Having watched the Sheffield-Leigh semi, Sheffield did look a more than useful side. However, Leigh were absolutely dire! Their completion rate was appalling and they only started to come good in the last 20 minutes. With the money spent on that team, if I was a Leigh supporter I would have been pretty disgusted.

Who's the ref for your game? If they can't find one, don't worry Sheffield have plenty!

Dire Leigh only won a relatively unimportant game (which btw is played over 80 mins) by 18 points. Yup, disgusted of Atherton burnt his shirt & scarf in protest.



Just saying, Lean, Mean, very GREEN Machine.

Great game this afternoon. Some good and entertaining rugby us. Bring on York

Sheffield looked useful for a couple of short spells, otherwise a very good attacking performance against a team that had been going ok this season. Several players had excellent games - thought Jouffret looked really dangerous every time he touched the ball, Tibbs was a revelation- did ok defensively, ran the ball in strongly but most pleasingly ran onto the ball with real pace, final try was a beauty. All the forwards played well and got quick play the balls which helped Brandon play more like his old self. JWH again looks absolute class both in attack and defence- my only quibble with him have the club and him wasted 3 or 4 years of top class rugby by maybe not showing the sort of faith Simon is now. Final word on the pantomime villains the Farrells - not seen a player lose it with the crowd like Joel Farrell did since a bloke I think from Salford climbed into the crowd at Thrum Hall to take issue with a spectator who'd been giving him grief.

Spot on summary , woodburn hall is great only thing is he spends half his time limping around after a collision , you can never tell how injured he is. I remember my dad getting Bobby Goulding trying to climb the hoardings to get to him at thrum hall after we spanked Leeds when they’d blown loads of dosh on Hanley and co , the chant was ‘ what a waste of money ‘ and my dad piped up ‘ especially Bobby Goulding ‘ and his head nearly popped .

Aye, the best performance of the season. Having settled half backs makes the world of difference although there were good displays throughout the team. Sheffield couldn't cope with us at times and Aston's spoiling tactics backfired on him spectacularly. Hopefully we can repeat that level in front of a big following at York next weekend. Up The Fax!

Yes i agree with all of the post match comments so far. Tibbs a real threat in attack and much more solid in defence then against newcastle it would be very harsh to drop him if he can keep up that level of performance. And how woody didn't get man of the match i don't know he was a constant threat with the ball and pulled off some cracking one on one try saving tackles. As fancy as some of sheffield ball movement was they lacked punch through the middle and we looked dominant in that area with all the pack playing there part. And now we move onto york who look a far more all-round stronger side then they did last season so this should be a cracking game which we could really do with winning in the race to finish third which i think will be between fax, batley, and york.

The first half was by a mile the best so far this season. Every player at the top of their game. Woody was outstanding as was Jouffret. Tibbs is coming along in leaps and bounds and looks to have that magic ingredient - pace. All the pack put in a shift and seemed to run with more aggression than earlier in the season. Gwaze must have duracell batteries in his motor. Larroyer rolled back the years and bust just about every tackle. We played heads up and Eagles just could not cope. Second half was after the kings feast. Sheffield came out having had an Aston team talk! Niggled and moaned just like the boss but managed to spoil some of our cohesion. It might be greedy but if we put a whole 80 together we will stuff somebody. Bring on York, time to buy my ticket as hopefully it should be a cracker.

Spot on! The County shuddersfield. Roosters Variation On A Theme 4.3% Mmm!

Onto York.

Not much happened for the first 10 mins and then some cracking plays and movement to sweep in for some quality scores.
A bit more erratic in the second 40 but showed we could mix it in the middle during normal play and when it got a bit tasty.
Got to be pleased with that overall team performance with a hand full of players with mom shouts.

Matt Garside for a 1 match ban. That’s what we don’t need this weekend
