Fuming, absolutely fuming. Never seen us get so many 'petty' technical penalties given against us. As far as I remember until that Henderson shocker 2 mins from time we only gave away maybe 1 high shot all game? The other 20odd were all for not square, offside and even a RIDICULOUS 'incorrect play the ball' decision. Fev did there usual hands in at the play the ball constantly messing around without getting pulled apart from in the 1st 10 mins.
Fev were the better side no question, but how can we even compete when we can't get hold of the ball. Possession in Fevs favour must have been huge.
Apart from Hendo's ridiculous shot near the end (his season over no doubt, the idiot!) and I am struggling to say what the leigh players could have done better. (obviously discipline wasn't awesome but it nowhere NEAR warrented that sort of penalty count!)
We defended well for most of the game, Fev capitilised on nearly all their chances so well done to them. Our attack was awesome for the 1st 10 minutes. We probably had more of the ball in that 10 minutes though than we did in the rest of the match. After that we were just crucified by Stokes. No ball, every thing went Fevs way. 3 dissallowed tries for us. Murdered in the Pen count. The lads must have been absolutely shattered due to the sheer amount of defending they had to do, not to mention SERIOUSLY frustrated by the horrific refereeing performance!
Well done tonight lads, we were done over by the ref. Didn't stand a chance tonight with Stokes acting like he did.
Also well done to Fev, they played well, best side won and wasn't their fault that Stokes killed us.
Thought we showed enough when we occassionally had the ball that I think with a decent pitch and a different REFEREE that we can take Fev in the final, if we make it.
Still seriously annoyed by what i've just witnessed but not downhearted.

That first half was as good as anything I've seen from Leigh for years. Took our chances really well. Line speed was superb and our goal line defence was excellent.
I don't want to take anything away from Fev who really are an outstanding team, Their line speed is lightning quick, their defence is brutal and when they get going forward they're virtually impossible to stop, BUT...
...the referee killed us in that second half. The 2 disallowed tries, which would have seen us retake the lead really knocked the stuffing out of us. The first one for obstruction I can understand, even though I thought it was harsh. The 2nd one for a forward pass was never forward. During this spell some other marginal decisions went against us including a Fev try for a ball lost in the collision. Despite inconclusive camera angles the try was given. After all this our heads went.
I do think that Fev's sheer dominance in both attack and defence is what caused us to give so many penalties away, and if we get to the GF, turning them over will be a monumental effort, BUT...
...Leigh should take a lot of heart from today's game. They were outstanding for 60 minutes and if so many marginal calls hadn't gone against us early in the 2nd half, it could have been a different outcome.
Anyway, time to forget about tonight. Focus on beating Halifax or Sheffield next week and then think about getting one over on the Flatcappers.

I don't usually comment on refereeing performances as, like players they are inclined to make mistakes from time to time.
But that tonight was an absolute disgrace, no consistency some awful, awful decisions. Poor video refereeing again from Ian smith - clown. Really spoiled the encounter.
Taking all that into account it was only 4 tries to 3. Super defensive effort from the team.
Absolutely gutted for the lads. Just hope it hasn't drained the tanks too much for next week...

Thought the Leigh fans turned out in numbers and were a credit today. Not sure about the poor pitch comment though ?! Thought you were hard done to with the two try decisions though.
Good luck and hope to see you in the final.

What i dont like about the video ref on premier sports is that they only have 2 angles,you cannot tell half the time,if its a try or not.They should do away with it altogether,its pointless having it. |
