Well after being back from a long break and a few days catch up time it's good to see a great win and a fantastic achievement for all involved with the club at BoD, coaching, playing, other support staff level and supporters, especially those who have stuck with them through a difficult season and let’s hope they can fill several coach loads.

For the handful who haven't see my post on the Grix out thread.

All the 17 were fantastic in one of our better displays this season. That doesn't alter the fact that Inman should be in the squad at least but the end justifies the means. Up The Fax!

So he picks a team and applies the right tactics to play the occasion and the conditions. This time the team clealry followed the plan. And you still think he got the team wrong.

He obviously didn't. If you read my post it says the end justifies the means.

What about our game against fetherstone on the Monday. Will we be able to move it to a different date.

Fax v Batley. !

Revenge time...remember us beating them 72-0 one year and then losing the return fixture.

Should be a cracker for the neutral, contrast in styles . I’m not taking the last game as a marker but I have to admit Batley are probably favourites. Both teams have equally tough games in the run up to the final , Batley have fev away and Bradford at home , we have Sheffield away and fev at home . Injuries will come into play but certainly an exciting month ahead .

I've just been on about to 'owd lass!

our style of play is made for a track like Wembley.

Won’t let me quote beaujangles but yes probably suits our expansive style, believe it or not but the shay pitch measures 110 yds by 76 yds , Wembley is 115 yds by 74yds . Jouffret and walmsey in space could be lethal.

Well, yer never know, gizempo, playing Inman might have led to a more comfortable 20 nil Fax victory! Despite the win, I still think it odd that the previous week's MOM was dropped. Sometimes I think Grix does stuff to wind some of us up!

Apart from the MoM performance I’d have had Tom on the bench instead of Brandon not only for the interchange 9 slot but if Woody had another back problem Tom’s there to cover the halves but I’m not privy to the full game plan and don’t think team selection had anything to do with winding up those who would have gone with Inman.

Tom was great last week. But he is still very young and is sometimes prone to trying to force something. The conditions and occasion I think dictated a safety first approach. Watching the game I was thinking we ought to have put some grubber kicks in rather than the power play all the time, but in hindsight i can see why we didn't and why i am not the coach - rather we make them start their sets on their own line than give them 7 tackles from the 20.

BTW we do know - his team selection and tactics worked - and it also wound you up - bonus!

Find it hard to believe the Shay is wider-maybe the pich is 76 yds but not lined to it's maximum particularly at the east stand end ?
