Important win! Good news is Batley, Sheffield, Dewsbury all lose today. Leigh got lucky at the end with a try in injury time. Hope the win gives the team some confidence and hopefully a few more will come down for the next game at The Shay

Leigh got lucky with a try in injury time did they? Didn't think we had injury time in RL. It does make it sound better for you though if you say it like that
Leigh had and easy penalty to draw the match but chose to take a tap and scored a try...........that's confidence for you ;0

Great win and great performance! Outplayed them for most of the game

and at 14 up with 10 left I thought we looked comfortable!

Please please please play for the full 80 Fax!

Hopefully that will give is confidence and the boys can go on a run now.

The results today show how close this league is gonna be this year and Leigh by the looks of it are not unbeatable.

Need to get some fans back from somewhere though!

Have we got a marketing team?! Cos if we have they need to pull thier finger out and really push the next home game.

Well don Fax. Could and should've been 4/4. The season however is alive and kicking!

Re: Well done Fax : Sun Mar 09, 2014 5:55 pm  

The worry for me is that in every game now in the last 15 minutes we have looked tired and the opponents have been scoring more than a point a minute. Have the players been doing much fitness and conditioning in the Pre Season?

Re: Well done Fax : Sun Mar 09, 2014 6:26 pm  

Well we have won at last against last years Champions with all their big guns playing.
Our ability to try snatch defeat from the jaws of victory needs some work on both re fitness and learning how to close agame down. However, I will take 5th in the league having played some tough sides early on.
1300 gate was poor though. Won't help us to pay for new players-loan or otherwise I'm afraid- to help improve the team.
Get on a wiinning roll now hopefully and start to attract a few casual spectators back.
Well done Fax-some good tries sccored and not all 5 drives and a kick!!!!!!

Re: Well done Fax : Sun Mar 09, 2014 6:43 pm  

Played really well in parts, kicking game and line defence apart, and really good entertainment as well. Just the boost to kick on and get on a roll now. Got to say though, ginger had his usual hopeless display. Anyway as wife said spring has sprung and let's hope Fax are on their way! Grove, shudds, Thornbridge Wild Swan 3.5%. Mmm!

Fax lost their way when Murrell was substituted. His organization and kicking game were 1st class today.

Re: Well done Fax : Sun Mar 09, 2014 7:15 pm  

Enjoyed that . Entertaining game . Some good tries and just more passion. But for the fourth time in a row I will mention again about conceding late tries. It's got to be about fitness ; we just cannot play for the entire 80 mins but hey ,let's enjoy a bit of good stuff coming out of the Shay for once.

Re: Well done Fax : Sun Mar 09, 2014 7:16 pm  

Heart attack job. Need to sort out that last section of the game. Could have denied Sheffield a bonus point but lso could have lost!! All in the space if ten minutes!!

Much more entertaining today. Looked organised and they looked like scoring, unlike against Batley last week.

Baby steps.

Strange I thought Murrell had one of his poorer games for us today kicking wise but was all over them in defence.

Good performance though and showed what we can do. Looked a bit nervous at the end but Sheffield are probably still the team to beat in this division and certainly are the best attacking side so I thought we handled them quite well.

Some big performances today and we looked good with players in their correct positions. Fieldhouse had a good game coming back in and Manning filled in brilliantly at centre. Ste Tyrer looked real class today and was a treat to watch. Ive no idea why Fev want rid of Saxton but their loss is our gain and I would have him over at least one of their wingers. Johnston again looked a different player this week. The lad has quality about him and just needs to back himself like he did today and caused Sheffield problems all afternoon. Thought the pack went really well with Robinson another with a point to prove having a good game also worth mentioning Ben Davies who I thought had his best game for us.

The pressure was on today but the players stepped up which was good to see. If the group of players stuck together I could see us been pretty good in a couple of years although I feel we might just fall short of the top 2 we would be a good bet for the grand final.
