Leigh Leopards Secure Hard Fought Win Over Salford
It is thirty-nine years since a Leigh side travelled to Salford and came away with the points and despite Leigh being second in the table against seventh paced Salford, the bookies still thought that it would be the Red Devils who would win a close game as they gave the Leopards a two-point start on the handicap coupon.

A win for the home side would lift them back into the top six but it was the Leopards aspirations of the minor premiership which were on the line as they needed the two points to keep them in touch with the Catalans Dragons at the top of the table.

There had never been an ‘East Lancs Road' derby with more to play for and less certainty as to who would emerge victorious.

You got a little bit lucky with this one, it's a good job there wasn't a VR.
Mind you, they all count.

What's that showing us? Dangerous high contact? Or a try/no try?

Who was the referee in the game? Seems to have been a fair few stinkers going off all the videos on twitter.

Try/No try.

Leutele is in the air said Ben Thaler when the touch judge first said ( It's good for me)
Salford fans are in meltdown on Twitter.


Here is Ben Reynolds touching the ball first but, ref gives gives a try to Salford. Salford fans aren't showing you this one on social media are they?

My take on it is, until we have VR at all matches, we will always see contentious decisions. It will even itself out over the course of the season.

Leutele one is never a try.

The Reynolds one you'd need to see a video as that screenshot shows nothing.

The point is, VR needs to be used in every game to get the answer. As it stands, there will be more contentious decisions. I guess atm, it will even out over the course of the season.

Just seen a video on the Reynolds one. No one actually touched the ball, so there you go.
