The guy is a complete joke as a referee, he will not be happy until someone is hospitalized due to his complete ignorance of head high tackles, nearly every one of their plyers was guilty of at least one today, the guy is a laughing stock as a ref and the sooner he is put out to pasture the better, better still the glue factory. He is a liability to the game>

Thought Touch Judges where supposed to flag for offsides and forward passes.

Seems to me Laughton tells them before kick off he will make decisions UNLESS he asks for one of theirs.

This guy is one very poor referee and I keep saying it is not just at Leigh games.

The Touch Judges are obviously frightened of him.

One more thing I bet he's related to a Leigh player we used to play at full back till it was realised he was even more dangerous'from our point of view'on the wing.

This guy is so bad Cummings must take action.

The ref was BAD "incompetent" is putting it nicely

. The touch judges were useless wot purpose did they serve other than being oblivious to everything?. A bunch of useless tool's they want firing off

if he had a good game would you be down on your knees sucking his balls begging for forgivness off the other 1600 leigh& oldham supporters who didnt agree with you

The TJ on the East stand side was as bad. When Oldham scored their first 'non' try, he was 30 yards behind play. Having said that, had he been up with play where he SHOULD have been, he probably wouldn't have said anything. And I ain't gonna comment about Laughton's inept performance ....

He (the East stand TJ) did come on waving his flag, over the Higson 'tackle', but the ref didn't seem to want to know what he'd seen. He (the ref) had a much better view looking in the opposite direction to the 'tackle'! Incidentally, what was the ref looking at, in the empty South stand, at that moment?
