I don't think our Dave ever takes offence at anything to be honest, unlike his brother and I

Just watched it thanks Fred and Mennel was right to be sent off. Nanyn was borderline to say the least but Stuart Donlan should have got 10 mins for holding down right under our sticks just after the Nanyn sinbin. Our pack was exceptional in that game and they all deservre a big up.

I thought our player side stepped him so he just threw his arm out making contact with his head ,personally didn't think he meant it ,just a reaction ,i'm not defending the issue just don't think it was meant .I haven't yet watched it again so may change my view.

Nice to see an impartial match report.

Unfortunately, that isn't one!

i don't think its like that at all, i reads like a pretty fair reflection of the game for me.

Not too bad a match report - the one in League Express is far more biased! Anyway at least they do put a match report on their website. Why don't we? It would be good able to read a Leigh biased report for a change when the referee has obviously arrived on the visitors coach. And talking of refs. Ganson made some very dubious decisions both ways again yesterday. Also the winger didn't tackle high before he was sent off - he took a deliberate swing with his fist. It was in front of us.

your not for one second suggesting that the ref was one sided in favor of Leigh are you?

Don't mind the ageist comments, however I do mind some of the comments/songs coming from a small group of our fans, who finally shut up when several people told them too.

All clubs are going to have to police their fans better as the RFL have launched a new Textline service with each club having its own phone number for fans to phone with their experiences at games. These should be displayed clearly at all the grounds. Didn't see it advertised at Batley though.

I agree entirely. Not heard that nonsense at Leigh for a while and was disgusted to hear a few others join in that chant than the original idiot with the mullet. It's a complete embarrassment and we need to get these people banned from our game.

I have to say that our fans are angels now compared to what I had to listen to at the Wire vs Wigan game last week.
