Correct way to smash oppo players down

Well I agree with you soul boy - I wished he was fit and in an agressive mood. Cos the first time he transgressed the penalty would ome our way!
It happens. Remember the NRC 3-4 years back at our gaff when (Armistead I think it was) took Tommy Haughey out with a head shot - flattening him and got the red card?? We went onto win in what was a very tight game!! That incident cost Leight he game that day IMO. I'd be quite happy to see that again owd cock!
Don't give me all that we're whiter than white at Leigh and wouldn't dream of shifty stuff!!! I have seen us getting some right tonk at the hands of Leigh players in the past. That noteable angel Tim Street was just such a love wasn't he!
poop happens! You came second on Friday. On another day you won't. But stop acting like the halos struggle to keep up with the Leigh players!!

Re: Jonathan Pomnall : Mon Jun 25, 2012 5:53 pm  

It wasn't the fact that he came in with a tackle it was the swinging arm and there is no denying he did it, its there on the vid for all to see, as I said a, cheap shot at Pownall who was already flat out under the big lummox

Re: Jonathan Pomnall : Mon Jun 25, 2012 6:02 pm  

I didn't see it like you but c'est la vie.
I just love the emotive language used!! Yet when the two Leigh lads were up before the disciplinary t'other week I can't remember reading too many "CHEAP SHOT" comments!!

It's a physical game. Some players (mainly prop forrads - it's in the job spec) like to 'enforce' their dominance. Sometimes it's our players that do it, sometimes it's the opposition! It's not netball - it happens. On friday we just got the upper hand. Like I said earlier, another day we won't.
But the failure to acknowledge that Leigh players would ever involve themselves in such dreadful shenanagins makes me smile! They have, they do and they will!!!

Love n peace man!

Re: Jonathan Pomnall : Mon Jun 25, 2012 6:14 pm  

Please never remind me again of Leigh's last NRC match at Fev. It was in the group stages on a February night in 2009. Hobson was the man who was meant to have taken out the Fev player. I do not think it was the main factor in our defeat. We also had a man sin binned and had to contend with the small matter of a 21 4 penalty count against us. Incidentally a Fev player wiped out Nicky Stanton in the first half right in front of me and he left the field never to return. I think we may have got a penalty. It was one of the most inept and biased refereeing performances I have ever had the displeasure of watching. Who was the great man in charge? The one and only Jimmy Child. What is even more sad perhaps, is that Mr. Cummins was in the stand that night and we all know how Mr. Child has never looked back. Yet another event that highlights what a cheap joke our game often is. What I do distinctly remember though and I have respected him for it ever since, was RFF coming on this board to say as much. Credit where it is due.

Martin, the Fev commentator is a top bloke. I always have a good chat with him.

Like underthesticks I remember the last NRC game at Fev well....

Leigh never ,wash your mouth out tut

Re: Jonathan Pomnall : Mon Jun 25, 2012 6:26 pm  

It''s a bloody hard game. Leigh have always had a physical side - and we haven't always had it "our own way" when playing Leigh.
I try to be as objective as I can. When Ingy got sent off v Hunslet I thought it was a stupid reaction to provocation that deservedly got him 2 matches.
When Tim got sent off v Batley I again thought - daft deliberate action deserving 2 games. Sometimes it happens - AT ALL CLUBS!!!!
The 'point's scoring or assuming the moral high ground gets a bit tedious when folks are quick to leap on indiscretions (perceived or otherwise) of opposition players carefully omitting from their text that their teams players would be even capable of contemplating such action - when reality suggests otherwise.

Now this Jamie Child thing - I watched us on the wrong end of a 17-2 pen count that same season at widnes. What an hapless kuwaiti tanker she is.

So in other words, we are back to square one with this incident. Leigh did not cite the incident because they never do. The RFL disciplinary must have singled this incident out. DVD inconclusive, so they are saying they basically haven't got the required level of footage to say one way or t'other ( they haven't got a clue) If Leigh can replicate the way that Dickens and England approached this tackle with regularity and go unpunished on Thursday and in future matches this season, I will be very pleased.
