Btw, I think it will be close between Leigh and Wakefield, with the 2 points start the bookies are giving Leigh looking around right to me.

A bit of advice though. Mixing it might work in the Championship, but if that's the way you go in this one you'll get shown up big style. Stick to what you do best (I hand it to you that your general passing and movement was far better than Fax last weekend) and you have a good chance.

I want Leigh to win for the honour of the Championship, but if Sam is playing then it's Wakefield all the way for me. Any player that spits at opposition fans is beneath contempt and deserves a punishment in equal magnitude of all the players of both sides (put together) that were red-carded last weekend. A butt is a butt, but it was done in the heat of the moment by Tom Armstrong. Sam had 10 minutes in the dressing room to plot his actions at the start of the second half.

You're correct there, but only in part I think. I noted a few Fax kicks that set off with back-spin, but somehow managed to kick forward when they landed rather than putting the brakes on. The LSV looks to be a great playing surface, but perhaps it reacts a little differently to what's expected for those not familiar by playing on it every week?

Fax aren't far off the pace in this league (Sheffield game excepted), but just can't do the business at the crucial times. We had enough ball when it was 10 v 10 to win the game, but didn't have the guile to spread the ball and find the gaps with so much space to go at with 6 players missing from the play.

You're right, fax should have done damage with the amount of ball they had and amount of space available. In the end, Liam Kay had the pace to take advantage, and make the decisive break, which led to Beswick's try.
