Did he get an instruction at half time...?
After a decent and fair performance in the first half, that display in the second was a joke, giving Leeds absolutely everything.
The first 15 mins of the 2nd half were particularly farcical. He started allowing Leeds an extra several seconds to clear the tackle - a couple of times Leeming was holding down the tackled Saints player whilst looking towards and communicating to his teammates to ensure they were set before allowing the Saints player up. Kendall did nothing. Then we (Lms?) had the ball kno led out by a Leeds hand: knock on. An almost carbon copy 2/3 tackles later with a Saints hand dislodging the ball: penalty. Numerous other wrong calls going Leeds' way.
But the crowning turd in the water pipe was the penalty against Bentley after he'd made a break then held down to a comical degree and as Bentley does finally force himself to his feet, the cheating Leeds player is knocked off - and Kendall gives Leeds the penalty.
If I didn't have utter faith that the RFL and Sky were scrupulously honest and had no agendas to follow, I might think Kendall had been instructed to stop Saints running up an embarrassing cricket score.
