Well not only did we take them to the final hooter we only went and won. A big pat on the back to Simon and the boys for producing that effort. And like others have said we made that a bit harder then it should of been but i would of bit your hand off for that result before kick off. It just goes to show you do not have to play the perfect game to perform well and we looked a lot more like a team this week with and without the ball and hopefully this will give the team the confidence to kick on this year. The only downside to yesterday is i heard Ryan king as asked to be released from is contract and is set to return to Whitehaven if this is true it is disappointing and he will like others before him need replacing.

Cheers! Even if it was through gritted teeth. icon_wink.gif

That's was a great win for Fax if for no other reason than it hopefully kick starts our season. As has been said the basis of that performance came on the back of a much improved display by our forwards, but the introduction of Tom Inman was pivotal as well. We must find a way of getting him more minutes on't pitch, he ups the tempo every time he comes on. For me Matty Gee was the MotM with Salty and Walmsley not far behind. Was Keyes fit?I'm not sure but we got the job done and can now build on this going forward. Up The Fax! King's Head shuddersfield. Magic Rock Ringmaster 3.9%Mmm! icon_biggrin.gifRUNK:

Now confirmed that King is leaving, sounds as though there were things going on in the background that influenced the decision and players performances to date. Looks like he may be going back to Whitehaven- sorry it didn't work out for him here - definitely feel we need to bolster the pack now.

By way of a contrast to Springer and King.

Both Walmsley and Jouffret joined from Whitehaven and after one game at Batley were left out.

They were told why, knuckled down and look where they are now.

That’s down to players attitude and coaching ability.

Someone who falls in between is Cory Aston that started well, dropped off and dropped out, came back in and contributed to winning us games but when he was told he would be behind JK and LJ at least had the decency to wait to the end of the season before he moved on.

Regardless of if your a forward, halve or back the same is asked of every player here, some will stand up and be counted, some will stand up and walk out and the club will take the former over the latter.

Watch this space for a potential replacement.

Totally agree. I made him my m.o.m .
Created one try and saved three. He is a pleasure to watch and has truly found the position that allows his talents to flourish.

Also enjoy deciding how many times he will be injured in each game and then rise like Lazarus to put someone away.

Was happy I was able to watch online at home. I have not been to P O Road since was herded into a corner of a stand. As if I was a violent hooligan! I used to enjoy the atmosphere there but they will never have my shilling again.
