We were guilty of that on a good few occasions. I was stood towards the bottom of the slope for the last 10 minutes of the first half and we were offside on virtually every tackle. In fact, it probably contributed to so many tries being conceded in that spell because the lack of a proper line meant there was gaps all over the place.

was "that" pass forrad matt??? I was stood at the top end!

We had 8 players missing from our squad. Goulden, Taylor, Spencer, Nash, Laithwaite, Duffy, Pownall and Maden. They had 4 giants in their forwards who absolutely battered us. They are dark horses for Grand Final at end of season in my opinion.

Can't stand that ref. He was just smirking when he walked off at half time. How he awarded that last try in first half is beyond me when one of our players was taken out. Anyway our mistakes contributed to the loss again as with the Fev game. Still think Leigh have done extremely well with such a paper thin squad and no money.

it constantly annoys me when people just blame the ref for any defeat we may suffer, i did not see the ref wonder offisde, or knock on or do bad tackles at any stage of the game, i did see however players from leigh doing this, the crux of the matter is we even playing poorly could of won that game quite easily if it had not been for basic errors, i am sure our boys know they let themselves aswell as us down, and no excuses about injuries, apart from robson our 14 the rest could and have played previously for us, as i said this is rowleys biggest and toughest challenge as a coach, lets see how we as a club respond on thursday night, and of course i shall be at por to cheer our boys on.

I don't think that particular horse is that dark to be honest WYSIWYG!


His 'smirk' as you describe it was probably in response to the 2-3 Leigh fans who took it upon themselves to let him know the depth of their feelings at half time! To be honest, it made us smirk too!!!



As a neutral I believe he had an ok game. His missed some (let go, call it what you will), and pulled some - both way. There was an element of obstruction to Leigh's 2nd try I thought could have been pulled back but he let it go to the angst of some Batley fans - c'est la vie. At the end the score reflected the game - not the ref!!

Good post WOLRAB.

wind thi neck in WYSIWIG and stop looking for the confrontation for a minute and read my post again!

You called em "dark horses"! I say they are not that dark - e.g. greater favs for the top two than most people are giving them credit for!

Arrogant my botty! If you want a reference ask the Leigh fans who know me!

I really wouldn't give a toss if you bet on us or not - BUT - why won't we meet them in the play offs??

Roth Fev Fan Robin , is a great bloke , very fair in his views of Games ,maybe a bit bias when assessing his beloved Fev , but we are all like that , looking forward to seeing you on Thursday Robin in the Lagoon Bar .Hoping to give you a game , we need to get to Blackpool .

Bias?????? Me??????? How very dare you!!!!!!

Usually I'm a very cautious soul CHarlie, not prone to getting carried away. BUT:- given your injury/player availability situation, and watching the game yesterday, I'm feeling a little confident.
I hope that Daryl isn't feeling similar and is preppin the lads for what Leigh can really do!
Looking forrad to seeing you and the gang thursday owd cock!
Keep smiling

I think It's more disrespectful to call Batley dark horses. I tipped them to beat leigh if you remember Charlie because I rate JK as a coach. Batley are no mugs and will be in the mix right up to the end. Oh and I wish fellow Cappers would just apply a bit more caution as well its not time to start popping corks yet !.

I worry about a team when they can go from sleague team beaters and then get caned by fax at home.

I think we will be there or there abouts come the end but the fans and more importantly our team need to play every game from now to the end with same intensity we showed against CxS.

Exactly Cushy!!!!

You won't play them AT Batley in the play offs as Fev will finish top as the refs always let you get away with everything including offside, forward passes, flopping, not square at marker, cheap shots, constant obstruction to name a few. We would have stuffed you both times but for the ref!!!!!

And before you start scattering your exclamation marks all over the page remember the phrase - Tongue in cheek

Look forward to playing Fev and the ref at POR!!!!!!

If Batley win all their remaining games they will finish top and us 2nd. They are quite capable of that.
Regards the rules of the game - our side is just better at playing the margins better than our opposition - at the mo. You know full well that if Leigh were as good at that aspect of the game and were top of the league you'd lap it up.

See you Thursday!!!!!!!!!
