What?!?!

No doubt for me.

The law says definetley would have, he was a long way from the ball with a Salford player coming in closer to the ball.

Im not sure on that as a penalty try, there was 3 Salford players in the frame that could have got to the ball before the Leigh player

So don't foul him to stop him getting near.

  Why no yellow card for Watkins? 

[JohnM]

It's completely Salford's own fault. ..started by Sneyd stupidity, reinforced by Watkins.

I like that decision, think the fouled side should get a bit more benefit of the doubt than they often get, when it is a blatant foul to prevent a try. Regardless of this made-up idea that the attacking side must have been odds on to score.

Agreed.

That doesn’t automatically make it a penalty try

Watkins  should be made to wear a dunce's hat.

Its a penalty try or a yellow card i believe

Nothing makes it 'automatically' a penalty try, it is explicitly about the referee's opinion.

I agree those are often not given but as I said my opinion is they should be.

Briscoe removes Williams from the battlefield

You would have to change the wording of the law.

It's because he's usually whistling.

Ryan Brierley MOM for me.

Second to Jake Mamo but I understand they can't give it to him.

Centurions, Leopards…it’s still Leigh

Leigh Aims

Aim 1 Win

Aim 2 Draw

Aim 3 don't get embaressed

Aim 3 met.

Leigh have done alright, Salford are no relegatio fodder side.

[DavidM]

Amone binned and will have to see out the game sitting in a tree

[Old Frightful]

Stoopid upending ends the game.

Sneyd slots over the penalty as Leigh end up with a player short due to a sin bin.

10-20 full tarm.

Maybe Josh Addo-Carr could have made it to a seat before the hooter. Tom Amone, less likely.

I think Leigh showed they will be solid enough compared to many newly promoted sides and they will be better than their previous SL sides.

Actually the law doesn't say that:

the Referee may award a penalty try if, in his opinion, a try would have been scored but for the unfair play of the defending team.
