Would not be surprised to see a ban incoming for Brad day for that tackle. It didn't look great, defender poor head position. Probably a red if its a Sky game.

Said at the time he'd have been in trouble if there was a video referee.

In related news, I'm glad I don't have to watch Jack Smith referee very often. Absolutely no idea what a forward pass is or isn't.

Cas should ease to a win in the second half, downhill, but that's a good effort from Batley in the first half. A good cup tie this one.

Good game, Fev bit unlucky

No, which in itself is ridiculous.

Surprised and well done them 

[Loiner]

What a pleasure to watch Leigh v Fev this afternoon, cracking game and wonderful presentation from The Sportsman. Hands down better than last night's utter dross on the field and off it.

[Snowys Backside]

Fev with 32 start was a steal. Never going to be an easy game.

Been nice if it had been at home but happy with that and our 3 tries,expected a far bigger score from Leigh to be honest.

How could the TV cameras miss out on the Cas' coach going back to the ground where there is an actual Craig Lingard Terrace ? 

[Northern Eel]

Cas score after 2 mins of the 2nd half. They should be a bit more relaced now. Long way back for Batley.

BBC Radio Leeds are covering it if that interests you:

Another hammering for Tony Smith, will he hang on to his job? These Smith's seem to have the knack.

What start did Hull get ? Didn't expect that regardless of how poor Hull have been.

The Robins will certainly be licking their lips at the prospect of inflicting a 3rd consecutive 50-point drubbing on Hull...

Yep. Generally refereed OK I thought but at least a couple of odd forward pass calls, one allowing a Leigh try and the other stopping Fev in their tracks for no reason when building momentum. Overall though Leigh just has a bit much for Fev and deserved the win.

Really looking forward to seeing the Fev v Wakey rematch next Friday. Wakey will need to be right up for it and ensure execution is spot on if Fev can reproduce that performance.

Yeah I agree, Leigh won the battle in the middle but we kept in it with some long range tries. We were our own worst enemy when we made it into their 20 and never really built any sustained pressure.

Odd that, I'm listening on line and the teams have only just come out!!! Going to shut this down now and listen "as live".
