I'm pretty sure they will stuff the dulls today. I heard from a very reliable and well informed friend that the dulls will be fielding almost their reserves team today to protect their players ahead of the Middle 8.
I expect that Leigh will go full strength because of their ego!!!

Come on lads , it's not that long ago , you were a ' country mile ' in front of the rest of the Championship mere mortals

Like us you've suffered for a couple of years but the sun is again rising on the Fax horizon , and I doubt you'll find a true Leyther who isnt glad to see it

We are putting out our best today apparently , but not through ' ego ' , just our policy of keeping our momentum and hopefully a winning mentality

The 2 forwards taking kicks have Been Fui and Emmitt in the last couple of minutes at games well won and haven't Been anything more than personal ' in jokes ' between the players

Similarily our DOR Dereck is larger than life and can be loud and defensive when challenged , isn't that what most Championship fans would want of their owners when dealing with ' over enthusiastic ' ex SL personell ?

We hope our season ends successfully , and would love to see Fax emulate that success next season , even quite possibly trying to remove us ( if we are fortunate to achieve this years ambitions )

All the best , we'll try to soften up the Bulls for you

I hope Leigh do do well. They have shown that the Championship can produce full time teams that challenge SL. Isn't that what we all want, to put SL masters in their place and when the time is right for us take that next step to full time and challenge the top tear as well.
Good luck the Leigh and stuff the Bulls today.

No - not really. I'd prefer them to retain some small level of dignity and respect.

Obviously, Lancashire's different .........

Starbug here ( for a final time )

You mean like Mark Aston ?

Totally agree, I'd probably say that we had a touch of arrogance a few years ago and this is sometimes what is required to give you that edge over the opposition.

Hopefully Bulls get hammered today with a strong squad out and we win and can kick on next week.

Fax v Leythers, if it happens, should hopefully be a cracker.

UTFAX

And yet you would love to have him at Halifax (or somebody similar) who is prepared to walk the walk and bring players in like Hock, Higham, Fui, Dixon, Pala, Weston & Paterson whilst growing attendances and bringing through hundreds of kids on free ST.

Whilst doing this he has every player in is corner, playing for him & Rolls and making life in training and after games fun, thus attracting other quality players yet to be revealed.

it wasn't that long ago I would look at your team of Penky, Beswick, Royston, Black, Branighan, Barlow ETC and be a little bit green eyed when you would spank us regularly, BUT times change, so you you either get an owner/board that move with the times or you sit back and moan about others success.

Whilst its happening I will enjoy every minute.

Yes, that's right.
