6-0 up after 2 mins.

Well, that lead didn't last long.

Looks like a game too far!?

Biggest defeat of the season on the cards!

Shame but that's life. I'm not going to dwell too much on this. Looking to next season now. With all the upheaval we have had we have done well to still have a shot at the top 4. Keep the nucleus of this squad together, let Hendo bring in a few of his players and we will be in good shape for the top 4 assault next season. The younger lads a year older, wiser and bigger also.

Make you about right, if there was a part of the season to dwell on it would be those 3 home defeats in a row ( Dewsbury, Fev, Bradford).
There's been an overall improvement in the second half of the season, we should be able to win our remaining fixtures but we'll need a lot of results to go our way to make the top 4.
Still hoping while its mathematically possible though!

Fax fans whining about distance to a home game. You've got to laugh. That appeared to be their only problem tonight though.

We were error strewn in attack and defence. Start of first half, we score, fail to take kick off and they score. Bizarre repeat at start of second half. Falling off tackles, too much one man rugby and really didn't make the most of a small ground. Pitch length was about 84 metres, why we didn't look for 40:20s I don't know.

Really weren't at the races first half. Improved considerably in second but 20 minutes of playing really isn't good enough. Did we not take this one seriously?

Interesting hole at the top end of pitch in front of posts. Why it's not filled in isn't clear?

Anyway only took 2 hours home afterwards. Six hours back to London tomorrow. Roll on next week.

Looks like bye-bye to the top four, which given that we would appear not to have a ground for next season yet isn't a bad thing. Don't forget that promotion ISN'T automatic, but is dependent on clubs meeting 'certain conditions'. The cynic in me tends to read that as 'if you're not Bradford or Leigh, forget it!'.

I have always had a like for Fax, but a lot of there fans were out of order, all the moans, team with no fans, moan, moan, moan, short memories folks, I was at the Shay loads of years ago for the game the buckets were out to pay the VAT man (or has that been forgotten in the new GLORY DAYS), it only took most of them 70 mins to be positive and give a song for a Mr Danny Jones, tho, still meet some very good Fax fans, remember, the few who did travel got home at 2am, tough being a London fan, tho, where was the rest of the Fax massive, on there game on the road, less than 15 miles from home ??????
