Disallowed try was correct not so sure about the 2 man ball steal ,in most games they would have been penalised for it,in my opinion.Re the blunders that was a remark about most games this season

I agree the standard of refs is generally poor but Silverwood got all the big calls right yesterday.

Bradford blew it by going for the 2 points with a part time kicker

Technically Silverwood blundered by asking the video ref's opinion when he gave Bradford the penalty late on. That worked in favour of Bradford but we didn't hear anything from JamesLowes about that. It's difficult to take him seriously. He started moaning when Leigh beat Bradford and hasn't stopped since. I find it sad that nobody else can be found to join the England coaching set up. If he wants to know why Bradford lost yesterday he should take a look at their defence near their own line: woeful!

Lowes lost it in that interview, the pressure got to him. He failed to win the championship with Bradford despite his squad being installed as pre season favourites, only just coaching them to second and then failed to get them over the SL line in a one off game of RL.

He did not offer any alternative to the million pound game for a fairer system for Bradford to be promoted out of the Championship? Was he suggesting a one up, one down over 22 rounds which as we all know would have resulted in Leigh playing SL next season ? The guy is totally bonkers. If they have any chance of reaching SL next season, they need to get rid of him IMHO.

You're talking nonsense. The realistic task this year was about being in that game, there was little to be gained by 'winning the championship' go ask Leigh on that score. They completely imploded at the most important time in the season and they think they have a top coach in Rowley.

Sorry bully but your league position decided what fixtures you got in the 8's. Surely you would assume that the higher you finish the more favourable they should be. Lowes was an embarrassment yesterday. The only outcomes for your players was surely the prospect of a better standard of living or the same as this year, the funding to your club hasn't changed so if you now go PT that isn't anyone else's fault/decision but your own.

Well obviously it wasn't that favourable given Leigh topped the league but then finished bottom of the 8's and ended up with less funding than Fax and the Bulls. One thing Lowes did get right was getting his squad into the game that gave us a chance of SL.

Nobody actually ' Knows ' what is, isnt or was, will be the best position to finish in, you play to win all your games and finish as high up as you can, Jimmy despite anything he said after the 1 st game at Leigh wanted to finish top, if he didnt then he is a complete idiot

Next year nobody knows how strong any team will be, i'd expect it to be harder to buy a middle 8 team, so look forward to more battles, cant wait

I agree with you here.... Rowley showed his inexperience and coaching weaknesses. ... unmotivated players, no squad rotation and lack of a game plan in the big games.....

We looked like pub team, throwing the ball around on the 2nd tackle........ u need structure, a good defense and a good kicking game to survive in SL. Leigh had none, hopefully it changes next year.

But it was exciting, adventurous and at times exhilarating Rugby League. I enjoyed it. I will readilly admit it.

Unfortunately however at 24-6 up v HKR in the Super 8 first game match, it called for up your jumper time. To continue otherwise against the Wembley Challenge Cup finalists showed arrogance at worse,naive coaching at best.

I do like young Rowley as a coach but here's a thought. If he was coaching our 1982 championship winning side, he would probably have played Des Drummond as a Scrum half, who would no doubt have used his pace and scored 3 or 4 tries as a 7 against the likes of Mansfield Marksmen as well.

Have to laugh, Lowes' "We shouldn't have even been given the chance of promotion!" Rant was even better than his "Don't talk to me about stats!" and "Leigh are a dirty team of thugs!" Rants. Seems that whenever Bradford lose Lowes has to go on a mad rant blaming everyone else apart from himself. Can't think of anyone else in the game less gracious in defeat.

Really? Perhaps we need to look a little closer to home.
