We he get away with it? Probably not.

Will worse be let go? Almost definitely!

Thought the ref applied common sense to that incident, just like he did throughout the game. There was no fuss, no glut of penalties, despite the noise from the home crowd.

I'd be happy to get him again.

Me too Al. Thought he had a really good game.

A tactic used by Cas this year without punishment up to now , but much more dangerous than Jamie's or the Cats player yesterday is deliberatly pushing a defending player INTO his full back as he's catching a bomb , they did it against us in the 1 st game , repeated it against Wakey on Thursday and have done it in other games

The potential for head injury is massive

Only if a Leigh player does it.

Obsessed !

Both incidents are totally incomparable. If you watch each one back in isolation you will conclude one is running in the direction of the ball, impeded by a stray defender in his direct path , the other is fixated on only taking out Flanagan behind the ball in a cowardly fashion unrelated to the context of the play or the game of Rugby League.

One is rightfully a penalty, the other one is more severe and deserving of a ban. End of.

These qualifiers are no place for such lunacy.

Well I hope your opinion changes next season Harold, but that's more down to him than you

At last a proper ref. Typical it's the first time he's reffed us all season!!

Agreed. As a matter of interest, we've had Ben Thaler three times at home, and won all three! We seem to be ok when we have 'proper' refs!

I know what you are saying, Harold, but the outcome of both challenges could have been the same. (i.e. "potential for injury", as the 'Disciplinary' decreed, in Acton's case) Believe me, there is nothing worse than being 'challenged' by someone, when you don't see it coming. Not sure who the Catalans player was in that 'challenge' but some of them have disciplinary records, not far behind Acton's!

I think it was Inu on Drinky Alan, early on in the game.

Interesting how we haven't had a trip to Red Hall since our last game against Catalan. Our penalty count has dramatically improved as well. I can't put my finger on why..........

Was it that the owner promised them all an end of season holiday to Skegness (no offence intended

) if their discipline didn't improve?

Not even a little bit of offence intended?

Quote ="Alan"I spotted that one too. Virtually identical to Acton's push last season, and definitely with 'the potential for injury'! Of course, he wasn't pushed in the head, which seems to be one of this season's criteria for punishment! Do we reckon Gregg will get away with his high tackle?'" I was wrong.

Quote ="LeythIg"I was wrong. No charge for McNally www.rugby-league.com/article/508 ... er-charged'" Hilariously complicated explanation of why not though, on Disciplinary section of RFL website, including:- "Both players were running at high speed in opposite directions!" As you do, when you are trying to tackle someone! Thankfully the Disciplinary seem to have indisciplined Championship clubs to focus on in the Middle 8's - I think the only players cited in the first three rounds, have been from 'Fax and Fev.

What impressed me most other than our effort, was the discipline, ill discipline has cost us this year, probably 3 victories i reckon.

Obsessed ? no Harold, Incensed is the word

I can no longer view Jamies 'push' on Flanagan however, my recollections are that ; Jamie is backtracking a Salford field kick and whilst running he finds Flanagan in his way.
My view was that Jamie was looking directly at the flight of the Ball and not, at Flanagan ! Whatever he did not deserve four matches for that


On Saturday Cats centre Inu pushed Josh in the back with great force, an action that[u could [/uhave broken Josh's Neck! (notice the use of the COULD ! )icon_rolleyes.gif
I'll never change my opinion, that Jamie is not treated as others because, the facts are there!
I would have no fears of relegation either if Jaime was supplying our 'go-forward'

While I'm griping, here's another


Video Ref (Childs) was able to scrutinise our four 'try scoring incidents' on Saturday and after a long deliberation was able to rule them all out! Now, I agree entirely with his conclusions as there were 'obvious' infringements to deny the scores! My problem is, the same Video Ref was asked to decide on HKR's match winning score last week yet, Childs allowed the Try when it was patently obvious that Scrunton had not played the Ball correctly!(Couldn't Childs have just got one of them wrong?, apparently not

)
Some Rovers fans have been on here claiming SCrunton was prevented from standing by Leigh tacklers, could have been? result should have a been a Penalty for Rovers


On Saturday did anyone see Richie Myler foul Mitch Brown as Mitch was in the Air competing for an high kick? or was that only on my TV

After taking another look at that,Smith is parallel to the PTB and waves play on. Video refs have two protocols to follow,which protocol is followed is determined by the refs decision of try/no try on field.

Who was MOM ?

EVERY ONE OF THEM



Sorry VL i don't know

Josh Drinkwater M.O.M. But I would have chosen Langi.
