Agreed. It was our second home game on the trot that the referee performed comendably. All the major calls where called correctly imo both games. The only wrong call was Smith with his no try decision for Leeds Keinhorst, subsequently and rightly over ruled.

Hilton Park Ball Boy can you please instruct the LSV Ball Boy to get the bloody ball back on to the field PDQ when we hit a 40/20 and ready to go with a quick tap.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for your knowledgable contribution Mr Purfect. I agree with you 100%.
I watched Hull v Catalans in an attritional and at times dirty arm wrestle with forearms and elbows fully utilised. What a turn off.
This isn't entertainment or what rugby league fans pay their hard earned cash to see.
We just have to hope the teams that are successful are those who entertain - hopefully Leigh, given time, will be in that group.

Duly noted. Wouldn't have happened in my day. We used to try and hit the linos when kicking the ball back into play after conversions though.

Although Ben Thaler was probably right in his interpretation of the offences he saw Leigh commit during the Saints game, but what upset many of us in the North Stand was that he didn't penalise Saints anywhere near as much regarding like for like offences, such as holding down too long in the tackle, or not standing square at the PTB. Thaler seemed to spend too much time listening to what some of the senior Saints players thought, in particular Jon Wilkin. I think that Thaler is one of our best refs but he didn't do well the other night.

Nail on head. Thaler got every one of our penaltys correct, he just didn't penalise the opposition for the same offences

Good result this weekend. Now back it up next week.

Referees can give Penalties whenever they choose, its all about interpretation! McShane's spear on Hock was penalised by Hick and McShane was later suspended for the offence which, aided Warrington not Leigh! The same Ref decides to sin bin a Catalan player against Hull for the same offence! where's the consistency there?
Incidently, for those of you in North Stand, Saints were offside all the match and smothered us and all this was unpunished by Thaler

I'm afraid he is Mr C.
