Owned hey ?
Let's be frank here. If ever Leigh were gonna get beat so far this season it was this game. Then Sam Barlow steps up, sets up two tries and tackles everything that moves, for a MOM performance. He did this knowing that it would mean he would be the target of more late hits and niggle because of that. A lesser man would have stepped back to save himself some pain but not Sam. He was so good that instead of playing the expansive running rugby that would have beaten Leigh, fax lost there focus and started to target him. They only managed to stop him by straight up cowardly assault.
Sam was so good that your whole team forgot to play rugby, meaning you lost a season defining game.
I'd say the only "owning" (hate that phrase by the way) here was done by Big Sam. He owned the game, and the whole Halifax team
