It's a forum and people will rightly air their opinions on it. Last season Simon Grix got us to third spot which given the budgets of the two clubs above us could be considered as a successful season. This season so far we have won one game and are out of the cups again. Given our injuries and as difficult a set of fixtures to start the season with as we could have been handed there are reasons to hope SG can turn our fortunes around. That said the board of directors have given the coach the tools to work with and I would like to think 3rd spot is the least we can hope for. This squad is good enough to get in the play offs and then have a right go at the end of the season. Up The Fax!

30 point start on the coupon.

It's hard to judge the feeling in the camp at the moment.

Today's game is a make or break in Simon Grix's coaching career.

A win by 10 or a loss by 70.

In what sense? Feels like a free shot to me.

So Calcott in for Morris, McComb in for Barber who goes into the second row to replace Garside.
And for those like me who miss this fixture looks like there is coverage on Radio Leeds or maybe not, would you believe it, it’s Huddersfield

Have to wait for those who went as only Twitter to go on but looks like we gave it a real dig.
Tweets mentioned a lot of penalties conceded again and Jouffret doing his hamstring could be another injury blow.

Best performance we've played against this season.
Fax had a right dig and threw the ball about an awful lot and had a much better completion rate for the first hour and a bit.
Joufret's hammy pinging just when it did was a blow for faxand when walmsley almost intercepted at the end I had the spectre of Rob worrincy going full length under our sticks.
Great effort by fax. Another day would have won and for the bulk of the game were the better team.
Fev just ground out a result.

Cheers Robin and good to see you still are around and hope you are yours are all okay.

Did not expect to come away disappointed that we lost but here we are. Basically Jouffrett hammy going was the difference between a win and a loss. I feel the way we played 10 points up would have been enough to take the win but its the way it goes sometimes. We have seen enough to show that when we make the playoffs we can certainly give Fev a match in a one off game. Its 2 points lost but no other team will go there and win so its not a disaster.

Mate.... that was a reight effort by fax.... fev had the better of fortune on the day and got the roll of better fitness the last ten mins.
Joofs passes that ball and fax win. Ealmsley intercepts and fax win. Small margins mate

An excellent dig well done . Oh that walmsley had got it.

Sounds like we are finally getting on track and it's no coincidence that it is with Lachlan and Louis in the side which makes it all the more frustrating that LJ has picked up an injury, we certainly aren't getting the rub of the green at the moment. What it does show though is we can go anywhere in this league and more than compete. Hopefully that will start next time out against Leigh. Up The Fax!

On twitching.
Obviously there is still some expectancy regarding Fax but I think most, Fax faithful and pundits realize that we are not favorites.
That can help when we lose games that we were expected to lose!
On the other hand when you are at the top the pressure on supporters often dominates our thinking and the games week in week out and it can end up where the relief from not losing is greater than the joy of winning spoiling the enjoyment somewhat particularly on game day where you stand there for most of the game stressing out.
In the above sense Fev fans must be under some sort of stress having built for so long and having come so close, even the thought to lose out again must be more than twitchy.

That defeat will take some getting out of the system i am still in a foul mood know. That for me was the best we have played for some time including last season. There were a number of turning points were the result could of gone our way and not to mention fev are a strong team that kept coming for the full 80. 2 sin binning's for backchat at the ref is asking for trouble that is in our power to put right. And murray losing the ball in the act of scoring. The ball bouncing over louis from a kick threw which smith scored from and then louis makes a break and he is 2 on 1 with there fullback and with Walmsley on is outside and is hamstring goes so we could not take advantage of that opportunity. Also Walmsley gets put away up the touchline approach's the fullback chips over the top and the fullback takes him out but the referee says play on. All in all a very good effort against for me the best team in the comp so credit to simon and the players for that. The problem we have is we will probably need to go on a long winning run again to finish were i believe we should be in the top 3 if we play like yesterday then i would say we can and also have a very good chance against leigh.
