Fair play to Fev....end of match interviews seemed to suggest they wanted us in the final. Not sure whether that's because they see us as the team they're most likely to beat or whether their confidence suggests they'll beat either of us and they'd prefer to win a harder route?

Either way, confidence seems high.

Tomorrow is hard to call but if we do win I'm looking for a bar in Sham El Sheik with a Premier Sports subsciption if anyone can help. Premier Sports won't tell me due to 'Data Protection'. I said that I would have thought that if someone is paying for a subsription then surely they would want to advertise it. No reply yet

My alternative is to delay my flight from Saturday to Monday and meet the family a couple of days later. Someone asked me today if I was hoping Fax lose tomorrow....no way!!

I think we all want you in the final, for a few reasons:

1. You'll fill the place much better than the DeeDars will and the atmosphere will be awesome

2. We want to beat the best

3. We owe you one from 2010

Good luck tomorrow

We want Fax because your fans make for a better atmosphere; And its now time to put our squabbles behind us and make for a great final; The majority of your posts are very much appreciated;

I'm up for a few beers and a laugh with any fax fans who want to get a round in (that is providing you get there of course )

Sam Smeaton competed for the ball but could't just quite haul it in and knocked it dead in goal.
He immediately put the breaks on and instead of ambling back he sprinted like hell to get back into the defensive line.
Leigh did a 20 meter restart as quick as they could and moved to ball the there left and guess who was involved in the next tackle, Sam Smeaton.
This was a seaming insignifcant play in and amongst many others but it sums up the team spirit of this side.

He was 5 yards offside though when they tapped the ball.

Fev are doing more forward passes than the NFL, disgusting, the refs in this league are sheite!!!. Watching it on premier sports, holding and niggling in tackles all the time, teams are going to have to get smart and play them at their own game.

Bring it on then sunshine get a coach that isnt stuck in the 70s and try it

Powell has merely copied that Aussie bloke Nathan Brown and brought an unpleasant feature of the game down here to our hallowed competition.

The only way to play against this type of niggly cheating is to either cheat back (which we at Fax would NEVER do because of our high moral principles) OR nobble the referee before the match. I'd go with the second option.

If Fax played that style of rugby i would stop watching im affraid, Each to their own but i find it slow and boring watching laying on tactics, Dont get me wrong as a fev fan you are winning so thats all that matters but as a neutral i find it boring, I much prefer the faster game which was supposed to be the way the game was headed and at the begining of the season the RFL brought something in for the refs that was supposed to speed up play of the balls, Look at the NRL, Fast flowing big hitting Rugby league.

Must say though your line speed is awesome at the moment and you dont need to slow it down so much.

Having said all that tonights game will be one man mud rugby if it goes ahead and will be poor viewing, I hope Karl has come up with something new this week. We will wait and see.
