As usual it was refereeing inconsistency than made the difference, we should have had loads of penalties for TWs continual interference at the PTB. Difficult when players moved out of position all gave 100% and the harsh sin binning probably decided the game. With Gregg at 1 and Pownall on wing and Riddy in the middle we could have probably won given a fair crack by the ref. Great effort from all, good contest to watch.

It was too! That's three cracking games we've seen at LSV, so far.

Passion and commitment, to a man they put their bodies on the line. In all honesty I never saw us winning that game, apart from a lucky try we never looked like breaking down a very well organised defence.

Expected more from TW, but we deserve an awful lot of credit for nullifying them. If we keep playing as well as that then a play off place is extremely likely.

Very proud of their efforts

Agree we have seen 3 great games, but usually my half time thoughts are go and relieve myself.

Did that first while I contemplated the game and the meaning of life. I'm probably way off with the game stuff but I know for sure that the meaning of life is 42.

As a neutral that was a good game to watch. Leigh were unlucky, they played well.

The referee did let the game flow but in doing so he missed a whole multitude of technical offences that he should have blown for. He also took us back a BIG 10 , but when we were in attack, not so far back with Toronto that made our ability to create ever more difficult.

Also, Richardson was sin binned for interference at the PTB (arguably correctly) yet when Richardson was cynically taken out late by Bodene Thompson, on a scoring opportunity a penalty deemed sufficient, despite foul play that had the potential to cause Richardson injury.

Spot on Harold, but no doubt reffy,and the funny horseman Will put you in your place.

Richardson was penalised for interference, he was sin binned for dissent.
The referee wasn’t without fault, they never are, but as mentioned he let the game flow and made a positive contribution to it.
In every fan’s summing up a game there is usually, he did us for something but what about..........

My sincere apologies to Mr Grant. I must have missed the dissent at the time. A stupid mistake by the Leigh player that could have ultimately cost us an highly unlikely yet quite remarkable victory. Oh dear.
