8 nil down and lucky only to be that

1st defeat of the season today ?
Reckon so.

Higson on report, to many high tackles coming from Leigh.

HT 8 nil down but Dew have a player sent of at the hooter.........Brierley flattened off the ball

According to Mark Taylor on Twitter the stewards had to separate the benches after that incident.

Our boys will come out and do the job in the 2nd half - no problem.

8-10 the one man advantage looks like its paying off at the moment

Well predicted Mish !!!!!

8_28 10 mins to go

Rams pen for a ball steal then another for dissent which sees Haggerty sin binned

RAMS TRY Morton in at the far corner. 12-28 kik missed

Doncaster just managed to scrape a BP against Whitehaven with a try in the 79th minute. Full time Haven 29 - 20 Dons.

Halifax lost 6 - 12 against Crusaders. Great win for Cru!!

Leigh win 28-12 well done lads

Well done to the lads. Tough place to go and win
Sounds like a couple of other scores went our way also

Their coach on radio Leeds says Leigh should have been down to 12 and not them. He also says that when we are struggling we use the tactic of getting someone sent off to motivate our players.
Said Dewsbury should have won.

Disgraceful Dewsbury fans shouting they hoped Brierley was dead when he was down .
We're also the dirtest team in the league a team of thugs and Jamie Acton the worst of the lot
Leigh have always been the same !!!!!
Their fan s were abusing our players at the end too
PMSL at the sour grapes

In a good game the ref is never noticed, he was noticed a great deal today
The RFL should have a long hard look at what fans pay money to see and ensure the refs understand this is an entertainment business

I was at the match today without a shadow of a doubt Dave Merrick is the worst referee I have ever seen bloody disgraceful ,He wouldn't have to referee an under sevens match, Dave Merrick we'd have been better off with John Merrick (The Elephant Man )

1st half we gave away too many pens, too many forward passes and too many knockons. Despite that we defended well and only conceded off a race away interception and a penalty. Add to that a ridiculously strong wind going straight into our faces and I was extremely confident of a win going into half time at just 8 - 0 down. Then that idiot flattened Brierley and got sent off and I was even more confident.

2nd half with the strong wind behind us we picked it up a gear and destroyed them at times. Man extra helped but we were always going to win that 2nd half IMO.

Penky was MOM for me and Hopkins not far behind him. Ref was very poor but we also gave away too many high shots.

Did you hear the Leigh Team singing, banging and celebrating in the background?
Sounded like they are 'ALL IN IT TOGETHER' and enjoying the ride too. Well done Leythers



Enjoy

It will be interesting to see what Adam Higson really did to the Dewsbury player, but what I will say is the ref was in line with play and watching when the Dewsbury player blatantly lead with his elbow and flattened Adam. I have to also say that we have to be a bit more savvy with the Ref. It looked to me like he was getting his own back with some of the penalties for what had been going on or said.

Before Glenn Morrison mouths off about the underhand tactics of the opposition, and the weakness of the officials, I would like him to answer one question. Whose idea was it to target Ryan Brierley? Before the red card incident, Brierley had been decked three times, OFF the ball. Did the players take it upon themselves to do this, or was it on the coach's instructions?

That said, our discipline leaves much to be desired. We actually played the last few minutes with TEN men on the pitch, after Armstrong went off injured, after we had used up our replacements and Kurt Haggerty and Jamie Acton were sin-binned. Acton seems to be looking for trouble at the slightest opportunity and it really is a most unedifying spectacle seeing his own players constantly restraining him! McNally seems to be protesting every decision and even if the ref is wrong, he definitely won't change his mind as a result of Gregg's pleadings.

In my opinion, the coach really does need to get a grip on discipline, before it costs us, big time.

Jamie patted a couple of their players on the head hardly thuggish and ran in at the end to be dragged away by Bob , didn't see him do much wrong really .

I agree with DJ. Acton was involved in a lot but he never actually threw a punch, even after Haggerty took Kes's head off. I kept thinking he was going to boil over but although he put himself about he didn't actually do much wrong IMO.

Well I agree with Alan.

We are going well but sometimes we look like we want to show the other team who is boss in the fisticuffs department.

The ref should have sorted out the niggling by both sides early doors but despite the fact he was whistle happy he did not.

The wind was very strong and obviously impacted on the game and it was a cold wind too.

Well we won but it was hardly a game you would like to watch again.

There is no doubt the high tackle on Brierley just on HT was a well deserved sending off but our team should know talking back to refs can be costly.
