When a supporter like you Bentleyman posts that, people should wake up. Fax and owt below SL are slowly and deliberately being allowed to drift into oblivion and those complicent should be ashamed. What our BOD are thinking is beyond me. We've just had a great tournament at Siddal with loads of young boys representing our town and proudly wearing Fax colours but we all know where the best lads will end up. The thing is though, without clubs like Fax there will eventually be no pathways to the top as the clowns in charge of SL/IMG hope for in following their quest for having an Australian system over here. Just take a look at what's happening to the amateur game to see the future. How do we change the course the game is going? All i can say is something drastic needs to happen and maybe a breakaway by non SL clubs is the way forward. A season or two of playing each other half a dozen times might bring the 'big boys' to their senses. As for the 'haven game we've already beaten them comfortably in't cup and i would expect a 'home' win by twenty. Up The Fax!

Crookes back in the squad- while I'll be surprised if he plays this week great to see him back as his return would massively strengthen whats consistently been our weakest part of the team all year

Without being totally convinced based on our season so far but just starting to feel we are slowly turning the corner I’m going for Fax to start the game with 110% commitment from the whistle and have the energy to stay in the game to the whistle and have the attack to rack up a decent score and get the points.

What a strange game. That first 30 minutes was abysmal and for all the world we looked like a team that had given up. The try before half time gave us a glimmer of hope and then we came out and blew 'haven away with some great trys. Once again Joe Keyes orchestrated the play but also a special mention to Charlie Graham who is proving a real asset to the team. Up The Fax!

Another Groundhog Day game that like many others before had moments of head shaking here we go again and attacking speed and brilliance in equal measures.

2 crucial points on the table at the end of the day but with an attendance of just 911 given so not sure how much that game will have cost the club.

I think that game summed up where we are as a side right now. Some very poor and passive defense in the first half, and the turning point for me was when Whitehaven 14-0 up put a early kick in behind McComb who slipped they had 3 men waiting for the ball to kick up but it never did and went into touch if they score there they go 20-0 up and for me game over. Thankfully from that point on we scored a cracking try just before the break and then ran away with the second half. Maizen did us a favour by dropping 2 high kicks which lead to scores and the rest of the scores came from some good line running and support play. We next face the Eagles who gave us a good hiding on our own patch so i would take any win from Friday's game. I could see them racing into a 30 point halftime lead and then we comeback to 30-28 with 10 to go before they seal the win with 2 late intercept scores to win 40-28.
