I have already said, only one of our tries should have stood, any of the fev fans posting on here who've watched it again will know that duffy passed the ball whilst stood on the line, whilst gardner caught it whilst stood behind it, tho only way it could have been forward was if gardners arms are 3.5M long. I thought briscoes try was forward TBH though, and i also thought dickens had a little fumble with the egg before he picked it up. In short, owt that could go wrong did, we played unintelligently at the ruck and fev were ruthless with their opportunities. Would i be confident of beating fev on a flat pitch at the halliwell jones just 6-7 miles from leigh? We knew what we were getting with stokes, and i've said it before, playing the ref is just as important as playing your opponents, fev always do it well, dickens, kain, finn always having a little chat. We haven't had that sort of nouse since rowley was playing!

Lets celebrate a top class display - pity it didn't last 80 mins, but with 2 tries allowed and a fair penalty count, it coulda done. (Parker and Hoppy would have made a difference as these Yorkshire packs are full of "thugs".)
Here's a thought: Riddy for England Knights??? Classiest player on field by miles. Kain usually plays well against us, but rubbish last night. Most of the top 6s are overseas anyway - Hohaia,Finch, Green,Rangi and even Briers is supposedly Welsh.

Remind me again owd cock. Which team had a player sent from the field????

priceless!

Lets ask some opinions then:

1) Littler interception: Offside?

Not a chance it was offside. If I remember correctly, this one was potentially a -12 turnaround. We could have scored 6, instead Fev got the ball back on our line and scored 6.

2) Disallowed try: Obstruction?

More difficult, but in my opinion the defender was not going to be even close to affecting play.

3) Disallowed try: forward pass?

Not in a million years. Not from any angle did it look forward.


Take a try away from Fev and add another 2 or 3 tries for Leigh and this game looks very different.

So lets forget all the niggly stuff we were done for, and lets just look at those 3 key decisions that went against Leigh. Is there anyone out there who can genuinely say that no.1 and no.3 were the right decisions?

Hope he never steps foot into our ground again ! incompetent to say the least ,SL could be getting a mighty fine ref if he goes full time please

I can asure you Georgie boy has recently gone full time

just get over it leythers and move on, the phrase sore losers springs to mind! im sure you can still reach the final cos your a quality side and i really hope you do.

fev were e last nite in the first half but we upped our game in the second and ran out worthy winners, we only needed a good 40 mins to get the job done
if fev want to win the grand final then were gonna have to produce the goods for the full 80 and im sure if we do nobody will touch us
leigh played well last nite but they set off like a house on fire and the forwards were knackered by half time, fevs fitness and forwards took over in the second half and the leigh lads were out on their feet and could'nt stop the momentum.

good luck leythers and hope ya make it to warrington!

If fev fans want us to move on,get over it or stop being sore about it, then perhaps it would help if you lot stop coming on here talking rubbish all day about it

I did think the 2 tries disallowed where ok and might have made the difference, but we would never know if you would have won.Seemed like Fev had the advantage going down the slope though, and if your team are good enough and resilent you will make the final.But i could not believe Nobby was defending that late tackle from Henderson.It was a shocking arm that took his head off, and it did make me laugh though, as he flew in like a steam train.

www.featherstonerovers.net/article.php?id=9346 Discuss Actually only shows the forward pass 'try' (clearly, ball passed well short of line, caught on line!), also shows just how dirty Henderson was.

Thanks for those. They are good quality highlights and further underline everything the Leythers and many neutrals have both said and alluded to. The pass was a beauty from Riddy. The officials were just not having us win on the night for some reason. Extremely disappointing( maybe an understatement ), but not entirely surprising these days in RL. The sport is sadly becoming more and more pathetic by the day.

Thanks for that.

Seems the commentator going of his commentary thought there was nothing wrong with both Leighs' disallowed tries.

Henderson's tackle was clearly an attempt at a ball steal he just got the timing wrong.

Shame the loose ball Littler picked up when in the clear isn't featured.
