Leigh v Fev was absolute disgrace. Both clubs should be fined and docked 4 or more points each. Won't happen though.

C'mon London!!

What was probably with leigh and fev? I never watched it

I'm glad you asked Micky.Cos I don't have clue what he's on about.Fev came with a tactic as most do these days.Fev lost the game and also took their tactics home with them,no doubt to bring them back when we meet again.

Leigh & Fev, what was it - 8 stoppages for players running in to push each other? Ridiculous. I was hoping it would be a good game to finish the weekend and it was dull. Unless you like handbags.
Ref should have binned Hock for the first event and maybe a game would have happened. As it was, everyone decided they needed to show they weren't intimidated and it degenerated.

I watched the Leigh & Fev game on TV. It was really tedious with all the stoppages. I don't mind a bit of a dust up, now and then, but I could not be bothered with it. I turned it over well before the end and watched the cricket. .
Gareth Hock each time he comes onto the pitch, is an accident waiting to happen. He doesn't do his team or the sport any favours.

IMO the ref had no hope. A few players on both sides were just up for a scrap, Hock being the leading culprit but not the only one. It's a great shame that he's degenerated from being a skilful and effective player with a few too many rough edges into just a bunch of rough edges.

It will be interesting to see what the disciplinary makes of it all next week.

If you recall the last time Hock was at The Hive he was sin-binned for starting on the young,taller than average hooker,Cunningham,on dual - reg from Hull FC.( Credit to Cunningham he stood his ground)

Against Featherstone it was the youngster Baldwinson,on loan/dual reg? from Leeds.

I suspect he will start again against one of your youngsters.

It is like watching the grass grow with Leigh,and their 'style of play' is coached so well it appears as natural as grass.

I hope all goes well for you on 7th June.

( Then again in the Middle 8's )

That's not 34 Leigh players cited.lol That includes the opposition.

I see a common factor. Can you guess what it is?

Strike ONEaaa!!!

So anyone had any revised thoughts on how middle 8 might pan out, I reckon wakey salford Def other 2 either both hull teams or KR and widnes
With leigh Bradford Sheffield then god knows, if we make it in it will be on a good run but reckon we would maybe finish 6th in that comp, I still think wakey will come down but could be Bradford or Leigh. Salford will be a tough nut for any championship team but already lost to leigh so who knows

Lot of twists and turns..Will Salford have a team left? Will the Wire be there? Wakey with Tony Smiths brother now at the helm!..Not many games left for all.

Will Leigh be there? I'm hearing the rumours that were talked about a few weeks back are about to be realised. If what I'm hearing is correct Leigh won't be in the top 4, nor will 6 of there players be playing rugby for a while.

This has come from a player in SL. (Don't shoot the messenger!)

Actually a few months back. And your source isn't a SL player.If you could back up any of the claims you make,I'd be the first to hold my hands up.

Seeing you don't have those facts (or not willing to post) your post is irrelevant.

Really do hope those rumours don't come to fruition, it is a bit of a double edged thing tho if the allegations turn put to be true the RFL have to be seen to act and be hard to show re rest of the sporting world it deals with it properly. On the other side they are probably the team most capable of proving the 8s system is a good thing taking them out of the running would send gutters into a frenzy of excitement

Well I think we have already seen this season how the RFL deal with it ie: Fev.

This is a good learning stem for you,as come next season when your firing on all cylinders,they'll come hunting you.

Only if we cheat

No,only if you win.

Sorry mate if I really hope there is nothing in it but if there is any foundation in the rumours then no sympathy all the wins count for nothing

Me too, hope its all talk, however if not, I hope any penalties are proportionate, two guys taking banned substances, should it really cost the club itself, the rest of the team and the fans everything they've been striving for?
