As I say, you Leigh fans have a great attitude to referees considering the treatment you get from them. The fact that you say they only wind you up on occasion, further emphasises just how tolerant you are. I genuinely do think the way you seem to view things as Leigh supporters, is for the best. If you did not give them the benefit of the doubt, you would surely go mad watching Leigh. The old cliche that refereeing is hard, is definitely true. As I have said on here many times before, nobody expects them to get everything right. However, the refereeing I have witnessed in a lot of matches involving Leigh, beggars belief. At Fev, in the NRC, most fair minded fans would not have minded if Mr.Child had missed the odd thing etc, but the whole tone of that performance, was unacceptable and I must say that it is far more often than just during the odd game that Leigh are on the wrong end of decisions. If it was very rare, then these things would probably even up, but they never seem to with you lot. However, the attitude most of you share is definitely for the best. You have probably become immune to refs over the years. Just as well really.

Agreed but we need to stop giving daft penalties away and letting the oposition get easy yards, the majority of penalties conceded this year have been for technical offencies not foul play

FWIW I rate Mr Thomason. Controls the game nicely and always seems fair. Of course he makes mistakes but there are far worse refs than him around.

Reffed us in Toulouse & we won the penalty count, away, for the only time so far this season. Just as well, given the score! He seemed very efficient, without the dramatics of others!

Always earns brownie points for buying ale on RFL expenses in the Melting Pot after the game
