Apparently on his way to hospital in an ambulance. Hope he's OK

He was taken off the ball on at least 3 occasions prior to that.

He's a tough lad who plays a rough game so expect hime to be targeted, but fax tonight were nothing short of cowardly.

Referee and linesmen were an absolute disgrace.

He's a fractured skull on his way to hope hospital

It was late and from behind. Cowardly.

Sine Die for that late late attempt to bring real harm to Sam. No Im not over egging this it was a disgrace and has no place in RLF.

It was terrible. I don't mind hard aggressive rugby but that was anything but

Ref was a disgrace, linesman were worse than useless, they have a responsibility to protect players and they failed terribly tonight, nothing short of thugby from fax, they should be ashamed if they think that's how to play the game. I hope Sam is ok and that it's just a precaution.

Manning has plenty of form for deliberately trying to injure opponents. I remember him almost decapitating Keegan Hirst with a ridiculously high shot on his debut for us (Batley). The lad has a screw loose, and I'm not surprised to hear about this.

If that wasn't bad enough, once the brawl had stopped guess what he did, he ran in again and kicked it off!!

Hope he can find work at McDonalds. Pity really because I think he could be a decent rugby player if he ever tried it.

Shocked to hear about this,hope Slamming Sam recovers well and quick.
Spoke to the lad a year or 2 ago when he was rumoured to be signing for us,was always polite and answered me !

Peter.

Disgrace.
If they had turned up to play rugby, throw the ball about against a knackered Leigh team they would have won tonight, all they wanted to do was rough us up, which not only gave us pens, it fired us up too.
And now a lads in hospital with a fractured skull and bleeding in the brain.

You look at the side where all this happenec.the linesman looked like he was still in nappies.how can a young kid be let officiate on a game this big..yeah the ref was poor but the only time the linesman came on was the once sam did have a go back and to diisallow two of our tries

As already said if sam is as bad as it sounds(hopefully not) the guy should never be allowed on a rugby field again.if that happened in the street he would probably get a jail sentence.

Didn't go tonight so can't comment on the way we played but hope Barlow recovers quickly. And I hope that Harrison didn't set the players out to injure Leigh's players. Fair enough hit them hard and fair but not injure them
