Fax game : Thu Apr 08, 2010 9:14 pm  

I think tonight despite the final score which flattered Halifax in my view the lads deserve a lot of credit.

I hope it came acroos on tv too, what was pleasing was our never say die attitude and this was epitomised by Danny Jones getting man of match award by tv panel.

Have to say some not all Fax fans were quite nasty people and deluded maybe there was free tickets for the redenecks

This shows just how far we have come in short space of time, well done to all involved.

I noticed there was a row going on behind me, what was that all about?

Fair played to Halifax, they were a little too good for us tonight.

I don't think the score reflected the balance of play and Shickell's try was pure class.

Keighley played well-easily the better of the two sides. Sadly for you, you did not take the chances that came and also you tired the 20-understandable. You deserved easily a bonus point. Well done Keighley and keep the fight going. Even if you do get relegated, you have a team to be proud of.

I can't believe on a performance like that you didn't come away with a bonus point. Outclassed us for a few lengthy periods of the game, and we couldn't even get out our own half without penalties untill late on in the game. Well done Keighley, hope you carry on playing that way the rest of the season. Miles better than that shower Toulouse brought over to play us

Very good performance, we've come a long way in a short time.

That said, we need to keep improving.

Areas we need to deal with?

Silly penalties need stopping
Losing possession in bad areas
The right hand side. I agree with Rach. When Belcher (who looked excellent before his injury) is fit, I would have him back at fullback and Raynor on the wing.
Kicking game: needs improving a lot. We try to score too often off every set. Use the in goal grubber more and get repeat sets.

On a brighter note, despite the fax result, when you look at the tables something is obvious.

Team P W D L F A BP PTS
1 Leigh 6 5 1 0 208 64 0 17
2 Featherstone 5 5 194 48 0 15
3 Halifax 7 5 0 200 196 0 15
4 Widnes 5 4 0 228 118 1 13

10 Whitehaven 5 1 0 90 185 1 4
11 Dewsbury 6 0 0 90 188 3 3
Without the 9 point deduction had not happened we would be chuffed with how we sat.

Great game,thought we deserved a point.

Danny Jones was awesome,loved his kick thru for Andy,genious!
Agree about the right wing,it needs changeing somehow.

Well played to Fax,much faster at PTB than us.Also thought we were lieing on too long,lucky to get away with it as we did.The sooner Scott Law is fit the better.

Great stadium,great people,hope they make it to the Grand Final.

Mickey1920 do not get me started on the deduction again

They did play well and for 80 minutes. You'll be finishing above Dewsbury at this rate. If you finish below TO, just go whine to the RFL for a reprive, they'll let you stop up.

Having said that most of their field position came mostly through penalties, 2 touchdowns looked forward (as well as one of ours) and Shick looked infront of the kicker from where I was stood. However, I'll hold my hands up and admit I'm wrong if anyone's watched it back on TV yet?

Re: Fax game : Fri Apr 09, 2010 8:55 am  

Well done the lads, well done Barry really good rugby and it looks like they were enjoying it. According to someone who watched it on SKY our fans were more vocal as well. I do my best!!!! he he
