Disgrace!! I know the ref lost complete control, but all through the game all he wanted to do was fight. He was just as bad at home v batley. He even tried to start a fight after the game when they where supposed to be shaking hands. Don't mind a bit of aggression, but he is just a thug.

Maybe I missed something from North Stand, but from what I saw, there was only one house throughout that match. And that was that little short pie eater Ainscough! Wish someone would have sparked him

He was aswell, not really concerned about that, that's whitehavens issue.

Thought Barlow has had three good games. Alright, he's rather 'aggressive' and he deserved the yellow card, but it's a change to see our pack doing the 'bullying'.

In my opinion its good to have an enforcer in the team. Someone who you know is always gonna have his teammates back, when it goes off and starts getting a bit tasty. That way no one is gonna end up being bullied out of the game

There is a difference. Spencer, Emmitt and Wilkes could all do a job. He was trying to fight all game. Not knocking his performance, he did play well. In closer games against better teams it will cost us.

Better teams should know better. That housing can cost you the game. At least its good to know that if it comes down to it, our boys are willing to go toe-to-toe. Not curl up in a ball and go missing for the rest of game.
Plus it gets all the crowd fired up too!

Barlows been outstanding, and was so today. Nobody will bully that pack.

I think our pack will dominate and does so. He has been good, just surprised that we seem to be happy with him but not with whitehaven's winger who was playing the same but couldn't back it up like Sam could!

We bullied their pack today and Sam was the leader. Like it or not, but to be successful this year we will have to have a pack that is tough. Seems we have that and Sam is the leader of the pack. By the end of the season he will be the best 13 in the league if he's not already. Well done Sam keep it up!

Sam has been outstanding in the first three games Runs the ball well ,great at unloading in the tackle ,aggressive in the tackle ,and a real threat great to see him in a Centurions shirt

I thought he had an excellent game , as did everyone. Not a facet of a Leigh team generally but our defence on our own line was superb.
Liam Kay must be up for Try of the day.

Double post

I had the Privilige of sitting on Tony Cottrells table in the Touchdown Club this afternoon , and he spoke so well , but told a few stories of his exploits , especially the Steve Halliwell incident at Saints , very amusing , Sam is just a big no nonsense Enforcer nobody will boss our pack , I know PR rates him very highly .

Also as Allan Rowley said it was like a Pennington School reunion today "Who said Pennington couldn't play "? That was our team song , happy days great memories , good to see you again Tony .He even remembered the Boxing match in the Hall .

When he sticks to rugby he is excellent. Strong tackler, runs in well, not a massive metre maker, but similar to Ricky bibey in that he usually get a quick play the ball setting up the next play the ball, good pair of hands, and can pick a pass. He seems a natural 13. Just think that when he decides to be a thug, he ruins it.
