I would say 3 tries disallowed. Littlers interception being the other - he was onside at the play the ball and he would have had a clear run to the line.
Is it OK to get up from every tackle by placing your hands on the tackled player and pushing yourself up (therefore not allowing a quick play the ball)?
No one can say what the final score would have been had we been allowed those tries - our lads didn't tire - the ref knocked the stuffing out of them.

Thaz talking utter shiiiiiite matey, watch the game, i have twice, there was 1 decision that went against you that was petty and 1 only, that was the play the ball 1. That was a terrible decision there was loads of times he could of pulled players up for that 1. Both trys wernt trys simple as, you were giving penalties away because your players were shagged out on there feet. Your team played well for 65/70 mins the game lasts 80 thats why you lost sod all to do with the ref

They wernt trys though were they

What about the by hendo on briggs,def trt had that not happend , if and buts ! You were beaten by a better side over 80 minutes.

Starting to sound a bit sore now !

YES they were tries - just not awarded by the incompetant fools in charge.

Cheers Glow.

Have a look in the league express Monday

Those who are saying we had three tries wiped off, I know where you are coming from, but whilst we could well have scored when Littler ran away, we didn't see us put the ball down. On the other two tries ruled out, we did actually see us put it down. No ifs and buts. In a game in which one side only got four tries(awarded) and the other three (awarded), these were obviously HUGE calls.

We have to get there first, and we need a few of your pack absent as well to walk it. Fev play a gameplan and they get away with it, you also have great playmakers and a deep squad. Last night will have hurt us and if the Fax v Sheff game is soft then we will struggle to recover fully.
Now fek off sonny and enjoy your week and half of planning to the GF.

Are you like 12 years old ? It gets better.

Mental age.

We can all talk about the ref all day, Fev fans will say the decisions were right we will say they were wrong, not seen it on TV myself but as we were going home in the car a friend of ours who's a Widnes fan text Frank and said the ref was leaning heavily towards Fev, he also said doesn't seem like he likes Leigh. Also i believe people who Have watched on TV said the pundits on there said they could not see owt wrong with the disallowed trys.

Now we all need to move on, i personally enjoyed last night and again met some fev fans who i now class as good mate's, hope we meet up with Fev in the final, we need to do the business on Thursday though first.

I have already said, only one of our tries should have stood, any of the fev fans posting on here who've watched it again will know that duffy passed the ball whilst stood on the line, whilst gardner caught it whilst stood behind it, tho only way it could have been forward was if gardners arms are 3.5M long.

I thought briscoes try was forward TBH though, and i also thought dickens had a little fumble with the egg before he picked it up. In short, owt that could go wrong did, we played unintelligently at the ruck and fev were ruthless with their opportunities. Would i be confident of beating fev on a flat pitch at the halliwell jones just 6-7 miles from leigh? We knew what we were getting with stokes, and i've said it before, playing the ref is just as important as playing your opponents, fev always do it well, dickens, kain, finn always having a little chat. We haven't had that sort of nouse since rowley was playing!

Lets celebrate a top class display - pity it didn't last 80 mins, but with 2 tries allowed and a fair penalty count, it coulda done. (Parker and Hoppy would have made a difference as these Yorkshire packs are full of "thugs".)
Here's a thought: Riddy for England Knights??? Classiest player on field by miles. Kain usually plays well against us, but rubbish last night. Most of the top 6s are overseas anyway - Hohaia,Finch, Green,Rangi and even Briers is supposedly Welsh.

Remind me again owd cock. Which team had a player sent from the field????







priceless!

Lets ask some opinions then:

1) Littler interception: Offside?

Not a chance it was offside. If I remember correctly, this one was potentially a -12 turnaround. We could have scored 6, instead Fev got the ball back on our line and scored 6.

2) Disallowed try: Obstruction?

More difficult, but in my opinion the defender was not going to be even close to affecting play.

3) Disallowed try: forward pass?

Not in a million years. Not from any angle did it look forward.


Take a try away from Fev and add another 2 or 3 tries for Leigh and this game looks very different.

So lets forget all the niggly stuff we were done for, and lets just look at those 3 key decisions that went against Leigh. Is there anyone out there who can genuinely say that no.1 and no.3 were the right decisions?

All 3 should have been tries.The officiating was totally abysmal.would prefer not to hear or see stokey & smithy again,ruining the game in my opinion.

Hope he never steps foot into our ground again ! incompetent to say the least ,SL could be getting a mighty fine ref if he goes full time

please

I can asure you Georgie boy has recently gone full time

just get over it leythers and move on, the phrase sore losers springs to mind! im sure you can still reach the final cos your a quality side and i really hope you do.

fev were e last nite in the first half but we upped our game in the second and ran out worthy winners, we only needed a good 40 mins to get the job done


if fev want to win the grand final then were gonna have to produce the goods for the full 80 and im sure if we do nobody will touch us


leigh played well last nite but they set off like a house on fire and the forwards were knackered by half time, fevs fitness and forwards took over in the second half and the leigh lads were out on their feet and could'nt stop the momentum.

good luck leythers and hope ya make it to warrington!

If fev fans want us to move on,get over it or stop being sore about it, then perhaps it would help if you lot stop coming on here talking rubbish all day about it

you say fev were poor in the first half,but stokey & smithy made it nice for you in the second half didn't they.Anyway you can,t start the next chapter if you keep reading the last one,so better to move on.

I did think the 2 tries disallowed where ok and might have made the difference, but we would never know if you would have won.Seemed like Fev had the advantage going down the slope though, and if your team are good enough and resilent you will make the final.But i could not believe Nobby was defending that late tackle from Henderson.It was a shocking arm that took his head off, and it did make me laugh though, as he flew in like a steam train.

www.featherstonerovers.net/article.php?id=9346 Discuss Actually only shows the forward pass 'try' (clearly, ball passed well short of line, caught on line!), also shows just how dirty Henderson was.

Thanks for those. They are good quality highlights and further underline everything the Leythers and many neutrals have both said and alluded to. The pass was a beauty from Riddy. The officials were just not having us win on the night for some reason. Extremely disappointing( maybe an understatement ), but not entirely surprising these days in RL. The sport is sadly becoming more and more pathetic by the day.
