we made Dewsbury look poor.

I don't think they needed any assistance to "look" poor. They were poor!!

Dews offered precious little to test the fax defence and in turn Fax soaked up all that Dews could muster and looked comfortable throughout the game looking well organised and did what they had to efficiently enough.
Fax were by far the better team but just how good is difficult to assess against what was yesterday a woeful Dews team.

We'll see. They play us next sunday after we have had virtually no game time because of the weather and having to play Oldham on Wednesday night.
They could raise their game v us OR get another tonking if they play like they did yesterday.

One things for sure, if they play those two at 6&7 Briggsy and Liam will have a field day!

To be honest Dewsbury were terrible and to use that game as any kind of measure regarding the rest of the season really is not realistic. The acid test is obviously how a team competes against quality oposition. A decent win yes,but one swallow does not make a summer as they say

The discipline and team spirit were great to see.
I believe.....
Cheers Karl.

Excellent all round display. Thought Morrison put in a good stint, especially after eyeing up Fozzard from the off. Handforth's kicks built the pressure which had beeen missing under Calland, we'd always try and score instead of turning the screw.
Onward and upward.

Hey nobody is getting carried away but we can wallow in a good performance no matter how bad the opposition were, their pack tried their best but got battered which was a big surprise, they just lacked creativity which I believe was partly down to 2 missing players according to Warren Jowett.
Yer I am sure they have players to come in and will be harder to beat next time there but as our first game up and with some of our players out I will take it who wouldn't?

Ha ha, yeah you too mate, although I think we've met before when I've been with mr. Ashton in the Blue Lagoon bar last year or maybe the one before.

Warren Jowett is a dinasour who belongs to an entirely different era. Just about everyone in RL can see that barring the Dews BoD. Or perhaps they can but just can't afford to pay him off and as there's no relegation they are prepared to stick with him for the season when his contract ends.

Fax were awesome from start to finish!

i cant remember the last time our forwards dominated so much in a game. we literally battered them.

Handforth is just class. Fieldhouse looks brilliant at FB in bad conditions. Adam Robinson is a signing that didnt excite me at all, but he has been i think our best signing. Morrison is an animal!

with players like Sam B, Makali and Ross divorty to come back into that pack we are in for a great season!

Worrincy doesnt get back into the team for me if he is fit next week, as Whitey did everything that was asked of him on a tough day for wingers.

All that with Patto and James Haley to return, and our squad looks extremely strong.
