Why was our 1st try ruled out ( i thought the movement close to the line was excelent ) ????, that team today showed some great signs played some good fast stuff but, we either gifted Fev field position in giving away penalties or the one eyed excuse for a professional rugby league reff marched them down to our line , i think only 1 or 2 of Fevs trys came from open play where they worked their own way down field . Cut the penalties out and we will win more than we lose

major reality check needed...fev where in second gear going through the motions for the last 20 mins until they needed to score to prevent the bonus point.
we are a very poor side

the penalty count was even near enough so your argument does not stack up

Just watched it when I got home and Stanton put a foot in touch

Just watched game again,should have been leading by 12 points in 1st half,we dont take our chances.Did not get the rub of the green in the second half,Hobson is doing nothing,we should still have got a bonus point out of it.How can the ref not give a high tackle for hit on Donlan is beyond me.

Hobson knocking on from the kick off gave them the momentum in the 2nd half, sack him off, hes a bag of fat.

oh right , cheers , i was expecting a hammering tonight and was surprised to see that at times we did have effort , skill and a chance of winning , but most of the 1st half was 2 teams playing 1 out rugby ,why, i have no idea. If we cut the penalties out perhaps we can see more of the play that led to the trys, and yeh it has to be the least skilled/ most frustrating team i have ever seen wear the leigh colours

Stanton looks like a character from the Beano.

tezza in commentary called him a "battle pocketship!"

for me we look uninterested at times slow and lacking ideas in attack, for me Rudd and stanton are a must from now on, they both ripped there opponants to shreds at times.
Reckon well win against Widnes, there hairdrying he gave them at fulltime was so bad, not one person attempted to enter the dressing room until he'd finished!!!
