Theres an awful lot of baggage amongst the championship that isnt fair airing on any forum but is the catalyst for most on field violence vs Batley, Fax and Fev. What we need are strong referees and when weve had those in GF's, Leeds in the cup last year and Salford this year, no punch ups just quick open RL.

As for cheap shots, i could make a DVD from last year alone of the Fev player Jason Crookes who twice nearly took Sam Barlows head off once in the GF at Leeds.

As many 'neutral' fans have said shock horror opposition dont like us when weve won 24 on the trot...

roll on sunday

Although not a fan of Beaumont I quite like the way Leigh are playing ATM, they have the best coach outside SL and their style of play is like a breath of fresh air to the game as other championship teams look predicably boring. I would love to see them in SL next year.

Except for the punch-up when Sarsfield had two digs at JP while he was on the floor you mean?

handbags... ask JP he will tell you the same

Very true. It's that well known law in rugby league, and in fact any sport - Dirty play can only ever be done by opponents of the team that the onlooker supports.

Well, another game involving Leigh...

Coincidence. Absolute coincidence. Leigh are a bunch of angels who are in no way coached to goad the opposition out of their game by fair means or foul.

Cant wait to see them get ed in the middle eights. Horrible s

im sorry for all the good things they do, it's hard to like leigh isn't it?
although fev are just as bad today, every leigh game i've seen in the last 2 years has involved mass brawls and thuggish behaviour!

The behaviour of both sides is akin to a pack of wild rabid animals.

No. One side is allowed to continually cheat through holding down, interference and cheap digs. This usually has the effect of frustrating the other team.

If the refs penalised these things then the fights wouldn't happen.

It's getting ridiculous and there is one constant factor in these games.

It's awful isn't it Leigh are a good side but they are just a disgusting team

I wouldn't go as far as calling them disgusting as what they're doing isn't THAT bad. But it's continuous and goes unpunished by the refs. Leigh should've been penalised far more than they have in this game and had several players sin binned.

What a Load of rubbish! Every week teams come too slow the rucks down and niggle too get one of our lads off! This is the only way teams can compete! Just because The lads stick up for themselves! I think the reason we are so disliked is that we might shake a few things up next year!

It's everyone else that's the problem not Leigh eh?

So did Leeds do the same last year? Was slowing the ruck and niggle the only way Leeds could compete with the mighty Leigh?

There's one constant factor in these games...
