Isn't it just the games at Leigh (recently) that there is a lot of 'BIFF' ? Think the games at Fax between us, are generally OK ?

The game at the Shay last year set the tone for the one at the LSV, but I'd agree before that one. Any biff at the Shay this year would have just been considered to be mud wrestling!

Never been problems before the game at the Shay last year and we have a decent record against all the other teams as I said.
Hopefully this will be the last time this happens, it will be if Leigh get into SL.

I agree but they had to rename it "bash" when they realised that Leigh were participating.

If it does turn out to be nine it would explain why the ref was reluctant to send 3 of each team from the field after the brawl.

Another fight and more cards in a game involving Leigh when they're losing.

There is no link. Nothing to see here

According to the pennine leagues finest Norman Jevons the rule is 4. That's so you can have a front row and someone to feed the scrum.
