Apparently everything was his fault one Fax fan behind me shouted "Another head tackle from Barlow , get him off " , then I pointed it out Sam was already off the field .I had a flat tyre this morning , of course it was Sam Barlows fault .

Punched Gareth Potts as he was walking off the field. Also heard he said something to the match commisioner but could be wrong. I missed the incident myself but noticed his trainer pushing him off field and telling him to keep his mouth shut.

| I like Sam, whenever we wanted photos of him or Josh with our grandchildren he would always oblige. Whenever I meet him in Halifax we have a quick chat. I spoke to him after the game, I never mentioned the incident nor did he, but he was down, very down, the fact that Leigh won was no compensation for the sending off and defenately no compensation for the disgraceful reception he got when he came on and when he went off.
Come on, remember us getting cross with the way the supporters of the backwater club he came from? Rob as well.
Sam wears his heart on his sleeve, but, we would be better with him.

| I think Fax had been told before the game to wind Barlow up because they know he has a short fuse. However by the time Barlow came on Fax were winning easy and on a roll and yet they still tried to wind him up even though they didn't need to do so.
Barlow obliged (obviously) because he is too much of a hot-head at times and gets drawn into it too easily. But it dragged both teams into a brawl and at the end it was Leigh who came back to playing rugby first and Fax carried on with the rough stuff (Tonks imparticular was throwing head high shots and leading with the elbow all 2nd half)
I think both teams were as bad as each other in turning the match into a brawl but it suited Leigh and definitely stopped Fax's momentum. Once the momentum was stopped Leigh went back to playing rugby (except Barlow who got himself sent off) and Fax carried on trying to 'smash' Leigh until suddenly we scored back to back tries and took the lead. At that point Leigh had then momentum and Fax couldn't stop it even with an extra man, just like we struggled to stop you 1st half when you were on a roll.
Basically Fax went out of their way to wind up Barlow (which worked) but at a time when one more try would have finished the game IMO.

| What evidence do you have that Fax wound Barlow up when he came on? I think Barlow was sent on by Rowley to break the game up because Leigh were getting mullered. It worked.

| Sam didn't have time to get wound up by the Fax players. His first challenge on getting on the pitch was a swinging straight arm challenge to the Fax players head. That is what started the initial rough stuff. Within another 2 minutes he was off the field again.
He's a nice lad off the field, just can't help himself though when he's on the field.

| Sorry but the tackle he was sin binned for was a fair one! Also the second sin bin ref got wrong it was Tonks and Emmet not Acton so ref had a shocker IMHO .
No film of the sending off but apparently he missed with his punch so I think he will get sending off suffient.
As for our dirty tactics watch again Tonks closely !!!!!!

Well said Lynda , only GFs Bootees has apparently seen the replay and his views makes Karl Harrisons views on the match as perfect .

Quite funny really, I saw the uppercut punch on Potts as Barlow was being subbed, it looked like Potts had one of those red noses planted on his face. The fourth official must have seen the same nose planted on Potts's face also. As why would he inform the ref.??

Not a chance that Barlow`s tackle is legal. Watch closely and you can see his arm is high but not only that it looks like his shoulder that connects with Bracek`s head causing his head to whip backwards. I think it should have been a straight red and the only thing that stopped that happening was because Bracek stayed on his feet wanting to fight.
The sending off offence is also on the video, its a punch to Heaton for no reason I would imagine, plus the fighting with Manning before that an also the fighting with Potts after that. Watch him that last set of 6 when the trainer has told him he is coming off, like a bear with a sore behind just looking for trouble. That try should have been disallowed because of his actions on the tackle of the try.
Ive also watched Tonks and cant really say I saw much, the thing that seemed to wind him up was when he flatted the Leigh player with a legitimate hand off and he comes back in and grabs him round the head, again something the ref missed but is clear on the video.

| We'll see what happens at the disciplinary. The length of his ban will shore up one version of these events or another. Either that or his past thuggish record may come back to haunt him and they'll six-match him anyway.

, I saw the incident and there was no fight, just one uppercut from Slamming Sam "as Pete Emmett" used to call him.
