i dont get what you are saying? what was it not?....i said it was one of the worst 'i've' ever seen.....if other people dont think it was than fair do's

Agree the ref had a shocker, reffed it 1 eyed.

Gave everything to Leigh in the first 30 and then levelled it up in the second half.

As for the head high shot, it was disgraceful and malicious. The 'hit him harder' commenter needs to get a grip and have a word with himself.

On another note, good to see old friends again tonight and hope to share a pint in Warrington once you beat sheff or fax.

The ref ruined a game that was turning in to absolute cracker,scoreline flattered Fev,they could have been down to 11 men,the trip and Dickens kicking Ostick in the head.I dont condone Henderson`s action`s but you could probably understand his frustration.
Even Noble and Henderson could not believe some of the desicions.

At the end of the day, even with all the cheating from Smith and Stokesy, it was four tries to three. We did score again RFF. Stokes and Smith chose not to give them. Had you had had two tries disallowed like that at such a crucial stage, I do not think Georgie would have got out of Post Office Road alive. Put it this way, had he given them both, would you have felt badly done to? I think Leigh had a good first forty. That is why you only breached our line once in the first half, despite getting more pens than us in that period and we crossed for three. The game has gone now and we move on. However, I do feel that if Fev had been on the receiving end of what Leigh were tonight, their fans would not be highlighting tiredness. I tend to think they'd feel robbed, just as we do.

The Ref gave Leigh a few penalties in the first 15 minutes, after that it was one way traffic. He gave one of the most one eyed performances I've ever seen. 2 good tries disallowed. On balance Fev probably deserved the win but the officials handed it to them.

The match changed when Mr Powell had a go at the ref in the tunnel at half times

We had a phone call from my nephew who said that PowelL was having a right go at him

Definitely a game of two halves:

Leigh were awesome first half, we were poor. Stokes was garbage all game. I was fuming at half time and assumed he'd come on your bus.

Second half, we upped our game and Leigh tired, Stokes seemed to have come out wearing a blue and white vest.

In the end, we deserved our win, but the scoreline flattered us greatly.

Stokes should not be allowed to referee at this level again, he ruined what should have been a great game.

Some dirty stuff too, that will probably see us both depleted come the final, which I hope you get to.

like someone said when the commentary team keep saying that was harsh,whys that not a knock on,thats a try for me the player wouldnt have got within 10 metres of riddys break.that was a flat pass for me henderson said.ref was deffo got at by powell and to let him be swayed to ref the second half like that he should never be allowed near such an important game again.
for gods sake people have travelled a long way and spent good money to watch a referee (use that word loosly)totally spoil a game that was gonna be a blinder.is it any wonder that some fans dont return when you see officiating like that.

I think if you watch the game back, you'll find all the talk of Leigh getting everything for the first forty, is a complete exaggeration. Leigh got several penalties in the first fifteen or twenty mins. For the remaining sixty mins he absolutely caned Leigh on the pens and ruled out two tries at a crucial time. Most of the top six sides in the championship would never lose a match all season with reffing like you got tonight.

I thought the game tonight was very poor. We made far too many mistakes and I thought Leigh came with a game plan that almost worked. The ref in my opinion was poor for both sides but without seeing the game again we had some important decisions that went our way at crucial times.

The most disapointing thing for me was watching the Leigh number 3 asking the ref to put the punch up on report in order to get our players into trouble. It's the kind of thing a football player would do, very poor and not required in my opinion.

dont you mean that someone has put a contract out on him or is that wishfull thinking i suppose

I'm with you underthesticks. The ref gave us plenty for 15 minutes and then redressed the balance for the remainder of the half hence Fev being in our half for most of the half.

We should have scored early in 2nd half but Ridy decided not to pass for some reason and then the ref went into "I hate Leigh" mode again. I can't recall seeing a refereeing performance that one sided since Mr Whitelamb against Sheffield at HP many years ago. It was blatently in favour of Featherstone.

Of course we came with a game plan but the usual Fev plan of lying on and wrestling in the tackle went unpunished as always. On a flat track with a ref who wants to see quick play the balls I think we'd win with our best team.

We did put down some good chances and gifted them two tries as well which was disappointing.

The ref has had better games, he made a few mistakes as they all do but he was not responsible for the loss. The responsibility for the loss rests with whoever decided to take on Featherstone up the middle AGAIN. It never works.
