Did anyone notice the ridiculous misread in defence by Jones Buchanan on the gels try?At first glance I put it all down to gelling,but I had to laugh at who he was trying to tackle on the slo mo.
Maybe he was a bit rusty(ask manfredis head lol)
Once a p%%%k always a p%%%k IMO of course

Did you hear Ben Thaler say to JJB

"I know you ain't played here for a while, and I know your excited, but you need to calm down"!
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

I think the guy was shattered. Probably played too long first game back.

Being old enough to remember the Suez Crisis probably doesn't stand in his favour either.

Seriously, I thought he'd retired years ago!

He wasn't the only Leeds forward that looked tired, Cuthbertson was on all fours within 10 minutes of the start. Our forwards absolutely battered them and we could and should have put 50 on them.

I laughed out loud when he went the wrong way as Gelling took off but I hope he gets cited for that dangerous tackle on Josh. It was JJB who grabbed Josh between the legs (by the shorts) and turned him over - that could have been really serious.

Correct I may be wrong but I though putting your arm/hand between someones legs was banned for that very reason
