I was one of the 4 and I went with the expectation of us winning. We've been playing well and they haven't hit their straps over the last few weeks. They only just beat the Bulls. Unfortunately we played the worst we have for a long time and they were on fire!
Dave , the Fax fans I spoke to are all very knowledgable in terms of Rugby,your reasoning for expecting a Fax victory were spot on ,we DID only just beat the Bulls the week before , and we're not playing that we'll, which is why even I expected a tougher game.Sometimes a team does play like we did , I remember only around 3 or 4 years ago turning up at the Shay and Fax put about 60 points on us, I left the Shay with a coat over my head, these things happen.
When we next play each other I fully expect a different Fax and a much closer harder game,I felt the Fax forwards never threatened the Leigh line,and Murrell and Moore didn't create much either.I do look forward to seeing you again, as you do have an unbiased opinion,and are not frightened to say what you see,good luck on Sunday ,should be a cracker of a game.
