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.

Love the reaction from the Fax fans, our pack missed Sarsfield, Spencer, Acton, Aspinwall & Dixon and yet we continued to roll down field through your middle unit.

Our backs played like it was mid-july, Fui just kept coming and finding his front as did the rest of the forwards and Riddy kicked Fax to death, I have to say Fax looked like they wouldn't have scored in a brothel with a suitcase full of tenners!!

What an absolute w--ker, a great game and yet you lower yourself to that tripe, let us know what time your visitors are allowed in.

Cheers mate you arrogant barsteward, the scoreline flattered you , yes you were the better team but by not the margin most people would have predicted and was testiment to how much better we wil be under RM this season I look forward to the away fixture

Well, first game in two years and thoroughly enjoyed it. Conditions were like watching a game in the 70s/80s. Kept expecting Brendan Hill to come off the bench!

As for the team, great defensive effort and great fitness to keep going against a full time team. I actually thought we looked the sharper towards the back end of the game. In attack, too few options, suspect kicking at times and too many errors. However, we all need to remember they are a new team and it was clear to see they are still getting used to each other. As the season progresses I think a few teams will get a thumping from Fax as the plays gel and I honestly believe they will be in the mix barring unforeseen disasters (like HKR players on the teamsheet ).

Leigh deserved the win but only just and their scrum half really dictated play at times. Winger Kay, very quick and good foresight for some poor positional play by our winger and fullback at times. Still, strong performance from Fax. As for the ref keeping Fax in the game, seriously!! It will be interesting to see he penalty count. Laying on in the tackle to slow play down was infuriating and high shots galore. FuiFui who is a Parra legend of mine was lucky to stay on the pitch, so just be thankful the ref was wearing red rose tinted specs. He has piled on a few pounds since last season at Parra though, must be all that lobby he is eating.

Anyway, enjoyed the day despite not getting into the Three Pigeons due to a six deep, heaving mass of Leigh fans at the bar (scary, nightmare inducing sight and strange aroma ) and having to go to the Railway instead, where the beer incidentally is fantastic. Jokes aside, Leigh fans created a good atmosphere, something sadly missing from many games so good onya. Next game probably in a couple of years when hopefully we will be giving Wigan a tupping!

Happy with that today from our lads a good effort in terrible conditions which I think probably suited us more than them lets be honest they have a good backline. Our forwards matched their pack and once again in the last 15 minutes on a heavy pitch we still had something in the tank to keep going. Some of our backs did well but our half backs disappointed, our kicking game was very poor too many down the throat of their fullback or centre and lacked creativity.
Leigh are a good side but like many winning sides they don't like it when teams get one over them like that great tackle to put one of their players on his backside they flew in and whined at the ref who accepted it was a 'good hit' and let us play on, eventually.
