There was a point in the game where from 17 penalties Fev had the last 14 on the trot.

Were Leigh that poor in their discipline? Were Fev that squeaky clean? Did a certain dummy spitter have a word with Stokes at HT in order to even things up?

There were some baffling decisions all night, the most was to penalise McNally for not playing the ball properly. If you penalise that then you have to penalise 95% of play the balls.

It might have helped if somebody had put another shilling in the meter , how the Video Ref could make a decision I dont know , it was the darkest match I've ever watched



My only other gripe is why he thought it useful to ref it like you would an under 6 s match

" Wait , wait , Wait , GO " , sorry if proffessional players need all that there is something wrong , and strangely he used different words for each team , Leigh got , " Hold , Hold , ok " , but not as loud , strange

Especially as we got 'pinged' for it in the first half. No consistency whatsoever.

In terms of the penalty count, I believe we've only conceded 8 penalties in the last three games put together before last night, so we've hardly got a pattern of poor discipline.

Well I don't know the score but I think it will be about 18 points to Fev.
Leigh will start strongly playing down the slope with a few penalty decisions going their way.
An early lead by them will be clawed back by Rovers but I think the Leythers will score just before the break adding to their points total to have a half time lead.
I predict coming down the slope and with a massive penalty count from the man in the middle with whom any similarity with reffereeing a rugby league game is purely by accident Fev will come storming back.
This will be to the delight off the home crowd and the home coach who will be greatfull not to receive the certain fine that he would have got if the aforesaid official had done the same to his team.

Any further comments regarding the whistle blowers will have too similar results Leigh will remain scoreless and complaining to the RFL will be pointless.

That crown would have to go to Barrow a couple of years back where the Fax fans in the second were singing "We can't see what's going on" for 40 mins.

Ironically, Leigh asked if they could play in their red & white kit on Thursday, after complaints from spectators about not being able to see them in their black alternative kit, on our two previous visits to POR this season.
