WARRINGTON WOLVES went down 16-12 to the Leigh Leopards at the Leigh Sports Village tonight in controversial circumstances.
The Wolves were cut down to 12 men in just the 11th minute when Paul Vaughan saw a harsh red for a shoulder to Leigh’s Owen Trout.
However, Sam Burgess’ side rallied to almost inflict a remarkable comeback, but it was too little too late as Burgess reflected on the defeat: “I best be careful what I say about it, but I thought it was embarrassing.
“I think there’s a lot of playacting with players staying down and they know what’s coming on the big screen.
“If that’s a red card then I don’t know what we are doing. If that happens in a Grand Final then we will all want a refund at the end of the year.
“I have to ask questions about the game and where it’s going. It’s more of a theatre show than a game of rugby league.”
