I was 20 Mtrs away from hendos "ball steal" I hope the pr*cck gets a pounding next time at POR.

Looked bad in real time tbh.

What did you think of the incident when Ostick got kicked in the head ? Similar position to the high tackle incident Cush ?

Said straight away to the bloke stood next to me when Hendo hit him......."Red card and wont see him again this season".

It was a shocker BUT IMO it was just missed timed and trying to get the Fev player to drop the ball.......it was a bad hit though.

Re the obstruction

The video ref Smith clearly said that the Leigh player had stepped across into his path, which was complete bow locks. He planted a foot down as the Fev player was about to run into him, in no way could you say that he stepped across.

The Fev player played for it.

The Leigh Man has a right to run his line, and in no way did he deviate to block the Fev player. The Fev player was appealling the second he touched him because he knew he made the wrong read.

Let it be though. We need a win on Thursday. I watched the game on my laptop and was encouraged by the determination of the lads, and the way we cut Fev up at times.

PO road is a shocking ground to play on, and we cannot play with the elements at all.

On a wide open pitch on the HJ, Fev are there for the taking.

I really do fear Sheffield again though !

Agree with Snowy.........Fev are very beatable on a wide flat pitch, they know how to play their pitch to perfection and good luck to em.
I watched the 1st half last night and didnt see Powell speak to the ref in the tunnel at HT so dont know if they show`d owt later on yet. Littler was never offside with the interception and as Snowy said the obstruction was a joke for McNallys disallowed try (watched about 10mins of 2nd half also).

Will comment on rest later after watched it.

It doesn't show alll of it be interesting to see the full DVD
Some of then pens were unbelievable

Well yes Jay we are. Batley, Sheffield and Fax will attest to that this season. However, so far at least, Leigh can't!


Just for info Jay, Fev's pitch is the maximum width allowed by the RFL. Well it was until we were asked to reduce the width by 0.62m to comply with regulations!

No issues with the Width Robin. I was referring to that bloody slope ! I have not got good memories of PO road as it finished me off nearly 20 years ago. That slope IS an 18 point slope and Fev will use it uphill and downhill to perfection. You need a bloody gas mask playing up it ! Nice club house though !

I wouldn't blame playing at Fev. We are a much better team away from home over the past few years.

FWIW I do think some of the calls were harsh on Leigh.. Over the 80 Fev were the best team, but only by one score.

just watched the game in full and used the pause button to great effect.
The try that was disallowed for obstruction should have stood, played it back several times and can't see an issue.
The forward pass was forward but the camera angle might not have helped and in SL it would have been allowed to stand probably
Henderson wasn't going to dislodge the ball he was clearly going for the head and should get a hefty ban.
The stamp on our player was also deliberate and should be looked at in addition to our players who are on report.
Overall a niggly game but both teams can point to incidents that went against them. I think the standard of referees needs serious attention. Perhaps when the Bulls find their feet they should pay the RFL back and the money can be invested in the officials.
I really hope you can get to the final as it was a good atmosphere and you have built a decent team this season in difficult circumstances. Oh and finally Littler crossing his arms asking the referee to put a player on report is like a footballer waving an imaginary yellow or red card at a referee,not something we want to see in our game. Having a word with a ref is one thing but that isn't what rugby players should do
