Well done to the Miners!

Another game of two halves as the saying goes, East were comfortably in control in the first half and seemingly heading for the title winning victory. After the break Miners upped their game to dominate the half and took the spoils in the final minute.
Miners probably deserved their victory but were helped in their quest by a couple of crap decisions from the officials. The ref was poor throughout the game but it seemed impossible for him to miss the knock on before the deciding try, the young TJ had a good view but bottled it. Add to this a marginal forward pass for another Miners try and a dubious double movement for an East disallowed one. This only my opinion of course, I will give my final decisions after the TV replays .

I hope when you do watch the game again take your blinkers off and pay particular attention to the first 20 mins and the penalty account against the Miners.
Dont try and make excuses for the East defeat they were beat by a better more committed side on the night and to say otherwise without giving full credit to the Miners is disrespectful and shows a distinct lack of knowledge of the game of rugby league.

I'm guessing from your user ID that you are a fellow referee. Do you not think you should be encouraging your fellow officials instead of calling them "crap" and saying they "bottled it". It's hard enough keeping young officials in the game because of abuse from spectators and players. They don't need it from so called colleagues

East didn't have a try disallowed for double movement.

Who rattled your cage, unlike you I have no attachment to either of the Leigh teams and at a guess I think I have watched about 10 home games of each team. Where did I show disrespect to Miners, would "upped their game", "dominate the half" and "deserved the victory" be your interpretation of disrespect.
The first twenty minutes were scrappy and the ref was over fussy after that it was an enthralling game of rugby, the fact that you don't agree with my opinions doesn't make me worry that my knowledge of the game is less than yours.
