Watched the game on TV, Leigh by far the better side as expected, apart from indiscipline (again) I see no reason (apart from Bradford) why we can't go unbeaten this season.

Hock, for me needs a serious attitude re-adjustment, quite obviously short of some grey matter regarding afters, but obviously a great rugby player.
If only we could tame the 'over aggression' into harnessed aggression, he would be indispensable, but at the moment I feel as though we are better off without him.

Still, 26 straight wins is really something special & barring Leeds, I think we are standing at 40+ straight victories.

By the way, if you were there today, you really couldn't hear anything but Leigh fans & I so much wanted to be there.

Are we unbeatable, at the moment I don't think so.

To be fair to gareth hock, yes he did have it on him today but in recent weeks he has also been the peacemaker at times so give the lad a break. He needs to be given a bit more time. He needs to be given more credit at times.

I think Fev were allowed to get away with all sorts today and it was the lack of the likes of Ben Thaler or another good ref that caused the indicipline. I'm all for the game flowing but when there are hands and elbows and afters at the play the ball that are unpunished from both teams then frustration sets in very quickly. All the rubbish should have been stamped on a lot earlier in the game. The first problem was when Liam Kay was dragged into touch when his ball carrying arm had clearly hit the ground and there was no further movement. The tackle was complete and it should have been a penalty or have the rules just changed. I will say this again but I am now pig sick of the forward pass tripe and our first or was it second try was a mile forward from Ryan. How can the refs expect the players to behave when there are so many injustices being commited right in front of their noses. Joke, joke, joke.
It's alright saying that they are profesional and should play to the wistle but enough is enough. THa t rev today could not keep up with the game for me. The Championship is at a new level and so should the refs be.

Amongst numerous errors from the officials the worst one was not showing a yellow card to the indisciplined gobbin for his petulant slap. If he had shifted him for a deserved 10 minutes the game would have been much easier for him and would have been a game worthy of being the finale to a good weekend rather then the mess it was.

Re: Blackpool away : Sun May 24, 2015 9:29 pm  

I thought we did enough to win and the sending off ended the game as a contest.
It was a tough game to ref as it looked an undisciplined Fev team early doors (clearly trying to get a reaction from our players) however the Ref didn't stamp this out which made it a scrappy niggly game with the inevitable red card.
Just before the red Fev got warned and then the next tackle we had Brierly taken high/late , maybe a yellow then would have helped keep it 13 a side later in the game but next play the ball its another cheap shot and Fev are down to 12 men and the contest over as a spectacle.

Thought the MOM was Brierley with Beswick or Higham not too far behind.
Wilkes gave another brilliant performance and McNally despite the usual attention hit the line well.
Thought we went for the wonder score far too often and maybe a more steady but skilled performance as per Wakefield 2nd half would have been more appropriate although I felt Fev never gave it up (although the constant stop start would have helped them), at times we looked a bit jaded but it was probably a tough match to play in with the lack of rhythm.
Great atmosphere from a big Leigh following and another win against one of the teams who will be battling at the top of the league come the end of season.
Happy days.

Well said Jenky, totally agree with all that. Weak refereeing ruined the game.

So he didn't get any help from the players, he ruined it himself?

If he had been sterner with the players earlier then he would have nipped it in the bud instead of letting it escalate like it obviously did.
