You lot slay me with the Rowley incident, I'll remind you Leighs other players got bans too,it was a total of 9 matches for that incident.

Differance is Haggerty could of seriously hurt the Sheffield player, a man of his size coming at you at speed with a stiff arm when you are'nt looking.

Worse incident of its type I've seen for sometime and you lot know if it was done against Widnes you would be saying the same.

Please let the Rowley incident drop I know he is not proud of it and Rowley definately took more than he gave throughout his career.

What he done was was cowardly and it wont be forgotten, it is the worst incident i have ever seen at a Rugby match. It is also the only time i have ever considered jumping on the pitch to help Mark. Pinning his arms behind his back while he layed into his face is disgraceful and IMO that was planned directly against mark.

Shocking incident that will never be forgotten.

One of the main reasons also why most of the fans despise each other.

I don't condone what Haggy did at all and haven't thus far.
People on the rugby field will get riled and seek retribution but It was still a despicable challenge. If he had received a lengthier ban then I would not have complained.

There really is no contest though with the assault on Mark Smith and I will never forget the Rowley incident. I agree with VM it was the most sickening thing I have seen on a pitch.. maybe even on city streets during nights out. It was planned and plotted between the three players which makes it even more barbaric. If a few of us had gone with our gut instinct that day there would have been a horde of Widnes fans running onto the pitch.

Planned and plotted, and how do you know this, can you honestly believe 3 players got together and said,"look it will take 3 of us to sort Smith out,you two hold his arms whilst I hit him". Again I'm not condoning what happened but come on get serious, no way was it planned before the game.

I have no doubt that his name was mentioned numerous times before the match by both the coaching team of Leigh and the players themselves. When a fight normally kicks off you tend to see players just flying in with punches everywhere, what happened to Mark was planned and malicious.

It wont be forgotten.

I'm not saying anything like it was planned before the game.. but three players (knew to) hang back.. two players each (knew to) grab an arm while one man pummelled Smith..
That takes a conversation, maybe during the last break for a score, maybe during time off for a penalty or an injury... It's still planning!!

Yes thats right, I forgot only Widnes fans are allowed to comment about dirty play, because they are always wronged and every other team are animals.

I also note that some of you have become mind readers as well, put your predictions down on what dastardly deed Leigh are "plotting" for our next game. I've heard Rowley has spoken to a Ninja to sneak into Smiths house and put some time delay drug on his pillow that will activate 75 minutes into the game and result in him losing the ability to catch the ball, knocking on under the sticks Leigh win the scrum and score the winning try.

Grow up the lot of you, you do yourselves no favours and come across as being extremely one eyed to every other fan.Saying we shall never forget is pathetic,I have seen many thugish things on the field and don't like any of it but come on you have to put it behind you someday.

No growing up needed on this board Twitcher...
You were the ones coming onto this board and spouting from your moral high ground. It's true that a Leyther's idea of what is thugish is probably quite overwhelming to the rest of us.. releasing a bear onto the pitch maybe. There is plenty of niggly, dirty, rough play that goes on in the game.. Whilst this is probably tame to you only once have I seen a situation in all my years of watching the game where two men hold another mans arms behind his back whilst a third player punches him repeatedly in the face...
If you're that upset get back to your glass house and watch out for the stones..
