Who at leigh has been pizzin off stu cummins, Ben thaler and the rest of the rfl's band off officials??? Cos you got fair bottied by Tim tonight!!

They all hate Leigh.

They got carped on again at crucial times.

Just got back now. Leigh not clinical enough in the first half. Sheffield took all their chances. Fair play to em. However, yet again, in a tight game we were shat on by the officials.

nah come on RFF , it was lost in the first half ! they played 60 minutes good stuff like at POR and that was not enough ! when they stopped trying to plough up the middle and spread it a bit they made strides.

No excuses in my book.

Bad first half by Leigh,poor tackling,shocking attempted off loads,miss placed passes and just a lack of intensity.

Much better second half,yes,decisions went against us at crucial times,when we were desperate ,shouldn't have got
to that stage though.
Great effort by the lads though,disappointing in the end,but a great season overhaul .

Agreed. Good luck to Sheffield in the final. Could be interesting - fev haven't beaten them this season!

Time we sorted that one out then

Should be a 'cracking crowd' at Warrington, Leigh Miners Rangers will take more fans than Sheffield !

We weren't at our best tonight by a long way. But again there were some baffling refereeing decisions that went against us. Do the rules change for the play offs?

Shame that because they are a cracking rugby team,anyhow we sold over a 1000 in one day through the club and reports in locla press suggest in excess of 60 coaches booked already..

No its the same level of incompetent reffing that we see all season in the championship,it just hurts that bit more when there is so much at stake..



I honestly thought you were gonna nick it,shame really would have been a good game fev -leigh

Cracking season though well done

Nowhere near as bad as the cheating last week. However, the game lasts 80 mins and with about 4-5 mins left it was 4 tries each and could have gone either way. Crucial calls went their way. They were hanging on. Don't think it was meant to be tonight. We botched several simple chances in the first half, that ultimately cost us. Sheffield are a good side and came here with a lot of confidence. Leigh seemed to lack composure in that first half. However, as I said, the game lasts 80 and had we been attacking their line with a minute to go, we could well have been in. Ifs and buts now, but we've had a great season anyway. Well done leigh !

Correct cushler,bad decisions in every game,but when its a big game and your getting desperate you notice it more,and when your getting frustrated
you dont think,and see thinks as clearly as you normally do.

Hope we don't make the play-off next season, it's 8 years now since we won one of these games.
Or if we do, 3rd at home to 6th, might not be Sheffield then. Sick of them coming to our ground with 60 fans, and then outplaying us. When we are losing to this lot, it's silence as we're depressed, and you can't hear them anyway.
Come on Fev !!!!!

The fog of war PNE unfortunately for leigh you have suffered from the reffing inconsistencies that we all come across,but like you say these are big games. I genuinely do feel for the leythers tonight. That aside Paul Rowley has got to be coach of the year surely.

I think you will have a big season next year.

You better believe it we're coming back twice as strong next season 2013 will be year of the Leythers

I said in the post above mate,I think you have had a belting season from where you were,I will put my hat on you being stronger next year. I fear only one other coach in this league mate and its Paul Rowley. He has made a silk purse out of a cows .

Well done

That would not surprise me mate honestly ..We could talk all day about refs etc at our game last week at Fev but in the first 60 mins Leigh were awsome and looked like a side that were not far off the mark,we were rattled make no mistake,you just seem to need that bit more focus/fitness in the last 20 but its not a million miles away...

The sometimes puzzling decisions (I'm trying to be kind here) didn't exactly help us, especially late on, but we can't turn up for the last 20 minutes of a play-off game and expect to win it, and even more so against a side of Sheffield's quality. That said, it speaks volumes for this set of lads that they very nearly managed it.

The ref did play a part and its something perhaps the club might want to speak to Stuart Cummings about in the close season as the last two games have seen us hit at crucual times so it won't do any harm to find out what we are percieved to be doing wrong by Stuarts officials.
I'd say us blowing 3 certain tries in the first half was the actual reason we lost the game though coupled with too many wrong options taken at critical times and Sheffield doing the exact opposite.
That 2nd half ending is something to take into pre season training for next year and use as a building block in what is shaping up to look like a good competitive league next season.

Left attack first half cost us the game, Gardiner was shocking again. Could have been even at HT but I expected a big loss and came away thinking what if.........

We actually took over 1,000 to the final last year. However we had allocations in three seperate stands which made it look daft. You might have noticed us a bit more if we'd had anything to shout about!

Whoz tha talkin to fair lads

did you, sorry. Didn't see last years final, but next week's should be a lot better for you than 4-40.
Still think Fev will win, but you never know do you ?
