Disappointing of course but after a loss at least nowadays there's a foundation to build on, and I think if we do this a little bit better or this goes our way we'd have won. Whereas before, I was watching us lose and thinking, I don't even know where we go from here. I don't understand how we're even attempting to build a consistent team. Now it's very obvious, defence and pack is solid for the most part. If the attack gets a bit better, we'll win quite a few.



Also, we're certainly not missing Frawley or Ackers, keep them far away from the squad. I can't watch anymore of Frawley's kicks that remind me of pre-match warm-ups for the backs.

From what I can tell from the disciplinary notes Palaasia isn't even mentioned. 
Dufty and Vaughan are the only players named from the Wire game. Not sure if that means sin binning was sufficient or that he has been found blameless?

Means there was absolutely nothing with it. As everyone with eyes already knew 

Sin bin sufficient is what they are saying.
Clearly gives them a cop out to say he did something wrong but with limited action against him.

Yep, if he'd actually made contact to the head with shoulder he'd have been cited. 

The initial reaction of the Sky commentators was that it was a good legal hit.


On the slow motion replay Palasia's head is impacted first. I don't know if this is significant but it suggests it's a little more complicated than Palasia being a straightforward aggressor. 


In the aftermath of the tackle I thought the referee might have awarded us something because of Fitzgibbon looking for 'afters'.

What's frustrating for me is how well we played, to come up with nothing... Oh well, if they keep it up we should be able to see more wins in due course. You never know with Leeds though.
