      I dont care how good a player he sometimes is, I hate his guts for the way he acts for free kicks.

        Even this one, Lloyd quite clearly makes the initial contact & is holding Leo's arm at the time. Play on, if not a kick to Leo.

          He's holding Barry's arm because Barry has it stretched back holding Lloyd's jumper. A jumper grab is always noticed more - I don't know why players do it.

            Speaking of holding, Kirk has perfected the long arm bar.

            Figure four leg lock is next !

              He's holding his jumper coz Lloyd is holding his arm - why would he hold his jumper when he has front position unless he has arm held back there? Yes, the jumper grab somehow "trumps" an armhold but in this case, the armhold came 1st. That's how I saw it in any event...

                Well I think Barry put his arm back and grabbed Lloyd's jumper first because that's what he does.

                    Just like Windy Hill,Lloyd has had his day.
                    Well done Craig Bolton for getting the co- captaincy in 2008.

                    Your determination,your tenacity and your under-rated skill is why you have become my favourite player!

                        Having just watched that last night it is hard to see who did what first, and given Leo was in front of Michelle Wu, you would think that it was either ball up or play on.

                        BTW watching on TV for the first time last night the game from Saturday, Michelle Wu's diving was ceratinly worthy of a gold medal. He is unbelievable.

                          I am not fan of Lloyd's soft behaviour and am not excusing it. However it works for him and maybe Leo should know to treat Sir Lloyd with Kid gloves. Because he will get the frees. It does however swell my chest with pride that Baz does not carry on like that. Even if he gets STIFFED all the time.

                          Lloyd had an awesome game and worked harder than I can remember for much of the match. He even got bck into the defensive 50 for a few marks. I cannot stand him, but he did have a huge game and has an awesome kick.

                          Wears a skirt but.
