Fri 16th Feb: SL: Leigh Leopards v Huddersfield Giants KO 8pm (Sky/SL+)

[longboard]

Man bags.

[Old Frightful]

Nowt wrong with that but the Leigh players use it as an excuse for a bit of handbags.

[Just Browny]

We have unfortunately created a situation where it pays for all 13 men on the defending side to appeal like a cricket team after every tackle.

[Old Frightful]

Jack Smith brings the captains together and Chris Hill does all the talking.

[DavidM]

Refs right about players running in when they dont like something . Often to get the game stopped so the VR can come in

Chris Hill may be having a breather shortly if he doesn’t shut up 

[Old Frightful]

Great try for Charnley, I doubt any of the thirty odd screens will show a problem with it.

[Ullman]

Steam rising from the packs, plenty of biff, jumpers for goalposts.

Loving it.

[Old Frightful]

Zak Hardaker's turn to see if he can get it over the limit  bar...

There'll be a bloody dog on the pitch before too long.

[Old Frightful]

Jack Hughes lucky to get away with that.

I was waiting for him to be chased and turn it over before doing a Zak joke.

Delete where applicable.

Oh you did.

[Just Browny]

Some extraordinarily soft penalties in this.

[Just Browny]

Amone and Hill should have been in the bin already for the moaning.

[DavidM]

Moylan went off im sure but the commentators didnt think it worth mentioning

[DavidM]

Wow ref has his hands full here

[Just Browny]

The producer certainly bought that dummy.

[Old Frightful]

Hopefully it will settle down but the refereeing of this game seems to be having more of an effect than the players' ability and also the main talking point.

It's the players who are causing the issues but the ref needs to find a way to stop it. It's a shame because they are two tough well matched teams.

[Old Frightful]

Did he really just say Leigh are having most of their key players at sixes and sevens?

I thought all teams did that.

(Hull FC excepted, obviously)

The players need to get a grip and concentrate on playing the game. The penalties & errors are down to them not the match officials

What does he do? He’s tried speaking to them. He’s tried penalising. Basically he needs to become card happy as they aren’t interested in playing and seem more focused on messing around. 

[DavidM]

Pretty poor game pretty poor commentator . Refs doing his best its the players at fault

[Old Frightful]

I'm sorry but that incorrect ptb on Adam Swift was absurd. He simply got shoved off the ball as he was playing it.
