Hay feels Leigh make it difficult to stay disciplined

Featherstone Rovers coach Andy Hay felt his team were guilty of too many lapses of discipline when they lost to Leigh at the Summer Bash on Sunday.

He also asserted, however, that the Centurions are a team who make it hard for their opponents to stay disciplined.

Rovers had Paul Wood sent off, and Gareth Moore sin-binned in the ill-tempered encounter, while Leigh had three sin-binnings, for Gareth Hock, Sam Barlow and Liam Kay.

“You’ve got to keep your discipline in this game and it’s very difficult when you play against Leigh,” Hay said after the game.

“They push you to the limits and we overstepped the mark and paid the price for it.

“I thought our boys had a great dig to go through the game with 12 men and then when we were reduced to 11.

“We’ve got to take a lesson out of it. Leigh are a good side and you can’t get away with that.

“We’ve got to be better. We play them again so we’ve got to look at our own form now going into the remaining rounds of the Championship.”
