| Leigh v Fev was absolute disgrace. Both clubs should be fined and docked 4 or more points each. Won't happen though.

| I'm glad you asked Micky.Cos I don't have clue what he's on about.Fev came with a tactic as most do these days.Fev lost the game and also took their tactics home with them,no doubt to bring them back when we meet again.

| Leigh & Fev, what was it - 8 stoppages for players running in to push each other? Ridiculous. I was hoping it would be a good game to finish the weekend and it was dull. Unless you like handbags.
Ref should have binned Hock for the first event and maybe a game would have happened. As it was, everyone decided they needed to show they weren't intimidated and it degenerated.

| I watched the Leigh & Fev game on TV. It was really tedious with all the stoppages. I don't mind a bit of a dust up, now and then, but I could not be bothered with it. I turned it over well before the end and watched the cricket. .
Gareth Hock each time he comes onto the pitch, is an accident waiting to happen. He doesn't do his team or the sport any favours.

IMO the ref had no hope. A few players on both sides were just up for a scrap, Hock being the leading culprit but not the only one. It's a great shame that he's degenerated from being a skilful and effective player with a few too many rough edges into just a bunch of rough edges.
It will be interesting to see what the disciplinary makes of it all next week.

If you recall the last time Hock was at The Hive he was sin-binned for starting on the young,taller than average hooker,Cunningham,on dual - reg from Hull FC.( Credit to Cunningham he stood his ground)
Against Featherstone it was the youngster Baldwinson,on loan/dual reg? from Leeds.
I suspect he will start again against one of your youngsters.
It is like watching the grass grow with Leigh,and their 'style of play' is coached so well it appears as natural as grass.
I hope all goes well for you on 7th June.
( Then again in the Middle 8's )

Not sure the last post helps your cause
Quote: atomic "That's 34 players cited to the Disciplinary, from our last 3 games. (13 in Leigh v Halifax; 13 in Wakefield v Leigh; and 'only 8' in Leigh v Featherstone) No way are the Disciplinary members going to fall asleep, whilst reviewing our games!
Must say, I was surprised at so many in the Wakefield game - from what I saw on TV, I don't remember that many incidents?'"

I see a common factor. Can you guess what it is?

| So anyone had any revised thoughts on how middle 8 might pan out, I reckon wakey salford Def other 2 either both hull teams or KR and widnes
With leigh Bradford Sheffield then god knows, if we make it in it will be on a good run but reckon we would maybe finish 6th in that comp, I still think wakey will come down but could be Bradford or Leigh. Salford will be a tough nut for any championship team but already lost to leigh so who knows
