Very disappointing performance from Halifax this afternoon, the second weekend in a row where we have underperformed. The manner of the defeat today was embarrassing, a total lack of effort from all involved, some non-existent defending and clueless in attack. I realise today was only a friendly, however, mediocre performances won’t stand them in good stead for the league starting. It surprising to see the players having such little motivation at this stage of the season, as you’d expect them to be playing for their place in the squad. Credit where it’s due to Leigh, totally dominant and capitalised on all the Fax handling errors and based on today’s performance they’ll be title contenders, however, the ticketing system at the LSV is still farcical.

I was somewhat disappointed in 'Fax on Sunday - they seemed a shadow of last season's side. Still, if you take forwards of the quality of Aizue, Barlow and Divorty out of the mix, the pack's lacklustre performance can be explained to a great extent. To me, you also seemed to miss the likes of Black (Handforth has always been good, but Thackray was poor at Widnes) and beswick.

I guess that highlights the dilemma for all of us - take a few key players out and sides (including us) will struggle.

Here's to more encounters like last season.

The thing is that the team we had out, at least on paper, should have been able to compete with Leigh. The worrying thing is that we didnt even get close to competing with them. The only thing i guess we can take out of it(apart from our enterance) was that we dropped the ball so much that our completion rate was horrific. Now im sure if we kept hold of the ball a lot more then the scoreline would have been closer so personally im not overly worried by the result. From reading a couple of the players tweets it looks like the players got the rounds of the kitchen with Worrincy in particular looking like he copped it, but rightly so, he looks like hes never played the game before and is doing himself a big diservice. Hopefully we can show an improvement against Hudds reserve team and it will give us chance to put some things right.

No pack truly dominated throughout. Need our players back

Up the fax

That would be why Fax struggled to get out of their own half for the whole 80 minutes then Your pack got battered on Sunday. You have plenty of players to come back in the forwards so I'm sure that will help massively but to say that the packs were evenly matched on sunday is just deluded

Yes, it was very one-sided, but on the evidence of previous Leigh v Fax games, that will count for absolutely nothing next time we meet. (Even Widnes gave us a game, third time out, last season! )
