I played and to a reasonable level for 20 years. In my last ever game I asked to substited of because of a tackle I made. It wasn't dirty, it was hard but fair. The opponent had just put a big shot on me in the previous set, so I put a big hit on him. He had an epileptic fit following my tackle. I think about it every day.

I can accept that but that hit has no place in the game we love and if some bellend was clapping a seriously injured player off then the red mist would descend, and yes I would have let myself down but I would have done the same if one of ours had done the same if it was reversed

Our game is hard and is played by brave men, cowards can have a field day but have no place in our game. You had the skill and fitness to win tonight but were let down either by individuals or a gameplan

Not sure about the point

I was replying to gregs post

Were these idiots from Leigh at the Shay match? Yes, stuff like this has no place in the game but Barlow is one of the worst offenders at this kind of "attack". Why is it him that's always at the centre of controversy?

At the risk of repeating myself, anyone who does this on a pitch should be punished. Sam was rightly sent off in that game and it was up to the rfl the punishment he recueved, the same will occur with manning. I have never defended a player irrespective of team who behaves like that on the pitch.

Im very disappointed after last nights game ,which should have been a good game to watch ,Halifaxjohn and Bentleyman it was good to see you BOTH idont often blame Refs , but I think Leatherbarrow lost Control of the game early on , Bracek would make a good Aussie all the mouthing he does with Fieldmouse not far behind him .

As for the game it was a War at times , from both sides , but the challenge on Sam WAS off the ball ,the Ref seemed to be about to put it on Report then all hell broke out from BOTH sides ,I think BOTH players should have been sent off , I agree the game is not tick and pass , but the challenge on Sam was terrible , maybe a bit of revenge , but that's not needed in our game .

Leigh are a better Rugby side than Fax and the gap will widen even more next season with the Funding money as 3rd spot for Fax may now be optimistic , I was happy with the result , but not with Fax and their tactics .

Watch the incident on you tune it was the worst of a number of cheap late hits
If that's how we roughed it up at yours then we watched a different game which is on. Lctv

NL. I have watched it and I have a different take on it. Ok I'm a fax fan and your always going to have a difference if opinion.

By being a Fax fan you are not allowed an opinion on this subject, you must follow the Leigh party line.
