Sounds like they suit grixs’ style , he seems to like the workmanlike percentage forwards, im interested to see how gwaze goes against sidlow etc , he’s a small dynamic prop but has relentless stamina, I think Grix had his fingers burnt by the springer style forward but certainly some great battles to be had .

Pete ,I know how you feel about DRs , but Ashworth is a very good defensive player ,and Mason has some size , maybe Grix feels they can add to the squad in some way , if it benefits Fax , it doesn’t matter where they come from , when a player puts Ona Leigh shirt he’s aLeigh player for me , I’m. Not bothered where he. Comes from .

Leigh by 20 or more. Tight 1st half with Fax spoiling tactics then Leigh will run away with it 2nd half due to very strong bench and fitness.

Leigh by 2-3 scores for Bongser.

Well I think sending Elliott Moriss to play for shuddersfield reserves and bringing in two unknown players from the giants is sheer lunacy. To me it undoes all the relatively good work from the last two displays against Fev and halts any momentum we were building. I can't now see us getting owt from tonight's game and go for Leigh by 2/3 scores. I hope i'm wrong. Up The Fax!

I wouldn’t call Ashworth and Mason unknown players , they are steady SL experienced players ,they do well for Fax .
Pete you are predicting defeat before a ball has been kicked , look what happened to Saints at the weekend , I never take anything for granted , hopefully we will be up for this game .

They are unknown to me Ian. There's a reason they are shuddersfield reserves. But it's about more than the two players and Morris isn't it? I don't need to go over the whole DR thing again though. I very rarely predict a Fax defeat but can't see owt else tonight now.

P.S. hope you're getting over your fall, take it steady mate. Up The Fax!

Elliot Morris is a good quality championship player on his day however he has been out performed by both gwaze and Dan Murray. I don’t have a problem with the mixed reserves as it keeps the players match fit , we’ve all commented how our pack needs an upgrade especially with the injuries and in an ideal world we would be signing these kinds of players or at least signing them on loan for the full season but you can only play the cards that you’ve been dealt and if it opens the door for the likes of ashworth, mason , roberts , Hewitt etc for the future that can only be a positive. Personally I’m looking forward to see how fax perform against a top end team with more firepower in the pack .

Agree with Listenup regards the DR players. they are upgrades on what we have and we will need some muscle up front to compete with Leigh so ive no problem with us bringing players in. It still don't mean I like DR though.This should be a real good test for us to see where we are at and will be the first time we have played on the pitch in a decent state. Ive a funny feeling that we just edge this one.

Pete I know your opinion on DR and I respect it fully , a few years ago when it first started we did it with Warrington and received Blythe, Mitchell, and McCarthey , I was happy and have been since , James Bell is a very good ball player , ski hoping he benefits our team , but we have Hingano as second hooker , and Ipape as 3rd hooker , this guy is very quick , I expecting a very fast open game , but that sometimes doesn’t happen , Leigh were very scrappy against Newcastle ,and last week wasn’t what was expected , so I’m just hopeful.
Myself I’m feeling good , Pat doesn’t want me going to awaygames yet , but I’m getting better , hope to see ya sometime during the season,give my estwishes to Di.
