If you've got a problem with Ben have a word with him. Don't come on here slagging his playing ability. You're making yourself look daft.

I don't think Ben's form in the second half of season replicated
what he had produced earlier.That's not mean't as a criticism just an observation and i expect him to come back even stronger next year.

Shocking pathetic post (sounds like football forum esq) get behind the lads nobody deserves slagging off this year.
Yes we've come up short so far in the 8's but its not want for trying and there's still 3 matches left!

Even as a Leyther I applaud you at Fax

everyone has done very well , I think your Coach will rival Paul Rowley for Coach of the Year,I admit I was wrong only predicting 7th spot as my Mate Halifaxjohn delights in reminding me

again well done..

Obviously ,Charlie didn't know..

Ian, it's not your fault you're a Leyther/Lancastrian. You can't help where you were born. Some of us have the privilege to have been born in Yorkshire. Some like yourself haven't. Get over it mate, you can't change it! See you on Sunday.

The Grove, Shudds. Durham Magus 3.8 % Mmm! Up The Fax!

You will defiantly see me on Sunday,as for where was born?It was Firs Maternity Home,in Leigh, I'm a born and bred Leyther proud of it , though these days I'm a Butts Bridger, as was the great John Woods.

Why do people insist on putting "defiantly" these days when they really mean"definitely"?

Sorry Machine, my spelling is terry-bull.

I have to agree with that comment and once again it's not a criticism. I wouldn't want to criticise anything or anyone after finishing 4th, although (having never played the game) I don't understand why Ben seems to go into every attacking run with his head down as if he's a yard from the try line.

They looked to be a few guys off the pace Saturday and what with injuries and players playing out of position the tank looks to be running on fumes at the minute. Hopefully we can keep going right to the end but it shouldn't take any gloss of a memorable season.

To finish on a slightly negative note, one concern for me is Saltys propensity to royally feck up on a fairly regular basis whether it be poor carries or brain farts........one for the gaffer over the winter to sort out maybe?

I felt he made up for his error in the sky game with a fabulous finish in the corner. I have to agree though, he's made a few cock ups this year i.e. giving penalties away with ball in hand but he's a raw talent and we shouldn't try to coach it out of him too much imo

Re: Heaton. Maybe the fact is contract expires and with Smeaton coming in, he is a little sluggish in the Qualifiers. He had improved under Marshall but I think he had peaked.

I don't know, would he make a second rower as he can tackle the less mobile players and can sniff a try near the line. Have any of his 12 tries this season been over 30 metres?
