Would love to see the penalty count. Must have been about 25-4. One of the worst refs I have ever seen.

Made the effort whilst heading home tonight, well worth it.
Fantastic defence, team spirit in abundance and very proud of all bar Hobson. If he did lead with the elbow I would drag him in and sack him.
I would like to see the incident that took Stanton out first half, hope his Jaw/Cheekbone is not broken.
Ref was reffed by Harris, our defence killed him all night and to think they only scored when we had 11, then right at the death we nearly pinched it.
Durbin at 9 is a masterstroke. One very proud fan tonight, and I cant recall saying that for a while.

Thanks for the comments Mo......... seemed like that via the radio commentary( unbiased ) .....Looks like NK has tightened up our defence thankfully........ A good result given the numerical disparity.

Same ref killed us in the penalty count, sent someone off and also disallowed what looked like a good try last Friday. The Radio Manchester commentators were saying on Sunday that even though he was poor, the only way they'll learn is to give them the experience - Sorry but I don't see why the teams on the end of his gaffs should have to put up with the consquences (of having someone so bad). From what people have said he was probably as bad tonight as he was on Friday and IMO thats unacceptable. His next game is Halifax v Barrow - his reffing will probably spoil a good game and could swing it either way.

Really? I thought they'd had a dozen by the break, though my by reckoning we didn't get a penalty in the second half until the 70 minute mark?

Defence was incredible tonight, never seen owt like that.

So, so proud of that 16.

Hobson wants his head checking, mind. Very stupid action that cost us the game and his future has to be in doubt now, it's one red card too many.

Ref did blow for a dozen pens in first half - 8 to fev, 4 to leigh.

Well I listened to it on t wireless last night and even the the commentators were saying how well we defended considering the ridiculous penalties that the ref was intent on giving, and trying to make a name for himself.

Fev should have put the game to bed but our lads stood tall and did not let that happen and thats a sign of great team spirit coming on.

Just when is hobson going to learn? He sounded like he was having a good game making good runs and offloads and then .... well we know what to expect from him, its not if with him .... its when!!!!

A lot of positives in the game we are starting to play.

Well done one and all for last night (hobson aside of course)

It's good to see that the fans who went are pleased with the performance dispite the result.

This team has great potential, and with the fans backing them dispite defeats, the futures bright for all at Leigh Centurions.

Well done to NK, the lads and the supporters.
