| OK. latest is 44-14.
Crikey ................... and we're supposed to take today seriously. Obviously i haven't gone today so can't comment on the performance. KH was never a fan of friendlies when he played for Fax (he used to duck out of most of them) but i do hope we don't limp off at the start of this campaign like we usually do. Fev have shown that there's no allowance for early-season losses especially when they themselves only lost two all last season
We've a team full of "stars" and i hope they're not going to be difficult to manage. I remember a couple of season ago - Matt Calland really rammed home to the players a thoroughly tough pre-season training work out and it backfired - they were knackered before they started.
It's only a friendly but a lacklustre start to the season will only dent the attendances from the outset.
Caution.

| Rich as you say it was only a friendly and we cannot read to much into it, but this Leigh side shouldn't be took lightly this season.
Good luck for the season mate.

| Whole new team and will take time to get things near right while the Leigh team has mostly been together despite last years problems. You also have to remember that Aizue, Divo, Sam Barlow are out. I expected Fax to take time to gel due to the amount of changes both playerwise and Coaching wise- It takes time. My concern is the defence and Discipline as the same problem still seems to be there. Anyway its not how you start but how you finish and Fax just need to look at Leeds and see how they did last year. Well done Leigh and good to see you will be a major threat this year again after last years problems

With teams like Featherstone we don't have that luxury. Gotta set off like a rocket to grab that top spot.

Talk about being bitched - what a torrid time they've had. They'll be looking for some A&E rest time for the next three years at least.:simpsons/PDT13.gif |

Don't know how many new players you had out today but Leigh had 8 in the 17 that weren't here last year plus Bibey who was out injured for the majority of last season.
But as some have pointed out, it's not how you start but how you finish as we found out last season.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

| Dissapointed in Fax today, when Penky went off everything slowed right down, no spark from HB, but early days, so we'll just have to see how things progress

| 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.

icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?:icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg |

It took about 3 mins to get mine and that was 10 mins before ko.Maybe we should be aiming for less than a minute?

| Surprised at how lacklustre 'Fax looked today. But, thinking back to the last two seasons, we've had big victories at yours, and then been 'tatered' at home by you.
So, we all know to expect a different 'Fax, next time we see you. Looking forward to the usual cracking games with you guys.

Look, I know it was a friendly and I know that we can't read anything into the result. (or can we) but, I still feel short changed. Two friendlies now where we have left feeling let down. We go, we pay our money and we should expect a better return for our money.
I'm sure it will come right, in Karl I trust but, I don't feel as confident as I did before a ball was kicked.
See you all next sunday tho'
p.s never again moan about the bar prices at the Shay, Inside the ground £3.50 for a Magnums. What's wrong with that you say, it was a 330ml bottle. Special offer a pie and a pint £5. Ran out of draught so it was a pie and a 250ml carlsburg. Still a £5er
Not exactly going to get on those prices.

I have to admit that I don't like this no names on shirts.
With so many new signings it's often that we say who his he?
In fact the only player we could name was Worrancy,
Due to the fact that he wears orange boots.
No disrespect intended but how did his brother get man of the match. It was Beswick by a mile. (Matt Callands country mile)
p.s We knew he was Rob's brother because he too wore orange boots.
I feel a ban coming on.
