Kear was wrong, Brown clearly jumps from INSIDE the field of play, catches the ball and lands in the touch in goal area, drop out was the right call, also the so called pro foul on Potts? do people mean the one that happened 2 minutes before the game ended when batley still had no chance of winning? Black clearly doesn't clear the ruck after the tackle and a quick play the ball COULD have resulted in a try for Leigh again correct call from The officials, I questioned the 40/20 from Riddy in the first half that the ref didn't give to Leigh but on watching the DVD Riddy's foot was on the line, which if my memory is correct is deemed to be OVER therefore a correct call from the officials.
Hirst made a deliberate attack to the head in fact his feet left the ground when he made contact.

Thought Batley were a tough set with dangerous halves, with a gameplan to slow down the game when defending and speed things up when attacking - they got away with this for 60 mins of the 80.
Thought not selecting Nicho was a mistake, we needed to get pace on the game and Brierley is a FB not a 7 mom McNally/Littler for me.
Ref, although allowing the slow ptb, got most calls right, Brown was in front of us and clearely took off in play to catch the ball in goal, Black did brilliantly well to save the try but knew what he was doing and deserved the SB, although it looked like we had to remind the ref to do it.
The attack to Parkers head looked a shocker live, and if Parker had simply fallen down he would have got a red imo, but didn't the same lad do the same to Gardner a few minutes earlier?
Another win but we need to turn position into points earlier when we play Fev if we want to win.

Another good win well done to the lads and also Paul Rowley and the background team, we’re getting a good habit of not letting teams score in the second half which says to me the coaching staff are doing a great job at half time.

For me MoM was Gardner. That said ‘Bob’ made the point of saying "Thought these rugby players were hard, you call me for rolling over after a tap on the shins!”

Thought the Sin binning was harsh, you’d get away with that in most games.

Stick with Brierley coming off the bench and making an impact.

Well done to the Batley fans enjoyed the chat.

once again a disjointed first half, followed by much improved 2nd, who the hell selected brierley as mom, i'm partially sighted, but who ever picked it must have worse eyes than me, i hope duffy is back soon, i have called for ryan to start, but i like to admit when i am wrong, and he should revert to the bench and make the impact he has done all year. for me gardner was massive for us, and that was with a smack to head and leg, but all in all a good win, but we tough games coming up, fev home and away and batley again we have to start better in games, cant afford to play well for just 40 mins.

I don’t actually think we have played badly in the first halves, I think we have battled hard against good teams, re-organised well at half time and that plus our fitness seems to eventually wear the opposition out and we get the result.

Well done to the Batley fans enjoyed the chat. There was a bunch of spotty faced obnoxious youths from Batley in the north stand who made complete idiots of themselves by constantly banging on the back of the stand and continually shouting obscenities and spitting, and when approaced by a Steward the leader of the group the spottiest and most obnoxious of the group ,then spent ten minutes shoving his face in the stewards face and arguing the toss with him, unfortunately the steward isn't allowed to manhandle him and so He got away with it. let's hope we never see these particular so called Batley fans again at our ground.

Why doesn't Riddy stake one step back - against Sheffield he did a 40/20 but the video ref quite rightly ruled it out as he had a toe on the line. Not too long after he made another attempt (didn't make touch on that occassion) but his foot was on the line again.

I would not argue with the positive impact Gardener and Littler had on the match but for me anyone who selects a M.O.M award really needs to take a closer look at Steve Maden.

This guy was immense all afternoon and relieved a helluva lot of pressure from the forwards on numerous occasions. In fact given his final try of the game in which Maden started 90 yards from his own line, clinched it for him as my personal M.O.M.

On a seperate issue with regards to the referee, I thought we were unlucky not to be awarded an '8 pointer' when Littler scored. After touching down, Littler's first job was to re-attach his head that had almost been knocked clean off during the act of scoring.

Ryan has commented on Twitter that he was " embarrassed " to get MOM ,said there were 16 lads before him

Fully agree Steve Maden has been great all year and long may his excellent form continue.
Regards Matt Gardner, what a good centre he`s proved to be.Was n`t impressed when he played against us last season but I`ll but that down to being surrounded by a crap coach and players.He`s proved to be more than a useful replacement for Mick Nanyn.

Maden use to aggravate me to hell giving away daft penalties, often when he had the ball , but this last couple of years he’s cut that out and become a top player for us, like yesterday always high up on my ‘he had a good game list’.

And I thought he had suffered a terrible injury when he screamed out in agony in the tackle in the 2nd half.

I have to the atmosphere was great yesterday boy what a difference a few hundred people more make to the experience. Gardner was immense for us again & was the man of the match IMO this guy's a beast. Betts should of kept him for at least their opening SL season as squad player but WTF does he know I was so pleased with Mado getting his try which is deserving with how much work he gets through he's like having an extra forward on the field. 2010 & prior I thought Madden was biz but 2011 & on he's solid & consistent he's the Tommy Goulden of wingers
