Disgraceful Dewsbury fans shouting they hoped Brierley was dead when he was down .
We're also the dirtest team in the league a team of thugs and Jamie Acton the worst of the lot
Leigh have always been the same !!!!!
Their fan s were abusing our players at the end too
PMSL at the sour grapes

In a good game the ref is never noticed, he was noticed a great deal today
The RFL should have a long hard look at what fans pay money to see and ensure the refs understand this is an entertainment business

I was at the match today without a shadow of a doubt Dave Merrick is the worst referee I have ever seen bloody disgraceful ,He wouldn't have to referee an under sevens match, Dave Merrick we'd have been better off with John Merrick (The Elephant Man ) a026.gif

1st half we gave away too many pens, too many forward passes and too many knockons. Despite that we defended well and only conceded off a race away interception and a penalty. Add to that a ridiculously strong wind going straight into our faces and I was extremely confident of a win going into half time at just 8 - 0 down. Then that idiot flattened Brierley and got sent off and I was even more confident.

2nd half with the strong wind behind us we picked it up a gear and destroyed them at times. Man extra helped but we were always going to win that 2nd half IMO.

Penky was MOM for me and Hopkins not far behind him. Ref was very poor but we also gave away too many high shots.

Did you hear the Leigh Team singing, banging and celebrating in the background?
Sounded like they are 'ALL IN IT TOGETHER' and enjoying the ride too. Well done Leythers eusa_clap.gif eusa_clap.gif Enjoy icon_thumb.gif

It will be interesting to see what Adam Higson really did to the Dewsbury player, but what I will say is the ref was in line with play and watching when the Dewsbury player blatantly lead with his elbow and flattened Adam. I have to also say that we have to be a bit more savvy with the Ref. It looked to me like he was getting his own back with some of the penalties for what had been going on or said.

Before Glenn Morrison mouths off about the underhand tactics of the opposition, and the weakness of the officials, I would like him to answer one question. Whose idea was it to target Ryan Brierley? Before the red card incident, Brierley had been decked three times, OFF the ball. Did the players take it upon themselves to do this, or was it on the coach's instructions?

That said, our discipline leaves much to be desired. We actually played the last few minutes with TEN men on the pitch, after Armstrong went off injured, after we had used up our replacements and Kurt Haggerty and Jamie Acton were sin-binned. Acton seems to be looking for trouble at the slightest opportunity and it really is a most unedifying spectacle seeing his own players constantly restraining him! McNally seems to be protesting every decision and even if the ref is wrong, he definitely won't change his mind as a result of Gregg's pleadings.

In my opinion, the coach really does need to get a grip on discipline, before it costs us, big time.

Jamie patted a couple of their players on the head hardly thuggish and ran in at the end to be dragged away by Bob , didn't see him do much wrong really .

I agree with DJ. Acton was involved in a lot but he never actually threw a punch, even after Haggerty took Kes's head off. I kept thinking he was going to boil over but although he put himself about he didn't actually do much wrong IMO.

Well I agree with Alan.

We are going well but sometimes we look like we want to show the other team who is boss in the fisticuffs department.

The ref should have sorted out the niggling by both sides early doors but despite the fact he was whistle happy he did not.

The wind was very strong and obviously impacted on the game and it was a cold wind too.

Well we won but it was hardly a game you would like to watch again.

There is no doubt the high tackle on Brierley just on HT was a well deserved sending off but our team should know talking back to refs can be costly.

Anyone who was in the main stand would have seen the incident that was out on report re AJ I didn't see him do much wrong but was too far away to be sure

Dews fans are a Disgrace , the way they abused our players all through the game especially Jamie Acton was terrible , young Ryan was targeted at every chance , I didn't see him get clobbered just before half time , but obviously the touch judge did , for him to get a player sent off .The Dews fans were making all sorts of gestures to our players , I don't know how Jamie Acton kept his cool , the Stewards at the end of the game were having a go at the Dews fans , the game was a very good game , Dews played well and did deserve a Bonus Point ,in the first half we played uphill and into a strong wind , but Charlie knew , it would all end up in a Leythers win .Happy Days , even Fax lost icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif .

We need players like Acton. They are the enforcers. It's the big Leigh forwards who are laying the platform for our backs to win these games. Acton is another Tim Street. A real crowd pleaser and fires the rest of the team up. Well done Jamie Acton.

Agreed - providing he channels his enthusiasm/skills. He won't be much good to us, if he's off the pitch. Like I say, we finished the game with ten men. Even 'Fax may have been able to take advantage of that! icon_wink.gif

Apparently Brierley is a cheating so and so and we only won because we weren't playing a full team....obviously forgetting our sin bins! Merrick had a nightmare when Acton was yellow carded, not a clue how Dewsbury's number two avoided punishment for starting two fights in the same set of six that led up to it. Had the game carried on for another 5 minutes then it would have absolutely erupted.
