Seems a good, competent first performance. We could have thrown that one last season when they came back at us second half!

What are the positives those of you that saw the game?

Slightly off thread but it took place today . Thought at ht they were done for trailing 20-6 but great credit to Leigh storming back and winning 36-24 v the Bulls . Impressive stuff.

6 sin binnings and the ref from Leigh.
But a good comeback and hopefully a hell of a tough game before next week.

Re: Today : Sun Feb 15, 2015 6:24 pm  

Bradford seemed well on top. Leigh have grown accustomed to winning, Bradford the opposite. Probably 2 evenly matched teams but Leighs experience of winning shaded it. Sounded a cracker, and Leigh have set a great day example for matchday 1, that we all have to follow. There is little difference between Leigh and Fax as clubs, and we should look to try and emulate their progress. A great day for the Championship.

Have your digs at the rfl all you want about the complex structure. But (on the evidence so far) they have created an enthusiasm for British rugby league which has been missing for years, throughout the professional game. I applaud Leigh, and I applaud the rfl

Charlie was very happy with the Leigh Result and happy to hear Fax had won , I love to hear from a happy Halifaxjohn and I know Bentleyman will be smiling , Happy Days however from tomorrow its WAR between Fax and the Mighty Leythers , for the next 6 days , so let tomorrow let battle commence .

We will arrive in good numbers after todays result and hopefully it will be a very entertaining game , our Pack is Stronger than last years , as im sure the Fax pack is the same , can wait for Sunday , see you all then .Charlie knows . .

Aye, It's called promotion and relegation. We used to have that before you know.

Just got back from Whitehaven. Off thread as above, on Leigh game, looks like a cracker. We heard at Haven that Barlow got thumped again? Also heard Leigh were behind by 20 -6 and started a dishing it out again.That's us ,Leeds last season and Bradford this season. personally I think they are a good side without resorting to these tactics. No team is whiter than white, including ours, but looks to be the start of a common theme when the chips are down!
Todays crowd just over 1,000.
Mozza dictated at 6 though is still lacking that pace of the mark for a 6 but more than makes up for that in class.
First 15 mins we just blew them away and played some expansive rugby that I have not seen for a long time.
Young Saltonstall showed some great offensive touches and Tommy S is going to have to up his game to get his wing spot back on that performance.
Our forwards won the ruck area on attack .
Steve Tyrer left his kicking boots at home though to be fair, as we shipped the ball from wing to wing, we scored a lot of tries out wide.
Brown looks like a similar style replacement to Rob!
Robbo was devastating outwide.
Ben kay looks to be a confidence player who likes to be the No 9 main man and his play positively reflected that.
Miles will add some go forward this year and is a great finisher.
Great touch at the end when the players came over and gave a child a rugby ball they signed straight after the game.
Whitehaven look to have a long season ahead of them.
Fax top of the league at least until tomorrow night !!!

Well Freddie. The main positive we saw was playing as a team rather than the one up stuff from last year. Some good individual performances, Saltanstall, Moore, Robbo, not forgetting Worrincy with two good try's. He looked a different player from last season to me! Grove, shudds. Oakham JHB 3.8 % Mmm!
