The player only has a split second to make that decision and Im sure for certain he could not see a clear attempt to ground the ball. I think he is more than entitled to make that tackle and has to play to the whistle.

Having seen it on LCTV, I'm inclined to agree with you. (just this once! ) I'm off to Specsavers tomorrow!!

I always try and call it as it is.

No problem '71leyther'.I was near the middle of the West stand, and my eyesight is bad enough without drizzle on me specs. Let's see what the review panel come up with, and settle for that. Like I said, there were plenty of 'robust' challenges from both sides, for the panel to look at!

Can Mr Thaler not ask the in-goal ref?

After the incident he consulted both tj's and the in-goal tj.

He got a three wise monkeys response.

Nothing in the Higson challenge. It looked a little awkward but it was one of those that looked worse than what it was in my opinion .

The tackling though was sometimes brutal from Leigh and the overuse of energy made us very lethargic and disorganised in the defensive line at times. More efficiency required in the tackle me thinks !

Watching the replay, I don't think he gave them much chance to respond, other than to agree with him! I have to say, with the benefit of hindsight, he/they got it right though. Isn't that often the case when you get to see the incident again?

Re: Rabbis in headlights : Wed Jul 31, 2019 3:36 pm  

Why did our players take exception to the incident and why did Higson go off for a Head test ?

Re: Rabbis in headlights : Wed Jul 31, 2019 3:55 pm  

We made far too many mistakes in vital areas , Thornley was unlucky to loose possession when he was about to touch following a terrific try scoring pass from Riddy !
Junior Sau will have nightmares thinking of his botched play the ball late in the game when we had the Vikings on the rack !
Oh well typical Leigh we’ll probably put forty on em in couple of weeks !

Leigh failing to get to Wembley is part and parcel of being a Leigh supporter unfortunately !
I’ve counted seven occasions now when I’ve seen us on the cusp of a Wembley appearance and we have succeeded only once! I hope I get the opportunity to see us at Wembley in the future as it’s like no other experience I’ve know !
