Reaching the play-offs is our realistic target and avoiding the drop should be the main strategy right now.'"
Yer right now but they are playing on confidence, come on the scoreline was pretty even until our heads went down after that bombed try and then stuff came off for them like that flick out of the back door which could have gone anywhere come on. Yer we will not be in the top 3 maybe 4th or 5th this year is my guess as I still have question marks over the way the team are coached, why take Penky off he is not a forward he does not need a rest surely? He did cause them lots of problems, yer he loses his head and throws out silly passes but it becuase he is trying too hard.
We lack punch at Prop and in the centres,.

I wondered what happened there. Looked away and when I looked back there were two Leigh players flat out and Aizue standing over them, it did seem impressive at the time.

| Without Penky on the pitch you looked dire. With Penky you were twice as quick in attack. Leigh's pack was on top all the way through despite missing a few props.
All in all Leigh were nowhere near as clinical and disciplined as we have been in other games this season but still looked in no real danger of losing the match. Fax played decent stuff at times but still seem incapable of stringing together 80 minutes of decent rugby.
Had a great day and enjoyed chatting to a few of the fax fans stood nearby. Still convinced you will make the playoffs this season.

| My honest opinion is that I think we only played for 15 mins of that game full stop. This was at the end of each half when Leigh were tiring and concentration had switched off as i also feel the scoreline flatters us immensely. Leigh looked like scoring every time they hit our 20 and played a neat compact game completing their sets etc. We looked lacklustre in defence and blew good try scoring opportunities by playing dumb rugby. We were in my opinion pretty awful today and in the 1st 20 mins lacking any go forward from the pack. I think it's going to be a long long season and worry fans will switch off and be turned away. I hope not but I am concerned at our inability to compete right now.

Aizue did catch Duffy, but it did look in
part accidental. He got twisted in the tackle when Duffy was coming in.

| I saw Duffy stagger off and then bury his head for ten minutes. I applaud these tough RL players. Bloody fantastic gladiators - the lot of them!! Respect.

Ands thats whynon of the leigh players ran in protesting, becasue he got twisted in the tackle.
On dif note, i thought Paul White was the weekest link today, twice in to touch, how many times did they score in his corner, The sooner nash and Goddard are back the better
Also, we looked far better with Penky on the pitch, is it time to play him for 90 mins!

We aren't top of the league, just unbeaten.

It's because we've played good rugby so far this season. It's not a fluke that we've beaten Fev, Fax, Barrow and Widnes in the league this season. We've also done Batley, shef and Widnes again in the NRC.
I think the scoreline flattered you today. You scored 2 late tries by throwing the ball about when you had nothing to lose. Nothing wrong with that - we did the same against Barrow away last season. The fact is that fax weren't good enough today and looked cack when Penky was off the field.
Leigh were strong in defence and bombed chances in attack.
FWIW, I think we'll lose against Fev on Easter Monday too. But I'd rather be where we are right now, with the teams we've played, than where Fax are

| Good thing for us is that IMO that was our worst performance of the season so far, cant get and worse.
Fax need to play Penky for the full game as he looked dangerous every time he had ball in hand...... White had a shocker and twice ran into touch without a finger being put on him, Azui had a good game except the incident with Duffy and Holroyd put the fist into a few tackles which isnt like him TBH.
Fax will make the play-offs easy this year.
