| I don't normally comment on referees either but he spoiled what could have been a classic. He was bloody appalling.
I feel sorry for our lads because they deserved better than that, but I still think we can do them in the Final if we get there (and I'd rather win that one than this one).

| Well,i hope everybody has a good whinge tonight,and then gets over it! we are in the same position ..one game of the final.
We didn't have the rub of the green to say the least,but we also didn't play as well in the second half,with some players non existent.
We have to get back to a positive mindset,this includes the players,fans and management,make sure there are NO EXCUSES next thursday.
The club as whole should move on from tomorrow and should only look forward to thursday,revenge is a dish best served cold.

i'll go along with a poor show from the ref but the comment about hitting him harder is not called for.....its one of the worst head highs i've ever seen......not seen it on tv yet like but it didnt look good

maybe you should have took more advantage of the 6 on the trot penalties in the 1st qtr an got a few more pts on board.....seems to me our half time team talk was a bit more constructive than yours......the ref was poor full stop....if you feel he helped us through then fair do's......whoever you get at home you should do em

She carries on through it all......
She's a Waterfall: |

| Leigh had a good 1st 30 mins and took advantage well of the period when Stokesy was handing Leigh the penalties. Then came the second half. The try called for obstruction looked harsh live without the befnefit of the telly. We all reckoned it was a bloody good try. The try pulled for a forrad pass I've seen given on so many other very similar occassions.
That said, on half time when Leigh scored my mate suggested that that would be the last Leigh try of the game and I said Leigh would tire in the second half.
Notwithstanding the referees performance, those two predictions were accurate and critical to the final result.
The final score flattered us. It was a niggly, oft bad tempered game which will see Leigh and Fev missing players for the final should Leigh get there.
Leigh played well and set off like a house on fire. i didn't think they'd keep that pace up for the full 80 - they didn't. But in the final I have a feeling we'll be missing 2 first choice props. That may well even up the score somewhat if yoy beat Sunday's winners

The weak conform, the strong survive.: |
|
| Agree the ref had a shocker, reffed it 1 eyed.
Gave everything to Leigh in the first 30 and then levelled it up in the second half.
As for the head high shot, it was disgraceful and malicious. The 'hit him harder' commenter needs to get a grip and have a word with himself.
On another note, good to see old friends again tonight and hope to share a pint in Warrington once you beat sheff or fax.

| The ref ruined a game that was turning in to absolute cracker,scoreline flattered Fev,they could have been down to 11 men,the trip and Dickens kicking Ostick in the head.I dont condone Henderson`s action`s but you could probably understand his frustration.
Even Noble and Henderson could not believe some of the desicions.

| At the end of the day, even with all the cheating from Smith and Stokesy, it was four tries to three. We did score again RFF. Stokes and Smith chose not to give them. Had you had had two tries disallowed like that at such a crucial stage, I do not think Georgie would have got out of Post Office Road alive. Put it this way, had he given them both, would you have felt badly done to? I think Leigh had a good first forty. That is why you only breached our line once in the first half, despite getting more pens than us in that period and we crossed for three. The game has gone now and we move on. However, I do feel that if Fev had been on the receiving end of what Leigh were tonight, their fans would not be highlighting tiredness. I tend to think they'd feel robbed, just as we do.

| The Ref gave Leigh a few penalties in the first 15 minutes, after that it was one way traffic. He gave one of the most one eyed performances I've ever seen. 2 good tries disallowed. On balance Fev probably deserved the win but the officials handed it to them.

Featherstone Rovers - Co-Operative Championship League Leaders and Champions 2011: |
|
| Definitely a game of two halves:
Leigh were awesome first half, we were poor. Stokes was garbage all game. I was fuming at half time and assumed he'd come on your bus.
Second half, we upped our game and Leigh tired, Stokes seemed to have come out wearing a blue and white vest.
In the end, we deserved our win, but the scoreline flattered us greatly.
Stokes should not be allowed to referee at this level again, he ruined what should have been a great game.
Some dirty stuff too, that will probably see us both depleted come the final, which I hope you get to.
