Happy Birthday Mick, hope you have a great day, from Charlie C at the Tower,and all your friends in Sunny Leigh.
I won’t be at Odsal this afternoon,but will be watching Fax play the Mounties,I can’t see Fax winning, but yer never know David beat Goliath,I think there’s more chance of Living the Dreams hair growing back.Toronto by 18.

Game not over yet, 6 v 22 ,Murrell and Grix look like 2 blokes from a pub tap room.Does the Marshalls Mavericks mean they are good at Poker.?

This team are unfit. This has found Marshalls coaching out. Time for a change

The sad thing is this wasn't unexpected. The damage was done at York. Time for change.

Pete for me you have a few players carrying to much weight,Murrell, Grix , and Barber to name 3, and Larroyer looks like he’s not bothered.I stand by my comment weeks ago Fev , Fax and Leigh will be fighting out the 5th spot..

Ey-up Ian. We do look unfit, agreed. But, until today, Larroyer has looked a good lad. Unfortunately this is a trait with Marshall. He hardly ever seems to improve the players that he has. I'm not happy. The Grove, shuddersfield. Wylam Galatia 3.9%. Mmm!

Pete, I’m only saying what it looked like today,Toronto ran the show and scored 3 tries on the last tackle.
I’m not saying RM is the problem though, he looked puzzled at the way Fax folded,looking at your fixtures you have a relatively comfy game in the Cup, followed by another comfygame the week after, then a run of 4 hard games which could shape the rest of your season.

We at Leigh are similar, I just think without the Saints DRs we will struggle, and I’m at a loss where Fev are concerned, still promises to be a good season.

Murrell looks a spent force, ok he's 33 but looks more a liabilty at the moment !

As I said Charlie.

Too slow and no idea going forward.

Most of us would still like to think that we will be good enough to be competing at the top, certainly of the Championship and even get back into Super League one day.

However, as hard as it may be to accept at this point in time we are performing like a mid table side that has gone as far as it can and is going into decline.
I fear it is one season too far with a lot of the current personnel unfortunately.

No excuses for Murrell to be 'looking' as overweight as he is. Both Sims and Wilkin are older and looked very lean. The troubling thing and I maybe misguided given I haven't seen many matches live the past couple of seasons, is how painfully sw and pedestrian our attack looks and I hate to say, when the ball gets into Murrell's hands any zip evaporates. It also is painfully clear this season how we miss Cahalane and Tangata. With ball in hand, they would always bring that extra phase or an attacking dimension but I can't see where that is this year.

I managed to watched this game, the first 1/4 Fax were in the ascendancy, taking the points as they came, quite up beat then after absorbing pressure the wolfpack opened up,'Fax looked to be blowing after 15 mins, all change, fast movements slick passing people running onto the ball, a different game, they always made 40/50 mtrs in the first 3 tackles.
Fax looked slow by comparison when they had the ball, I advocated last week that lighter more mobile props offer a different game, why try and use them as line breakers? spin the ball use the speed.
Fax again gave at least 2 tries away from needless penalties.
As previous comments Fax gave the ball to static players, no one on the move seem to lack motivation and scared of getting to the opposite half, and the whitewash, missing line breakers, Fax have some quick men, bring them in at speed more chance of breaking the line at speed . yes a part time team, but fitness looked woeful , bring back the conditioner ( sorry can t remember his name Holroyd?) it will be money well spent.
if this is incoherent and jumbled, then a bit like my brain at the moment Fax is all over the place.
