The announcer apologised at half time for the 'mix up' with Lizzie. She came out at half time to do the draw, but unfortunately, half the crowd were away getting beers or cucumber sandwiches in hospitality, so we were not able to show our full appreciation to her and the twins.

| I thought Fax played with good intensity and targeted quick play the balls with forwards using power around the ruck. It was quite effective, however I didn't think you offered enough when your forwards tired and the tactics had to change. Both sides gifted tries to the other, and the difference for Salford was a very good kicking game and having a lot of pace in broken play. I thought Cobb reffed it well. Salford were more canny with how to slow the ptb, and the tactics that Fax employed demanded quick ptb's so it's not hard to see why Fax fans thought Cobb wasn't reffing well. Even so, Fax won the penalty count 7 - 6 so there can't be too many complaints. I think a couple of quality outside backs could really see you go well next season. You've certainly got a really good pack to build on and I don't think you're far off.
Best of luck in your remaining games.

| As a tv watcher it was played at a very slow pace in comparison to the other 8's games - PT ref?

| I know this won't please some Fax fans , but we are simply not good enough , to concede 50 points to one of the worst teams in SL , they were without their main player ,is not good enough , nobody at Salford has scored a hat trick this season , they come to Fax and 3 get hat tricks.
Our pack did OK , I thought Mitch , Dane , and Tangata had decent games , but our backs were woeful, I know we played a few inexoerienced players , but Tyrer and Heaton must be the Heaviest centres in our League, not fast enough,Salty had a decent game as did Muzza who tried yo gee up the team , but we may now not win a game in the 8's , next week we will have to improve as Leigh will be desperate to win.COYFAX.

Oh come on, there is always going to be a gulf between part time and full time teams, you have to just think how Salford will have spent the last two weeks preparing for this game against how fax prepared by going to work and training several evenings. I for one thought it was an entertaining game as we pulled back to within 6 points. The biggest difference was the lightening pace they had on the wing. As I have said previously it's still a successful season if we stay eighth.

| There was only one Championship club that ever got mentioned as being capable of getting promotion and even they got trounced by Salford. The other 3 were completely under the radar. All we've learned is that SL clubs have better players and that their regular season has prepared them better as a team. Nobody really expected much more than a respectable performance and Fax didn't fall short by much.

| Really disappointed with our defence yesterday, switched off too many times and got punished. We're better than that. We gifted them too many scores.
Trying to find positives, I don't think were too far off, a bit of extra quality on the flanks and in the halves and well be fine next year.
Salty is making too many mistakes at the minute and I think Ben Heaton needs to keep switched on for 80 mins.
Robbo tried his best but was chasing shadows for much of the game, Adam Tangata played well, never stopped trying and deserved his MOM and try.
Theres a few lads that might have found SL pace a bit too much to handle and have gone as far as they can.

Agree, would also give Ben Kaye a big wrap. He tackled his heart out and his go forward was good too

Jeez we are a Part time team that has one of the smallest budgets in the Championship that has passed all expectations and made the top 4. Of course we are not good enough against FT teams! We were also missing some key players and down to the bones in certain positions. Also this is hardly the squad that RM has wanted. Some players are clearly not up to the level required. RM and his coaching staff know this and will be no doubt looking to bring in better players if they can. The team has done brilliantly and even if they have been found out a bit in the 8s have given there all. But Leigh have struggled for much of the 8s and were favs for the 5th position. I know the club have held some talks for players for next season and I am sure RM knows we need more strength in depth and more pace. But I dont see the point of being so negative after such a positive season especially after what we have had to put up with when KH was coach!

Hear as well, not for the first time well said LBC.
If anything we have over achieved this season and on the back of that our hopes went up but when they are not realised we can accept it.
We still know it's been a good year and everyone is trying their best now and for the future.

| We finished fourth. What were people expecting? Ave match score is Fax 16 Oppo 32. That's no disgrace and we have been competitive in three of those four matches so far. It is what it is.
