Chissy not a bad observation.

| Quote: Centurino "As a player especially, it must drain every ounce of positive energy when not only are you facing a team riding high on confidence, but you're also playing the ref. It's self-evident that The RFL want Hull KR back in SL as fast as possible as a replacement for Leigh. Many events in history suggest everything is done to prevent Leigh and other non-elite clubs getting into SL. It was only through large investment that it was possible last year for Leigh. If the RL had a brain they'd increase the SL to 14 teams ASAP, but that's for another day.
Keep speaking out Derek please as the game will continue to decline if you and Marwan stop, and ultimately when the fans get a win/lose deal, they quickly get fed up and stop paying with their hard earned cash. I believe Derek is right in that RL is simple and that's why the fans love it - the speed, the fluency - add your own superlatives here. But when the refs get in the way, the entertainment deteriorates rapidly, with financial repercussions!
On a positive, to concede only 10 points in the second half - and for a period with 12 players - was a superb effort.
Chin up and cheer up! Enjoy your week.'"
Centurion, you are right it was a good defensive second half,I was expecting Cas to put 50 or 60 on us, with the guys in the stand injured ,once they return things will improve , I'm confident we will be OK in the middle 8s, but this Refs hate us syndrome has to go . |

I must have missed the dummy spits and accompanying threads after those games you won last year then...

reffy, genuine question. If you are the only marker at ptb, can you still be penalized for not standing square? |

Wouldn't say the following was that bad - lower than a few other games where we've taken 3-4k away however you only have to look at the average attendances to shut down that argument (for instance why was one stand completely closed and the other 2 stands barely full - you're the ones at home not us?) - will leave it at that as nobody can really bang on about attendances, they're all pretty shocking these days.
Also not everyone has bank holidays off work and those that do might go away for a long weekend / decide to stay closer to home, go out in the morning and watch the game later in the evening.
In terms of the other 'fan' I don't believe you'll be in the championship next season, you look good enough to be able to go through the middle 8's and then focus on rebuilding for next year.
Enjoy the rest of the season.

I actually thought Dereks main gripe was aimed at the inconsistency/standard of refereeing in SL right across the board as opposed to just 80 mins v Castleford.
Just as a side note, many say the number 1 referee is Phil Bentham, anyone know how many times he has refereed Leigh in SL this season?

Thought you were badly done to when the ref sent it up as a no try,when the camera clearly showed it was down, not sure if it was Acton or Patterson she!!te decision, probably wouldn't have helped but from our experiences it does leave you a touch bitter and frustrated. |

Is he allowed to being a Leyther himself? |

First accept sadness. Realise that without losing 70% of the time, winning wouldn't be such a relief.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_32990.jpg |

I don’t think it was a wise move from Derek Beaumont to publicly criticise the standard of referees. I can understand the pressure he’s under but from what I have witnessed from the past outspoken views of our owner it will only make things much worse for Leigh. DB would have been better served taking a few deep breaths, having a large glass of wine and airing his views through the right channels. The RFL don’t react very well to public criticism and if you kick one of them they all limp. I can understand a fine may be irrelevant to him but the payback will much more punishing. Expect a few more of your key players come the 8's to be cited for visits to Red Hall.
The best thing he could do is issue a public apology to the referee and the RFL saying his views were influenced by the pressure he’s under and having watched the game back on video his comments were harsh. I doubt he’ll even consider it for a second but I think it would be better for your clubs SL survival hopes if he did.
