Well done Ref as well for making a good game more enjoyable.

We have had Tim Roby a few times this season and he, in my opinion, has had some good games. For some reason - frustration probably - Leigh fans didn't like him last night. I don't think he dropped many balls, had any passes intercepted, or missed a single tackle! I didn't have a problem with him, and neither did 2,000 Leythers when we stuck 50+ up Widnes, with him in charge!

.......so quite alot if you think about it tactically!

plus when penky got sin binned at fev we scored two tries

Very good selective editing. My reply was to your original post which you have neglected to add in the quote I see.

Just suffering from the same parochial myopia all fans go through when your team is up against it...with the benefit of watching it back on the tellybox, you realise that those calls you were screaming blue murder for were in fact right... the passes for Banno's try and donlan grounding behind the line spring to mind as those most vehemently disputed last night

Well done fax!!

I was so close to having a bet on you lot to win but wife had laptop!

Having Nobby it was only a matter of time, won't get those odds again.

Best of luck for your SL application you have a much better chance with Noble being there.

Hopefully the RFL will expand SL to 15 and you will get in.

Having watched the game again , I was really impressed with the defence - it really was awesome. They forced Leigh to go through the middle . The line speed was excellent. I also think going forward we weren't particularly good. Jones's try was superb while bannister ran a good line but , the good thing in my opinion , is that thre is so much more to come when we spend more time in training working on attacking plays

Pardon?

I thought going forward - that first half was easily the best we had been all season. The main reason was we didn't force the pass, we built a platform and as a result some of our set plays came off. Overall that's was the most controlled performance we have had for ages. And when we did turn the ball over a few times in the 2nd half, we never lost our shape in defence.

Re: Leigh v Fax : Sat Jun 04, 2011 9:10 pm  

Better late than never but WOW what a performance, terrific.
Yer we got a couple of lucky breaks but we forced Leigh into error after error and they panicked because they could not handle us.
Thanks lads, lets keep this up and beat Hunslet and the the big one, beat Fev and get to the NRC Final.
On that performance we can do it.
