Leigh v Halifax

Quote: Greg Florimos Boots "Watching the highlights I were probably a bit harsh on Wood. I don't think Tangata's tackle is late but it is 2 feet off the floor and high, I don't think bad enough for a red as it looks a push but yellow we couldnt have moaned about. I can't see what Flemming does as the camera moves but assuming the linesman was in a good position he probably got what he deserved. The other stuff I have a problem with is Sam Brooks, who I have no idea how he didnt get sent off swinging bombs while our player is held back defenceless in front of the lino. The Leigh no 11 also gets a couple of cheapshots in and Thornley got a few in although Thornley's didn't look as bad but would have liked to see the full incident as I doubt he just stood there while Flemming threw punches. I think Tangata Yellow and Flemming Red would probably have been fair but at least 2 Leigh players should have been red carded for the afters so Im not quite sure how all that got missed.

Not a gripe at the result like as we were totally outclassed and never looked at the races. Anyway its not a Leigh V Halifax match without a bit of fire is it.
Like I said on initial thoughts - 'six of one and half a dozen of the other'. Our highlights don't show much of the fracas after Tangata's (slightly) late and high shot. In my opinion, it was high, but not with any particular force. Our cameraman follows the ball, and only belatedly pans back to show a Leigh player throwing punches. Much of the punishment is likely to come from the ref/tj's evidence and I suspect that punishment might be somewhat different to that doled out by the ref. Although you never know - Adamson's citing at the Summer Bash, certainly wasn't for what the Sky team showed!
