the late shot to McNally when on the ground.
Cant wait to watch the replay of this, i thought as long as a player isnt tackled then hes a free target as long as it isnt an attack to the head or anything stupid with elbows and the like.
A few things that i thought stood out. Allowing the Leigh player to move off the mark at the play the ball in the first half leading to their try. Wasnt a penalty so he had no right to move the ball backward and should have been penalised. One of our trys looked suspicious but the one we had ruled out looked ok so swings and roundabouts there. I dont think Leigh made it out of their own half in the second half without the ref piggy backing them up field. One pentalty was especially galling, the one where we were done on the last tackle when the Leigh player dropped the ball. We went from having the ball on half way to defending our own line. Fair enough if we were offside but after 20 minutes of the second half he stopped giving offside yet Leigh were constantly offside when we were on the attack. Now im not saying we wernt but we just want some consistancy, i mean watch Duffy when he was on the field, im not sure he made it back on side more than 5 tackles the whole match. I thought in doing this the ref let Leigh back in the game just to make a game of it. The Mcnally knock on was just laughable. He drops the ball over his shoulder yet we again get penalised and Leigh are marched up field. I was shocked when he gave the penalty to let us even up the game but then again we only got the obvious ones all afternoon.
Im not in the slightest bit surprised Rhino went mad after the game.
