Leigh were the better side but we have lots to be positive about.

And on to Batley we go!

very pleased with that considering the result, place didn't offer anything today but I think once he settles in and gets used to the british weather he will be fine, but other than that the forward looked strong and at parts in the second half out did the leigh forwards. so plenty of optimism for the rest of the season and especially the warmer and firmer it gets.

Looks like we are all on the same wavelength here. We were very good up front but they just had that extra class and creativity in the halves. Not bad for a set of part timers and teams will take points of each other all over the place this season for sure. (Anybody know why Robbo and Johnstone didn't make the team today?) Well done to Leigh on travelling support and today's result-simply a team that is used to winning week in week out. Stick at it Fax it's a long season and there is enough talent in that side to cause teams trouble.

Didnt go last season due to KH way of playing but got my season ticket again n glad i did. Plenty of positives today against a full time team that were quicker and fitter but we battled hard and showed great spirit. Cant wait for next game, not felt like this for a few years. Well played and lets keep it going and the results will follow

feel exactly the same first time for a while i'm looking forward to games rather than last year where I had to endure going

All sounds positive. Sounds like Richard Marshall is doing a great job clearing up the mess left by Karl Harrison. If only we'd had him on board last year....

I must admit, as a qualified coach myself, I like the way Richard speaks and how he thinks about the game. I said it before, my instinct is he will be good to play for. Our hardest task moving forward could be keeping hold of him.

Anyway, very promising, we won't play teams as good as Leigh every week. Well done to all

You've a lot to feel positive about - good luck for the rest of the season (normal exceptions of course)

Thought our forrads were excellent today in shocking conditions, first half kicking was really poor and we never got going on the back of it. No idea where the hell that ref came from but hopefully he'll go back there never to be seen again. If he'd have binned Barlow for the high shot then the next incident wouldn't have happened, how can he let somebody walk on to what is his pitch and do that first up, grow a pair man.
Lines men were probably worse than the ref if that's possible, complete waste of time and their trainer spent more time on the pitch than Barlow until Bloemy went after him.
Ref aside I enjoyed today's game, after the Harrison years it was a breath of fresh air, keep it up but it's going to be a tough season, league leaders up next I think.

Good pack performance, in the backs Miles was outstanding and young Saltonstall looked the part.
Halves were a bit iffy with poor decision making and kicking game.

For Leigh Goulden, Beswick, Kaye and Worthington were probably the best.

How the linesman missed the Kay try when Brown messed up again in the second half was amazing - having said that they did their best to keep Fax in the mix all game and it added to the spectacle

I too felt positive about the game, really enjoyed the defensive spirit. Couldn't understand the sin binning and how fun fui avoided ten minutes.? What I don't get about Leigh though is, they have some really good players there, have a really good team spirit, so what's all the niggling thuggish behaviour about. I really like it tough and hard, but they are surely better than that.

For me I thought miles was superb and really looking forward to warm, dry pitches to see his best.
