I don’t think Leigh have appealed anything, more than just prove a point that under the current rules, the attempted tackle wasn’t illegal ? Was it ugly? Yes Is John Wilkin Ugly ? Most definitely. It will be interesting to see what the ref does next as I can name a good few players ( and one in particular who plays for Saints) who can tackle just like Asiata. I think the game is cleaner as a result but still a lot of work to do.

RL Challenge Cup Quarter Final Draw :

Leigh gave HKR a good dig in that game in 86. We ran away with Div 2 that year8 and I went to that Wembley final with the Leigh Juniors lot. Hard to believe Rovvers lost that game with all the stars they had in their team. -
RL Challenge Cup Quarter Final Draw :
Snowys Backside replied to Old Frightful's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
I remember a very poor Leigh side going to HKR in Feb 96 and nilling them. Was it 24 nil ? Played the mighty Bradford Bulls in the next round who lost in the final that year to St Helens 40-32. I cant see past a HKR win but stranger things have happened and it is cup Rugby. If it was at LSV, we may have a better chance but too many injuries. Saints, Wigan, Cats and HKR in the last 4 -
Good Friday RL triple header

Proper game !!!! -
Blew my coupon this one. I thought London might give it a dig with 30 start but folded like a deck of cards. Lack of gaining yards, not winning the ruck and running out of gas will result in some blow outs unfortunately, but like Leigh a few seasons ago, may shock a few towards the end of the season.

Ok, Everyone looked shell shocked that he put the ball over the line but the ball carrying arm wasn’t grounded although you could deem the momentum was. The online call of the ref needs to stop and let the VR make the call. Every single person in the pub I was in (and on Sky) couldn’t see a DM where his ball carrying arm was grounded first before he reached over. I will look again later but I think the VR had a pie in the oven !
