Back to the game. I didn't see it, nor did I listen to it. Does anyone who did, have a genuinely independent view of the game,  one that looks at the game, not the ref, not the presentation or commentary, in addition the the League Express coverage?

I watched it as a neutral, Batley Fan.

I thought it was more even than the score suggested and Leigh were only 6 ahead after half time. For me there were 2 main differences. One that Leigh were more physical and aggressive in the tackle,  and made some big hits which wore down Featherstone.

Second, Leigh were far more clinical than Featherstone who missed a lot of chances. However, I felt this was due to the players not being good enough to take them against better players than they are used to. The backs who looked great against Bradford looked very ordinary against Leigh.

Ferguson was terrific and clearly could play in Super League. The 2 hookers for Leigh are also very sharp.

I thought the game was excellent and far better than the super league game on Saturday.
