Could hardly hear what was going on on the Mixrl thing but from what bits did come through Fax were poor with the ball and coughed up too much possession and Leigh were stronger, faster and much the better side.

Fev are firmly back in the mix with a thumping win over Batley today so we will have to be back to our best for next week, not only for the points but if we lose RFF will be all over us like a rash

Only joking Robin.

Yes I struggled to hear what was going on, switched over to the Leigh offering, we lost on that as well.

Can we cough up as much ball again next week? If we do we'll get what we deserve, we need to play at the top of our otherwise there will be no room for complaint.

Re: Leigh today. : Sun Jul 10, 2016 9:54 pm  

Oh dear we got well and truly tonked today, we were outplayed and looked a long way behind Leigh who were quicker, sharper and a really good team they need to keep that level of performance when they get in the middle eights to have any chance of getting into SL, only trouble is they will not get as much ball given to them as we did today by SL teams we gave Leigh far too much cheap ball, knock ons, silly passes and just poor play.
Some players were poor today no names mentioned and I am a bit alarmed at once again being bossed in the middle, whether we get in the top 4 or not we need to BEEF UP OUR PACK next season.
We need to improve next week as top 4 is still in our hands but Fev had a great win today so it will be tough.

BIJ I ws very disappointed with Fax today ,I was with a few Fax fans before the game ,and they genuinely expected Fax to win today,Our pack was very good today and look at the players we had on the bench the difference in the quality was there for all to see.Tangata and Calahane might have been your stand out forwards this season , but we bossed then throughout the game, for me we could and should have put 70 past you today, the gulf was that big, however I will be at the Shay on Sunday , good luck.

Blimey some of our fans must have blind faith as nobody I knew thought we would win today, most like me thought we would lose but not like we did we did not do ourselves justice today although Leigh were very good and too quick for us.

Just seen on Facebook that Richard Moores partner has just given birth. Might explain why he didn't play yesterday.

You cant blame some of the Leigh fans acting like cocks on here really. They must have been really smarting from the hammering we gave them in the 8's so to get one over on us like they did yesterday they must be cock a hoop. Best just to let them enjoy the moment and then see how we go if we make the 8's and then look to catch them up a bit next season.

My comments would echo much of what's been said.
- Fax can rise to play well for the odd game or two, but can't put the performances in week on week on week
- this is no surprise with the squad of players we have who are all limited in ability at the top level but have big hearts, so can- like lots of underdogs- put in the odd special performance.
- full time squads clearly have the long term edge, if they are managed and coached well. The pace of the game yesterday killed us.
- Leigh once again have a squad that could do well in middle eights with some luck - especially if they can play like that every week.

Fax appear to have found a natural level, 15th to 17th best league team, so question now is how does the club become one of the 11th-14th best clubs. We need to develop a Stratergy for this and our BOD need to explain to fans what it is. Otherwise it will be back to shuffling our squad with other championship squads players, in the hope of comming fourth again.

That's better than failure, but can someone at the Club please explain where it's trying to go over the next few years and how it is going to get there. The BOD appear silent and there also looks like no real off field leadership.

Ben Johnson's first try and the chant-we forget that we were here... otherwise totally forgetable day.

Re: Leigh today. : Mon Jul 11, 2016 9:38 am  

I think we need to put yesterday into perspective a bit. Yes we were poor and gifted Leigh possession and territory. But even without that I think they would have beaten us comfortably. Leigh were on fire yesterday and I don’t think anyone would have lived with them on that performance. But with the squad and calibre of payers they have this shouldn’t be surprising; let’s be honest they have a number of players who shouldn’t be earning the easy money in this league, Mickey Higham and Corey Patterson in a particular. Patterson was class and tore us apart.

If they play at that level in the middle 8’s I think they have a real good chance of making it this time, although the down side for them is that the quality of the SL teams could also be better this time.

Agree with this.Finishing in top 4 this season then adding a couple of players for next year and staying part-time is not the answer.
