Spot on Sparky

I really enjoyed today's game, I predicted a cracker and from a neutral view wasn't disappointed,it was played at a fast hard pace and again as I predicted Fev won , though not with the ease I thought they would.
It was a case of 2 very evenly matched teams,and I thought Childs had a decent game,I know the Worrier took a bit of stick from the Fax fans but I feel he will still prove e decent signing.
The Fax forwards were better than Fev's, but Fev's back were better and faster,Tangata was lucky not to have a yellow card ,and Calahane was puffing after 10 minutes I just don't rate the guy, the Aussie looks OK, And Ambler had a good game , Ben Kaye tried everything as did Grix. Away from the game it was good to see many of my friends from Both sets of Fans,I can honestly say I will be making a few trips this season to watch BOTH Fax andFev.

As to where the teams will finish?Fev for me will be 3rd in the League ,with Fax finishing 7th, just my opinion of course,good to Fevgrinder go away happy , though he was very worried at times.I was looking forward to seeing Halifaxjohn, but missed him, John message me.All in all a 9/10 good game.Charlie knew.

think it would have been hard to give tangata yellow when showed nothing to fev player that started it. its ok to put the whole incident on report but cowardly not to take action on the person who started it.

Hi Swifty , hope you are well?I agree with your opinion about the Fev player, but 2 wrongs don't make a right, my view was Tangata charged in and had a go ,I'm not sure who the Fev player was ,but I expected this incident to Marr what was a very good game, it didn't, and from a neutral view games like these make fans want more , with me today was 4 others from Leigh and we all enjoyed the game,and will return for more .

Well that was much better than most of us expected a poor start which made us think it was going to be a long afternoon but the lads dug in and got their noses in front only to make some silly decisions with the ball that cost us, Rob had a bit of a nightmare I hope he makes up for it next week at Batley! Good atmosphere the fax fans were pretty vocal despite the intimidation of the Fev lot next to us, still not sure that was a good idea. Better crowd than I expected too so all in all came away feeling much more positive about our season but realistic to know we still have some weaknesses like fullback and half back.

Of course it was GFB.... of course

Really proud of the lads yesterday, they all gave 100% and that's what really matters to me. OK the ref got a few calls wrong but that happens, you win some and you lose some. We lost Fluff and BK but we never gave in and made a few mistakes on the way. I think we will be alright this season if that same attitude continues.

yup. Had a reight tilt at us....
Sharpy appears fairly certain fax will be top 4

Robin. This will be typical of a lot of the games this season, across the division it's the toughest for years.It will be no surprise for us to be involved in several close games and we may lose a few but it won't be because of lack of commitment from any one at the club.
There are a lot of strong sides who are all wanting to win, supporters, players directors of every club want to win.

quite well at the moment thanks Charlie, hope you are too. inconsistent decisions can destroy a game, fax had one sinbinned but nobody even binned after that.

Referees decisions do affect games. I'm not sure how much jimmy got wrong yesterday or how much if at all, he affected the result.
I go back to last season at our gaff. Both sides encroaching on the ten most of the second half. The ref picked a game changing decision to pull fev for offside when both teams had previously been taking the pizz.
Brown stuff happens.
Yesterday was a bloody cracking advert for rugby at our level with all 3 results possible until the last few seconds.
At 14-0 I was relaxed and in for an avalanche.
Fax came back and had a reight dig...
The feight was owt n nowt..... its rugby.... sometimes it gets a little frisky!

think he would have gone to video ref for 2nd fev try if SL. looked as if lost control on grounding. await video. great advert for the game though.

Looked a try to me,i was bang in line.

Yeah we said the ball popped out but I would expect him to ground it simultaneous after that. Although I cant remember in the rules if that is classed as a knock or not.
