe in space ... he can't miss every chance.

    Cirkin has been incredible and they've all worked hard, just needs a little more calmness on the ball. Just remains to be seen if we go for it or settle for a point, I'd rather take the chance to really go at them for twenty minutes after the break.

    My only concern, Roberts needs to track back, and not just as a token gesture, but as a committed player wanting to win the ball back or stop their left back from advancing.

    Jobe and Cirkin looked very good imo.

    Ok first half. They've been the better team but I think the chances we have created have been excellent. The Rigg goal, though fortunate, was a brilliant move and Jobe has had a couple of chances where he should have done better. Mundle dived in my opinion so ref got that right, but their goal was offside so lino got it wrong (though it was close so it's just one of them things).

    This game for me was built for Browne. Nonidea why he’s not started. Think he’ll be on after not too much of the second half

    Hopefully Reggie can get them sorted at half time. I would give Riggy another 15 mins then bring Browne on to give them another problem

    Browne for Rigg on 59 minutes and Rusyn and Watson for Isidor and Mundle on 70 minutes are nailed on.

    All RLBs subs so far seem premeditated

    Because there was contact, but not enough to make him go down I'd think.

    Aye refs seem to have given up on booking players for diving. They shouldn't though, needs clamping down on not ignoring.

    Not that I'm clamouring for Mundle to get a card but objectively he should have.

    Obviously the goal went to Rigg, but every time I've watched it, it looks like Cirkins effort crept over the line.

    his movement and positioning is just ridiculous. Finishing poor today though.

    yeh it looks like it did doesn’t it? Do we have goal line technology in championship? I guess the ref would have blown if it was in.
