Lost my Rugby virginity today
Enjoyed it
Didn't know the rules before the game. Soon picked them up
How did the ref miss the knock on before Leeds put in the two quick trys and conversions ?
It was a great game, played in the right spirit and I thoroughly enjoyed it .
Excellent close game with Titans just shading it. Pity both teams can't go up as they're both too good for this league.
Learned that rugby fans use the term 'Sir' instead of the 'C' word
Brammers, ditto to the first ever game etc. Had to ask a few times what the rules were but got the general gist of them.
As for the knock on, appalling and just goes to show how Refs, whatever the sport, favour certain teams. I was told at the end of the game, there is a centre of excellence for rugby based in Leeds and that's where all the refs go for physical training and guidance etc. As for yesterdays Ref, he was apparently from Batley, say no more!
Cracking game and the Titans gave their all, shame Leeds got those two late tries. At least they levelled up the 'games won' column. Great atmosphere with both sets of fans mingling and talking to one another. Alcohol allowed to be drunk pitchside with not an ounce of trouble. Now why can't football fans be like that?
Looking at remaining fixtures,both teams will probably win all 3 games,so as far as Titans they will need to rack up some good scores and get some bonus points notably at Preston,while leeds games look like they maybe a bit closer/tighter…be an exciting end to season whatever the outcome.!.

This means promotion is in the Titans hands.
