Fax are an exciting team to watch at the moment and I am sure that other teams spectators (if they are being honest) would agree that we do play exciting rugby. Let's not be too critical of the style of play because it is bringing us success and we don't want to stop the momentum we currently have.
Well done lads, don't stop doing the thing that we are all enjoying ................ WINNING!![/quote]



I didn't intend to be over critical but I do think there are times when we try to score on the first tackle when we would be better advised to set up for the set, having said that we are playing some exciting stuff which I'll happily turn up to applaud, but we may not always have the luxury of the comfort zone that we had today

Let's leave the analysis to MC and the crew and lets all go with the flow and enjoy every moment of the Championships "entertainers".

COME ON FAX.......we're loving every minute of it.

I knew you'd bite at that one, I was only joking. Of course I get as frustrated as the next man, but let's enjoy the team for all it's skills and individuality. It's not perfect but it is good.

Just watching the Club Challenge and some of the Leeds plays are in the Fax style and they aren't always coming off but when they do they look good.

Top effort by the lads today considering the small pitch, not being cocky but we still have room for improvement imo, when we cut out some of the silly passes and more of them stick we will destroy teams.
Sheffield tried hard they came at us quick but we held firm most of the time, we are a much more solid team this year.

Enjoyed the macth today - but we didn't look as potent with Dana and Cherryholme in the front row.

Looking forward to seeing Wrench being given a run out on Wednesday (hopefully) with Dave Larder.

I thought that Sheffield were poor, but maybe they don't take this comp that seriously - felt sorry for Gibbo on the kick and chase - did he take a dive or was he pushed over?

So pleased with the way the defence is shaping up this year, really put bodies on the line at times. Thought the passing was a tad erratic at times but hey if the defence is there you can afford to risk it. Still (pessimistic hat on) slightly concerned with goalkicking though, James does ok but he's not a top class kicker lets hope it doesn't effect us this season. Great showing overall lads though, definately buried the ghost at the Don Valley.
