Leigh Leopards rejected Hull at 22-22, but go to the top of Betfred Super League | Rugby league news
Leigh climbed to the top of the Betfred Super League table as they maintained their undefeated start to the season with a pulsant draw of 22-22 with Hull FC.
The sides could not be separated after 80 minutes, as both teams ran in four attempts at the Rollercoaster competition at the MKM stadium.
Aidan Sezer had the opportunity to take advantage of Hull’s 19 seconds of normal time after Lewis Martin dived in the left corner, but his conversion to a touch line hit a second time in the match to send the game to Golden Point.
In the first five minutes, Golden Point did not break through, but there was a controversy when Lachlan Lam re -launching the second additional period was collected by Hull Center Tom Briscoe and his foot was in touch. However, Video Judge Jack Smith said the decision was unconvincing.
Lam had two efforts for a goal that was well blocked by Jack Ashworth and Brad Fash, and the other broke up while both teams continued their promise in the early season with a well -deserved division.
Leopards clashed on Thursday as one of only three teams with the perfect record after three rounds, but failed to make four of four, although they took the lead on three occasions.
Jed Cartwright and Fanitas NIU have achieved early attempts before Captain Hula Sezer and the Jordan Rapana Center were in a fast succession for high fighting in David Armstrong to reduce their home team to 11 players.
Umyla Hanley moved shortly after to put visitors 12-6 on a break before Harvey Barron crossed the hosts in the second half.
Armstrong’s second half Booded Booded Herman Ese’ese before Martin’s late heroes once again pulled the home level to earn a point, in which Hull climbs to the fourth.
The hosts took the lead when Cartwright from another rower passed through the void in the ninth minute.
The sezer hit the post with the conversion, but Leigh quickly responded to the level four minutes later, and Lam orchestrated a great shift down the left edge to make Niu Bulldose over the full Bek Logan Moy.
Gareth O’Brien hit the post -convert, but he added punishment when the sezer was sinful for violating Armstrong.
Rapana joined his captain on a touch line after grabbing Armstong with a high shot.
Hanley started in the next play, and O’Brien added accessories to extend the lead to eight points.
Jordan Lane landed a sentence to reduce the deficit to 12-6 on the break, and they were at the level in the 51st minute when Barron collected a sezer hit field.
However, the visiting side struck almost immediately when Armstrong broke through the defense of black and white to move to the left corner, and Bailey Hodgson turned to the movement of Leigh 18-12 in front.
The hosts drew the level when the esse’es broke into printing points, and Sezer was adding accessories, before Armstrong returned the lead to Leigh with another result in the left corner.
Lam missed the conversion to make a four -point game that has started nervous for the last 10 minutes and has proven expensive because Hull is even with the remaining 97 seconds.
Martin dived in a corner for loud shouts of home support, but the sezer once again hit near the post by his conversion lines to send the match to Golden Point.
The controversial decision of the video by Judge Smith was aroused by the home crowd, but the fans broke out when Ashworth and Fash explicitly blocked the lam’s efforts on the fall because two teams played the event.
