Leeds make it part of their game to steal the ball when there are two are more tacklers. I've noticed it for a few years now and vividly remember them doing it about 5 times to Wigan at the JJB a few years back when it was raining. They often get away with it as Sinfield did in the play-off game at Leeds last season.
I'll be watching out for it tonight. Probably end with egg on my face.

The amount of times Leeds tried stealing the ball last week was unreal. Ganson had their number though.

Yes, I noticed that last week.

Yeah I've been thinking that for a while, it's a calculated risk I suppose. The refs need to get on top of it so the odds aren't in their favour anymore.

One of Tony Smith's tricks at both Leeds/Wire is to have the 2nd/3rd defenders "Attack" the ball carrying arm going into collision and when there's 2/3 men in the tackle.
Noticed it in Wires Play within weeks of Tony Smith going there after a couple of years of seeing it at Leeds.

This really needs to be ref'd out of the game before it ruins it as spectacle for the fans. The RFL need to get a grip of this before it kills our game...

If we've noticed one would think that the officials have noticed too.
One hour to go. Looking forward to a good game.

Wait till they play Saints Wilkin will tell the Ref .....

How is that not a knock on?

There goes the first penalty of the game.

Against Leeds.

Interference at the play the ball.

Professional foul? Knew EXACTLY what they were doing.
