They should kick you out of the competition.

If true I fail to see how the fault can be laid at Leigh,s door surely its an operating error of the match officials lets face it they have enough present at each game.
But no doubt the RFL will invent something up to lay the blame elsewhere

Let go of them straws Ged.

From what ive seen these past few years most of the match officials in the Championship
are of a pretty poor standard

No franchise for Leigh, you should do a cover up just like our Dr Pepper incident.

How did your boys go on yesterday? Maybe you could have done with an extra player or 3

Haven would still have lodged a complaint if they'd have lost by 50 !!!

Correct, were shocking at the minute.

as are your predictions of player signings by the end of last week

I haven't seen the incident on Fred's DVD, but was sat in the stand, watching the antics of the MC, and the non-antics of the fourth official, who was being constantly harrassed by Ged Stokes. (I wonder if the DVD will show all that?)

Anyway, the real purpose of this post is to voice my suspicion that, on at least one occasion, Haven had all 17 players, plus 7 water carriers, a trainer, physio, doctor, and three directors actually on the field of play. I would exonerate Mr.Stokes from being on the pitch too - he was definitely too busy getting in the face of the fourth official!



By the way, am I imagining this, or was the fourth official responsible for monitoring the comings and goings of ALL the replacements? Isn't there usually an official reponsible for each team? I must have been imagining it, because the RFL wouldn't allow a game to take place with less than the required number of officials, would they?
