No its the same level of incompetent reffing that we see all season in the championship,it just hurts that bit more when there is so much at stake..

I honestly thought you were gonna nick it,shame really would have been a good game fev -leigh

Cracking season though well done

Nowhere near as bad as the cheating last week. However, the game lasts 80 mins and with about 4-5 mins left it was 4 tries each and could have gone either way. Crucial calls went their way. They were hanging on. Don't think it was meant to be tonight. We botched several simple chances in the first half, that ultimately cost us. Sheffield are a good side and came here with a lot of confidence. Leigh seemed to lack composure in that first half. However, as I said, the game lasts 80 and had we been attacking their line with a minute to go, we could well have been in. Ifs and buts now, but we've had a great season anyway. Well done leigh !

The fog of war PNE unfortunately for leigh you have suffered from the reffing inconsistencies that we all come across,but like you say these are big games. I genuinely do feel for the leythers tonight. That aside Paul Rowley has got to be coach of the year surely.

I think you will have a big season next year.

You better believe it we're coming back twice as strong next season 2013 will be year of the Leythers

I said in the post above mate,I think you have had a belting season from where you were,I will put my hat on you being stronger next year. I fear only one other coach in this league mate and its Paul Rowley. He has made a silk purse out of a cows .

Well done

The sometimes puzzling decisions (I'm trying to be kind here) didn't exactly help us, especially late on, but we can't turn up for the last 20 minutes of a play-off game and expect to win it, and even more so against a side of Sheffield's quality. That said, it speaks volumes for this set of lads that they very nearly managed it.

The ref did play a part and its something perhaps the club might want to speak to Stuart Cummings about in the close season as the last two games have seen us hit at crucual times so it won't do any harm to find out what we are percieved to be doing wrong by Stuarts officials.
I'd say us blowing 3 certain tries in the first half was the actual reason we lost the game though coupled with too many wrong options taken at critical times and Sheffield doing the exact opposite.
That 2nd half ending is something to take into pre season training for next year and use as a building block in what is shaping up to look like a good competitive league next season.

Left attack first half cost us the game, Gardiner was shocking again. Could have been even at HT but I expected a big loss and came away thinking what if.........

Whoz tha talkin to fair lads

did you, sorry. Didn't see last years final, but next week's should be a lot better for you than 4-40.
Still think Fev will win, but you never know do you ?
