I've watched Leigh 9 times this season. 6 live and 3 on TV.

Each time I've watched them it has appeared that Leigh's tactics have been the cause of flare-ups. That view has been backed up by an awful lot of people.

Now this is the key point that some Leigh fans on here are missing. Criticising a team or club does not equate to "hate" (©Salford fans 2014). And pretending that it's somehow everyone else's fault just smacks of delusion or naivety. The same as somehow thinking SL clubs fans think Leigh are somehow threatening their "safe haven" or that they hate small town clubs. That's just deluded rubbish.
I also don't see a witch hunt. I see a continuing issue that isn't being dealt with. This leads to continual comments and so continual denials by those Leigh fans determined to turn their club into some kind of martyr. It is very, very similar to Salford. We've had similar accusations from their fans of "hatred" or "witch hunts" when people pointed out the players they were buying weren't actually that fantastically amazing or that Koukash might not be the RL genius that he was being portrayed as.

I like Leigh when they stop the niggle and play rugby. That's why I went to their games when I could. They're good at it and wouldn't look out of place in SL. They have some cracking players in Brierley etc who are SL standard. I just wish they would tone down the niggle and play rugby more often.

I also wish that Rowley, Beaumont etc would act more professionally and with a bit more humility.

Which 6 and what incidents in each?

You will also note that after the match has been reviewed two players have been charged, both Fev one of whom faces two charges

There has been a pattern in recent weeks to target Leigh then whinge about it after to a biased press in W Yorks. I want a strong ref every game who takes no poop this allowing a fast game to be watched- certain coaches do not want that when playing leigh

Mo, Hock has been charged with a grade A offence for the slap in first half.

Like I have said already Reaping the rewards of retaliation.

Apart from a petulant slap from Hock there was nothing more than handbags from Leigh for the rest of the match. Aggressive yes and lots of pushing and posturing but nothing nasty.

Fev have been charged with headbutting a man who was on the floor, then eye gouging the same player straight after. Another lad charged with a reckless high tackle.

Leigh were by no means angels but I think claiming it was 'retaliation' from Fev is a very soft argument. Even if it were true I don't think 'retaliation' is any excuse for eye gouging a player on the floor, do you?

Yet beswick get away with Gouging Wood. Not condoning what wood did, but he retaliated to being Gouged. He's had photos of his eye taken after the game.

There was no need to do anything else was there, job done player sent off

Thanks. You've just proved my point in a far more comprehensive manner than I thought possible.

Sorry but that incident was caught on camera from a dozen angles on SKY cameras and others. If even one of them suggested a hint of a gouge then Beswick would have been called up as it is a very serious charge (Grade E, 4-8 matches)

Seems to be a theme from Fev recently. Their players get hit with doping bans and they declare that all the Leigh players are about to get done too. One of their players gets charged with eye gouging and suddenly it was Leigh that were eye gouging 1st, despite no signs of it at all from the extensive TV footage.

Re: Discipline at Leigh : Thu May 28, 2015 3:45 pm  

Wood could have been caught in they eye by any number of people in that tackle. As pointed out if there had been anything in his claim Beswick would have been summoned as well but I think Bob got SB sufficient didn't he after the whole incident was scrutinised by the committee.

Re: Discipline at Leigh : Thu May 28, 2015 4:00 pm  

I've seen the BBC footage in slo-mo and there simply is no evidence of Bob Beswick or any other Leigh player gouging Paul Woods eye. The 'evidence' of a mark on his face is meaningless, it could have happened in a multitude of ways.

Paul Wood is facing 2 charges and could get a 5-10 game ban if found guilty on both, Reni Maitua could get 1-2 if found guilty, and Gareth Hock could get between 0 and 1 games if he's found guilty.

The game at Blackpool was rubbish because of all the hugging and dancing the players were doing. However, only the eye gouge crossed the line of acceptable behaviour on a rugby league field. Everything else was run of the mill handbag stuff.

P.S. There's a lot of people on this thread that may be unpleasantly surprised should they ever meet a real thug
