And there's the rub Frank. We've all been stiffed by a bad ref. It's not the first time it's happened to Leigh (or Fev) and it won't be the last.
But your defensive line was inspiring to say the least.
Notwithstanding the refs performance for just a sec - Neil Kelly now has to address the discipline of his players. Instead of ranting at the ref (which I'm told he did throughout), if Hobson could retract his moment of madness and the holding down was addressed (regardless of whether Fev did this or not), the game would have been Leigh's - of that I've no doubt!
ie regardless of the ref - if the discipline had been good - Leigh would have won!!!!!
Those who've used these fora for some years will know that I've a soft spot for Leigh. Always have had. Mining town, lived in the shadow of more illustrious neighbours who have annoyed the he_ll out of the establishment by actually winning stuff when allowed to compete on equal terms etc etc.
and I always enjoy my visit over there.
Crack on eh!
