Glad Catalans won, I also hope Patterson gets a ban for his actions against Myler while he was on the deck with a head injury.

Aww....Bless.

That was Acton. And yes that was dangerous to move a potentially unconscious player like that.

Thought exactly the same, was surprised more wasn't made of it by the commentary team.

It was Acton on Bird, but you were close! Potentially very dangerous though, especially if the player on the ground had a neck/back injury.

Are you secretly Ben Flower?

Joking aside, this game is hard enough without crap like that from Acton, and I would expect
action to be taken especially given the current climate and attitude towards head injuries.

Despite the nailbiting finish - what a dreadful game; all the officials were terrible, and two sets of players who seem utterly unable to maintain any form of discipline.

Acton should be looking at a hefty ban - that was grubby in the extreme.

4 matches for acton. Totally uncalled for

Acton is scum. The Leigh Durians should be ashamed to have a player like that in their ranks. Otherwise everyone will start calling them loathsome lowly Leigh.

Have to concur there.

Leigh and Catalans are both very poor teams who know this and try and turn to thuggery/foul play to try and put the opposition off, Leigh especially don't seem to be able to control their discipline very well and Catalan won the game simply because they decided to try and play rugby for 15-20 mins.

Imagine you were a Leigh player. don't you think he did it because it looked like Greg Budgie 'ted' Ben Reynolds, but he got injured also !!
Don't give the fake frenchie 'Chorley Cake' ammunition. His (pretend) team are crap also.....

Seem to remember you got nilled at the LSV..Funny how you required a Leyth player to pull you out the quagmire..

As for the game 50/50 either way,even at half time.

Best of luck at the AJ..

Disgusting from Acton. If Barba is a 12 game ban for what he did, what does Acton get? IMO it's got to be up there with Ben Flower's. The potential injury to Bird makes what Acton did very, very serious. Hope they absolutely make an example of him.

He ted Ben Reynolds.....$hit happens !

I also thought Tony Gigot's antics were embarrassing, Acton should've ed him instead.

Enjoyable game

Leigh scored one of its tries after a player pushed Fouad Yaha off the ball and then stepped into touch as he retrieved the ball before passing the ball to Hopkins, who scored. That was an outrageously incompetent decision by the referee as well as by the touch judge who didn't see the foot in touch. Had Leigh Durians won, given that bogus try, then Catalans Dragons would have had every reason to feel that they had been robbed. Fortunately justice was done in the end, thanks to Julian Bousquet's last second try.

All 3 games were great to watch as a neutral. In different ways.leeds winning with many out and young full back playing a blinder.Smith going off was a big factor but leeds props were immense. Cas I enjoy watching but last 15 min they almost succumbed to the power game which hull do as well as any.leigh and cats was 13 tries I think? I also watched the lions this morning and enjoyed that whilst not being a big union fan. 4 good games in different ways imo

Myler was injured whilst making a poor attempt at a tackle, on a Leigh player - hardly an instance of the opposition cruelly injuring him. Sure, one or two of our players did some questionable things and, whilst we are on that subject, you may like to take a look at the two (very) late hits on Reynolds, after he had kicked the ball. Indisciplined as we may be, criticism from supporters of a team that is just as indisciplined, is rather ironic to put it mildly.

As for the referee, well I agree that Hopkins' first try was wrong, but what about the disallowed one for Tickle, in the second half - was that not a bad decision too?

Is the something in the air in the borough of Wigan, where violent acts of thuggery are out aside to, as you call, "$hit happens".

You are another one of gene capouze aliases & I claim my £5

5 Euro's surely?

I see sales of pitchforks and burning torches are healthy on RL fans this weekend

As regards Mr Hewer and some of his decisions , well nothing to see there , we've had more than our fair share of players being pushed off the ball costing us points without penalty and some real hypocrisy on here as well , I don't like the practice of hookers throwing the ball at opposition players but if your opponents are doing it and getting away with it , you might as well use the tactic as well

As for Mr Bird , without doubt the biggest sh*thouse in Brittish RL

To be fair, we were warned by the championship fans what we would get from Leigh, and have pretty much seen the same - a team that turn to thuggery to bully their way to beating part time teams, problem is they have now found at that once again when it comes to playing the bigger teams they are nowhere near good enough so now seem to have resorted to wanting to fight and get niggly in the hope the opposition will drop their guard.

Has Acton been yellow carded or suspended at least once a month this year? it seems it!!
And before Leythers bring up the 'we're all jealous' lines again, no we're not, you're bottom of the league !!!
