How the linesman missed the Kay try when Brown messed up again in the second half was amazing - having said that they did their best to keep Fax in the mix all game and it added to the spectacle

I too felt positive about the game, really enjoyed the defensive spirit. Couldn't understand the sin binning and how fun fui avoided ten minutes.? What I don't get about Leigh though is, they have some really good players there, have a really good team spirit, so what's all the niggling thuggish behaviour about. I really like it tough and hard, but they are surely better than that.

For me I thought miles was superb and really looking forward to warm, dry pitches to see his best.

Great effort today and we really got on top of their forwards in the second half as they probably tired from the Bradford game. I think if the ref had of let us play the game at our pace in the second half instead of Leighs then we may just have snook it. Was a really enjoyable game and watching that pudding Moi Moi get smashed repeatedly in the 2nd half was great to watch and got the crowd fired up. The difference in the teams was probably the kicking games, ours was poor in the first half and Leighs was top notch all the game.

I thought Greenwood and Saltonstall looked good in the backs and in Ambler and Manning we probably had the best two forwards on the pitch and the rest of the pack went very well. We will get better and better as the season comes along.

In atrocious conditions thought our forwards more than matched theirs.thought we struggled in the halves and was disappointed in Place but great effort and am very hopeful

Good 80 minutes from your guys - they looked fitter than Bradford last week. Full credit to all 34 + officials in atrocious conditions.

Robbo was injured don't know about Johnson.
Great display especially from the forwards.
Bit harsh to criticise Place yet, he will never have played in conditions like those in his whole life. Give him time, as he said after the game "we will get there"
As regular readers will know I like and rate Sam but very disappointed with him today. As soon as he came on he went for Dane, half heartedly, it looked as though he was saying I tried to do him but missed.
As for Charlie's friend Fui Fui, no disrespect but he looked more like Winnie the Pui Pui. Should have had a yellow for that head high dive but apart from that did nothing.
"A fat Frank Frank Watene"
"Your just a fat Frank Watene"
To be honest their that last try flattered them, Leigh were blowing and I would respectfully suggest that if they are full time they get a new fitness conditioner
Need to keep our heads on at times, we kicked through Richard Moore chased and looked not infront but to his right and sidestepped into Pownall. Would have been a tackle five yards from their line and it became a penalty.
Having said that great game Richard.
Incidentally Pownall is your choreographer the same as Sams? You don't need to lay down for an eternity, yes we know you've been fouled, now get up you tart.
Mind you at least Leigh haven't anounced a fractured skull. Yet.
Finally Luke, great game and instrumental in getting the players to come to the touch line infront of the new scratching shed at the end.
Well done to him and well done to the team.
At least we got a bonus point.

Thought our forwards really stood out today. Ambler is immense and shows that we can compete with FT players. Fui Fui Moi Moi was ineffective and I bet Sam is glad as he's not the fattest in the team. Miles looks good at full back and I think with time, we should be up there at the end of the season. Well played lads.

Thanks Alan and I agree with you adding the officials into that.

A big result for us from a massive test. Your line speed in the second half was unreal, though I think Leyth can take pride from only conceding a try off our own mistake considering the territory and possession you had.

No doubting whatsoever about the sin bin. Could see it being lined up as soon as Barlow came in to the line and it really was a late and high shot. Shame about Barlow's reaction but in fairness you can't really blame him when on the receiving end in such a manner.

Not sure where you think Moimoi is a pudding considering he didn't lose any ground on any tackle all afternoon and continued a decent speed of PTB despite the conditions. Consider how many players he attracts in each and every tackle and the space it creates and then think about his value to the team.

Fax will certainly be in the mix - your games against Fev, London, Sheffield, Dewsbury, Batley and the like will be ones to savour I'm sure, and if you continue the backing you had today and the pressure it puts on the opposition and match officials alike then you could pick up some vital points at home.

Mitch's hit on Barlow wasn't high, but it was late and cheap. Automatic yellow. Murrell received the same treatment earlier but got nothing. Perhaps because he isn't a melodramatic tart like Halifax's own Sam Barlow

Such foul play on Barlow should result in impunity for the perp. Or a medal

Think we had the measure of Fufi today. He does attract defenders. He probably enjoyed today's game

Good game

Leigh never looked worried and fax would have been nilled but for Pownall gifting you a try. All in all an easy win in game that in reality was always going to level the teams with the conditions they played in. Was expecting fireworks from Manning but not sure if he made the squad.

Well I was with Andy Gregory but don't remember blocking anyone's path , you should have introduced you self ,as 3 other Fax fans did.

As for the game?I thought Fax played Ok that's all you scored a lucky try from a crazy pass in front of the Leigh posts , to be honest I couldn't see you scoring otherwise,your Pack did Ok but the conditions favoured Fax , we also lost BOTH our centres to injury,I think on a hard dry pitch it would be Goodnight Irene for Fax.

Anyway as I predicted you would lose top spot,which happened,you have had your moment of Fame last week, look where Haven are in the League,also your resident Rugby expert GFB predicted the Mighty Leythers would be bottom after 3 games , watch this space.

On a positive note for Fax , the Hospitality was very good, Soup very nice and a very good Yorkie Pudding and Roast Beef.As Halifaxjohn so rightly says at least you received a Bonus Point







you will receive a few more yet, still l wasn't far off with my prediction of a 10 point win for the Mighty Leythers.It's not that long till the 10th May.
