Personally I too would hate that to happen, but I feel grudges are still held against the Bulls and Wakey for sending out weakened teams prior to the MPG last season which (possibly) made it easier for Fax and Eagles to win, costing us over 300k. Hopefully sport wins out over business, and before any Fax fans want to say I am getting my excuses in, it is nothing of the sort. Even our strongest side will have a tough time against Fax showing the form they have of late.

Demon I agree that it should be a good tough game. I am coming over with an honest belief that we can turn you over. I hope that I am right but you never know, I thought that when we played Swinton and Batley at home!

Bit like when Yorkshire play Lancashire

That's a bit of a daft comment given we took over 500 to Swinton last weekend. Why would we not turn up at the LSV?

Fax don't get great home crowds nowadays (over 10 years in the 2nd tier with SL teams in close proximity has seen to that), but a good proportion of our fans travel to away games as well.

Given blocks A and B don't look to hold much more than 600 folk (392 in block B and block A looks much smaller), it could perhaps be a bit of a problem if a few more Fax fans make the trip on Sunday.

We are playing well at the moment but so are Leigh. Unbeaten at home a record they will want to keep intact. Have strengthened significantly and cant see many weaknesses in Leigh team. Kicking game and who makes less mistakes. Hopefully Scott and GM will have kicking boots on. See it been close. going for a score of Leigh 24 Fax 18.

Re: Leigh v Fax scorecasts : Thu Jul 07, 2016 10:14 am  

The only weakness I can see from Fax (Swinton aside) is they're struggling to get points on the board in that first 20 mins.Thats the period where Leigh are strongest at the minute.
If Fax can keep the scores within reach in the first quarter,then its game on!

Leigh 32 Fax 12

Att: 4233

Leigh 20 - Fax 24
Att: 3822

If its any consolation we would probably have beaten Bradford's full team anyway. Im more disappointed that Salford let Bradford win as I believe we might have snook it against Wakey in the MPG.

Well I'm on nights so can't make it but I reckon it'll be Leigh 22-28 Fax, but I'm always way off so don't worry about it.
