I know there's a thread about RFL disciplinary and another which touches on the treatment Leeds get but I started another thread because, although similar, is a specific issue.
Having seen Leeds at the weekend, watching them against us and also seeing the highlights of their Bradford a few weeks ago there is an alarming trend growing that the RFL seem to be doing nothing about, fighting. In the Bradford game Diskin was targeted and there were two brawls involving most of the Leeds players running in and even jumping over the top to try get involved. This was repeated against us with the penalty Sam took quickly which resulted in Coley's ban and again at the weekend it all kicked off as soon as it was clear the game was lost. Considering the number of bans we've had despite not being a dirty team I wondered if anyone has got the stats for the number of cards/bans each team has had and if anyone can remember seeing a Leeds game when it doesn't kick off?

Re: Leeds Rhinos
As soon as leeds start losing they start fighting they are a scum bag team full of absolute scumbags

Petulant cheats - they always have been, always will be.
The only reason they have got away with it was they were good enough to win; their ugly side has always reared it's head when they have been losing. Their time in the sun appears to have passed and so they have reverted to how they used to play before they were champions.
With Senior leaving and Buderus looking likely to go home, the remaining players are starting to look shop worn. Throw in the most clueless coach since Cullen and things do not look good for the whinos.
Long may their demise continue, I never liked them, their fans or their chairman
