Agreed VL.

Quite Ian. If we were done 9 - 2 on the penalty count in the 2nd half,then something is just baffling here. We coasted to a 30 - 0 lead last week then the penalties came in abundance and the game went sour(and TBH our discipline has been good so far this season). If we have suddenly just become a terrible indiscipline team all of a sudden,then i'm not condoning or defending it,but i'm scratching mi yed as to why. I'm sure some of the pens are justified,but if there were 20 odd in the game today, summats not reet.

After an excellent first half, against the strong wind, we completely blew it, in the second half. With the (weather) advantage we hadf, the last thing we needed, was two in the bin, within five minutes. The stream of penalties we conceded, was suicidal and, on the rare occasions we got hold of the ball, we promptly coughed it up again. Two of Bradford's second half tries, came directly as a result of us losing the ball, firstly right on their line, and then 20 metres out. In each case, the player picking up the loose ball, scored.

No complaints - the better team over 80 minutes, were the deserved winners, yet I feel we can beat them.

Finally, could someone please advise me on the ruling about the player lying behind the ptb? We were constantly penalised for it, yet Bradford weren't. I completely fail to see how Adamson could clear the area, when he was out prone! This ruling really needs sorting. That said, we were completely the architects of our own downfall - and Bradford gained in confidence, with the glut of second half possession, and were good value for their win.

Bradford will not get an easier 40 minutes than that 2nd half, till they play Rochdale at Odsal.

Don't know who you're number 11 is but very good player carrys the ball well and great offloads

Toby Adamson. Signed him with his brother Luke, from Rochdale. I have also been impressed with him so far. He consistently does 80 minutes, and has probably been our (i.e. excluding D/R) outstanding player, to date.

Couldn't find it either , VL.

Speed essential 11. The play-the-ball must be performed as quickly as possible. Any player who intentionally delays the bringing of the ball into play shall be penalised.

There appeared to be a lot of subjectivity on the part of the ref. I know there is always a degree of interpretation on the ref's part, but those two clear examples on Sunday. (i.e. the injured Bradford lad pointed out by the Leigh players, and the ref rightly stopped the game. Then Adamson, who was also clearly injured, but penalised when he didn't roll away. He then required lengthy treatment before he could resume.) Like all other decisions, consistency is required.

I didn't go on Sunday however, once again we seem to have fallen foul of the officials! No doubt there were some puzzling decisions because Tom Grant always seems to conjure those up!
We have had four completely different teams over the past four years and, four different Coaches however, we still appear to be committing more offences than our opponents!

Both sides seemed to incur his wrath on Sunday but we seemed to take it in turns. To be fair both sides were standing offside all day and lying in the ruck or trying to milk a penalty at the PTB. He had a job on trying to keep the game flowing with that going on. There were some baffling decisions but you always get a couple.

There is a picture on the Leigh Facebook page of Jonny Pownall catching the Bradford penalty that he was binned for. Hes not even close to being in touch, you have to question what the linesman has seen?

No wonder Jonny was annoyed (I know he should have kept his mouth shut)

I have just captured the moment JP catches the ball here.
