| Great performances by the championship clubs so far this weekend with 3 out of 3 against the SL. Come on Fax, make it a FULL HOUSE which could also drag the whinos into the million pound game Come onnnnnnn. Up the Fax!

London and Toulouse seem to have really kicked on which makes our performances all the more disappointing. It almost feels like we are due to put a performance in as for me we have not done nearly as well as we did at the back end of the championship season. Leeds are really poor this season so I guess if we get within 30 points of them we will have done ok but to get closer than that would be impressive.

I was that the o e the week before we played you in the playoffs and sent a reserve side, could. It back it up the week after against the full Leeds side. Remember the 70 point thumping we gave you the season after.
Actually miss Hall fax in super league thought they were going to be our big rival after the bulls throughout the new millennium, shame neither are at the top table, but looking forward to our little no overdue visit back to the shay.

No mate, he went to Australia earlier this year and has signed for Fev for next season.

Could be another thumping today as well to be honest, we were defending quite well for the bulk of the season and had a problem scoring.
Now we seemed to have dropped of in defence but still can't find the try line.
As last year it does really start to show to accumulative effect of the effort taken by Fax as a part time team first of all to get into the top 4 and then to be competitive especially against the full time SL sides, the boys get all banged up.
At least we will have a bit more income from the game.

| Today is a strange one for me. As much as I yearn for Fax to do well and return to the top flight, it just feels like another inevitable hiding-to-nothing again. On that basis I just cannot bring myself to go watch us massage the egos of a team who are (or were as once was the case) basically as big as us if not slightly bigger.
The rugby in our league is far more watchable and the 8s much more exciting than the 'Super 8s' or whatever is it called however to be anything other than top flight is simply galling after ONE bad season then 'close the door on the way out as you will not be allowed to return'!! as effectively did happen.
The game is a MESS and promoting the ghost-train that is "expansion" [ironic and sad smile] is just hammering more nails into the sports coffin.
Ultimately FAX need someone with money and whilst NPD are doing a fantastic job, we need someone who has blue and white blood in their veins accompanied with either a large cheque book or a huge talent for generating wealth/income.
Sorry to be negative guys and who knows - a miracle MAY happen but the way people are saying it is an 'honour' to be playing Leeds just leaves me feeling sad,desperate and reflective in equal measure.
Good luck and I hope you enjoy....

Ahh ok, was a good kid, but maybe a bit too much like his dad as he got into adulthood, used to play with his dad, who is a bit older than me, And Morgan used to watch us play and play touch with us as a kid.

Yes, had a few of us thinking he could be a good player for us, a bit of pace and a good pass but didn’t show consistently enough in the early season friendlies and reserves for RM’s liking so decided to move on.
I think Fev will be a good move for the lad and wish him well.

For me we never looked like getting a result. We have noone really who looks likeley to make a break, and if they did nobody to back them up.
You can't fault the players because most of them try their hearts out but the spark is not there to light the fuse.

| At least they enjoyed our singing and said it was a great atmosphere. Also said our ground is definitely SL ready.

| We desperately need the likes of Gregs Florimos Boots and Casandra to get involved in running our club because despite stating the bleeding obvious they obviously know how to run the club better than anyone else.

| I listened to the game on Radio Leeds, it seemed apart from the one bad error in the first half Fax gave as good as they got. Going in at the half all level did the think the job done?
In the second did Leeds up the pace? Did Fax feel they had them contained?, were the boys physically worn out? it sounded from the kick off in the 2nd Fax were on the back foot permanently, and again some strong forays in opposition territory petered out into nothingness.
It also seemed Fax were trying to strong arm and were on the wrong end of a hefty second half penalty count, bad habits resurfacing?.
Overall I thought the guys probably gave their all, as the end of the tunnel approaches were some on jollies?, others on goodbyes?, or genuine fatigue. ( I do think every player has given everything they could to wear the blue and white this year).
I trust R M and his team have some revelations in store during the close season as Fax need to kick on , that of course will rely on the BoD being in fine fettle to guide from the front.
As always m h o o.

| as a club we need to deal with the obvious. Number 1 is half backs and attacking structures it would be nice to see close up how close Jones was to a try. Because for me that was a game changer
