I thought Higgy tackling was top drawer , hard but fair . Hewer is poor at the best , when both coaches call the ref you have to laugh !

Where's the ref bashing backlash gang?
Sorry.

The fight erupted on Fax’s left, where Harrison made a thinly-veiled criticism of the tackling technique of a Leigh player, apparently the winger Adam Higson.

“I just saw one of my players getting assaulted by three Leigh players and then get sent off,” he said.

“It’s beyond me, and I’ve watched it again on video.

“At half time, we had seven head wounds to patch up on our left hand side, because a certain player of theirs was going round whacking people and nothing was done about it.

[iKarl, stop talking out of your bottom.
After the 3rd minute, Heaton 'received' a long/lofted pass on the flank, Higson read it, was already running at him, then Adam's 'body' smashed his....'fair & square' albeit a very tough tackle. Heaton was mouthing off to Higson after that tackle, and after that moment all Heaton wanted to do Leigh players was confront them. Shortly before the brawl, he grabbed Bate by the shirt collar, he got ignored, so nothing happened. Karl, when your player has been a PRAT....admit it.[/i

It will soon be on Leigh Centurion TV so we will be able to see who is right then.

Had I been involved it would have been very one sided.

I know in 1 pic I saw, There was 9 Leigh players in the mix and 3 Fax lads, Shame on Fax lads not getting in sooner imo

Bloody Hell - How many pops did you have ??


Jonny Pownall ran in and gangtackled the prop and he was getting smashed in the face by Maden whilst being unable to defend himself !



He was lucky to get 2 games !!

Remeber the game v Widnes a good few years ago ? I remember Malangi Styles pummelling a Widnes player whilst 2 players held him. Did he get 2 games ?

He got lucky too. He got 4 or 5 !!

In fact, that Brawl accumalated an 18 match ban for about 5 players.


No Maden should have let Liam Higgins stand up first !! Then pummel him !

Last two games see us as the least penalised team in our league.

Paul Rowley and his team have opened my eyes to just how professionally coached Leigh Centurions are in the last couple of months.

Top young British coach I just hope we can keep hold of him for years to come.


Cheers

Andy

The 'holding back' was Rowley and Mark Smith, wasn't it?

Well you will get the chance to see it again on Saturday - that is if your a member of Leigh Centurions TV -if not then join now still only £3.50 per week or £32 per year gotta be a bargain just for that game alone.
No computer or Internet? then the DVD of the game is for sale on The Centurions Market Outlet for £5.

If your hearing is good you can just hear Harrison throwing a hisy fit in the background because all the journos are listening to Paul Rowley and not him, telling them all to F*** Off, what a class act he is...NOT

Fred, it's not a bargain at £3.50 per week













£3.50 per month IS a bargain.

Seems to be spreading to the U20s as Cam Pitman has been charged with fighting against Salford

It is OK there isn't a problem.

£3.50 a week would still be a bargain, but yes it is a month.

We average 7 penalties conceded per game which is among the lowest in the Championship.

Rugby League is a tough sport; if opposing players want to take repeated cheap shots at our lads (which is what caused the problems in the first place) then the message is loud and clear.

[iOur lads will NOT roll over.[/i

The spirit and unity at the Club is concrete from top to bottom.

How unlike you to be the dissenting voice or the supporter of the downtrodden stayaway fan.
Its not too far to watch the Wire.

Very well said.

Just applying a bit of common sense, amidst the welcome euphoria around the club there seem to have been a distinct change in approach on the pitch. Not only is foul play and fighting being appreciated in the cause it seems to be being encouraged. With the playoffs approaching it would be ridiculous if fans were blaming suspensions for a lack of success.
Seven penalties per game is obviously not a problem but brawling is.

Fans not attending is a repetitive whinge from a few posters, my posts have nothing to do with that subject.

Your concerns are noted and appreciated.

Let's move on and carry on going places at pace eh.

Thanks

Andy

I don't do pace any more.

You can if you come along for the ride

Let me state loud and clear that as a coach and the Dad of a young referee, I do not condone foul play.
BUT
there comes a time when enough is enough, and I totally agree with Alex's Dad here.
My old school rugby coach was the most influential person in my young rugby life. His stance was, the first time you get hit just shake your head and smile at them. The second time you get hit, you shake your head and laugh back at them. The third time, you give it back and rest of the team better be right behind you.

Having watched the brawl again on CTV I have to say it was more like a Union rolling maul, loads of shirt grabbing and not much action.

If you can slow it down it looks like someone gives Heaton a sneaky upper cut as he is being dragged away about 2 seconds into the ruck. I'm not sure who it was.
