I think that fine is unfair. The ref WAS poor and clearly out of his depth in this game. 7 yellow cards and a mass brawl? Those are not events which suggest that the ref has control of the situation and a ref who has lost control of the match is a poor ref

It should have been the ref who got fined.

This is the RFL, they can do what they want to clubs and individuals without penalty, however, when you voice your opinion about them or Red hall lookout.

I like the comments attributed to Mr Lowes by the T&A. In particular the bit about having a word with the ref at half time. I wondered if he was suggesting that someone else may have done..........and who that might have been.

Says the RFL investigation into the off field events will be concluded in the next fortnight. Given that sweary Derek was dumb enough to unleash his potty mouth on a live radio broadcast I can't wait to see how red hall spin it.

Some of the stuff Lowes got up to should have seen him sine die imo, very lucky to get away with a tap on the wrists imo especially after sending his players out with such a thuggish gameplan. Its common knowledge Derek has tourettes and consequently further action can be deemed discriminatory against that disability. Soon be Christmas

Cool story bro. Thing is you can say whatever you like but it's clearly garbage and totally unfounded. Beaumont on the other hand isn't clever enough to realise that doing it live on air kind of proves your guilt.

Well Derk's clearly not all there as he's describe Leigh as a "sleeping giant".

Just wait till the wake up though!

I imagine he's not a morning person.

What another season of failure in superleague? I'm trying to work out what Leigh's major highlight's are but that's the only thing I could think of. Given that I was born this side of the war.

Their best player since the war ended up with us - though I will always remember his astonishment at getting a fast pass from the scrum from Terry Holmes at Swinton

- He dropped it

"especially after sending his players out with such a thuggish gameplan!"





























Leigh do that every single game, as well as cornering the market on signing known thugs.
