Yeah I agree , Dews were dishing it out and Ben Reynolds seemed to kop a lot,we don't seem to learn after the team warning gs though, Dews were provoking us at every opportunity and we reacted how they wanted, I thought Whiting had a decent game as well.

Granted that the penalties are warranted but, that said, you could penalise every PTB for offside, and many more for interfering. I thought the referee was on the verge of losing it, for most of the game, and duly did, with the brawl. He was close enough to see what happened in that brawl, and very nearly binned the wrong Leigh player. Earlier, following our team warning, Maitua lifted a Dewsbury player and, as the ref fumbled about for the yellow, Maitua put their guy back down on his feet! Fortunately for the ref, Hock then presumably said something out of turn, so he got the yellow instead!

Possession in our games this season, is being hugely influenced by penalties, which inevitably lead to scores. (i.e. our four tries in nine minutes)

Agreed Nozzy, can't believe the pies never gave him a chance....

Their loss

He's back where he belongs. Proper Leyther is Hoppy!

Ian when a car passes you on the M62 and all five of us give you a wave kindly wave back.

John,I must apologise for this,I do remember a car passing us on the M62 yesterday afternoon,and as you say that all waved,my Co-Pilot ,Roman Officer said it was Leythers waving,I thought we did wave back?Again I apologise,hope to see you soon.

As people have said Hopkins was excellent, also think Higson had a good game and I was very impressed by Reynolds. He was always there always trying to create something knowing he'd likely get a smack in the head after he'd passed the ball Dewsbury really seemed to have it in for him. Hope Hansen is OK, looked very bad but seems to be OK now according to twitter, hopefully won't be any lasting effects.
Agreed we need to stop conceding as many penalties but yet again we had a very poor ref, after the Hansen incident he seemed to lose the plot. Having a player in the sin bin for 3 very dubious penalties is almost comical, another ref who seemed to keep pulling us up for "high" shots cross the chest but allowed the opposition to smack our players around the head and a sin bin each side is a real pet hate of mine, can see the Dewsbury player who comes running in throwing punches, should be a red then that's it instead bottles it & sin bins one from each.

I know there were incidents aplenty, from both teams, but could someone please explain to me exactly what Paul Sykes was trying to achieve, with his "challenge" on Liam Kay, as Liam scored - just watch him on the highlights recording!

I have and tbh it didn't look too bad to me Alan

The offense happens in a split second just as the ball is grounded.The view is obscured by the post,but you can quite clearly see Mr Sykes leg and intent.

Absolutely no reason whatsoever, to go in feet first on someone who is touching down.

Imo had it been malicious it would have been an 8 point try. Look where the touch judge is. Bear in mind too the Leigh fans at that end cheered the try but did not have a go at the Dewsbury player.

Intent to prevent grounding.
