Not a good end to the season. Full credit to Swinton they were the better team by far. Keys was no use today either in defence or attack. We would have been leaving him out.
Anyway lest move onto next season. Grix gone new coaching team so let’s be positive for next season. We just have to wait to see who is going to be let go and who we sign.
Crook’s injury looked bad, let’s home it isn’t and all the best for his recovery

Pleased you got at least part of the outcome you hoped for.

That was the most depressing performances for years - one team desperate to stay in the championship, and another just as determined not to risk promotion by getting into the play-offs. Not sure missing out on the play-offs will be too damaging financially as I don't think there's any extra prize money for that and a trip to London was never going to bring in a fortune. Don't think the people trying to flog early bird season tickets will be turning somersaults as that's where the biggest financial hit from today is likely to be.

Already looking forward to see what the club has got planned, who’s going who’s coming in and what Liam Finn can do and to get behind them I’ve just ordered our season tickets for next year.

Up the Fax.

Its like the only thing surprising about the result is the number of people who seem to be surprised by it. I think the board not acting after the Batley game was a mistake but its over now lets hope Liam Finn can get some fresh imputus in to a talented but wayward squad.

Not surprised at all. At 12-4 down we didn't seem to have the quality to break them down. 2 scores down, game over. 8th place is just about right. We need to announce some good signings this week, otherwise the season ticket sales are knackered. Why on earth have they brought forward the early bird deadline to 30 sept? So stupid it beggars belief.

Well thats fax for you , unfortunately i just cant see a future in rugby league over the next few years ,

What is there to say? One hand not a lot, other hand hell of a lot.
They must really have little respect for the club, or themselves with that performance.
I hope Grix ripped the living crap out them in the dressing room.
Too many had been listening to Chris Rea, ‘on the beach’ .
I hope the have the decency to refuse payment for that game.
Finally, I really feel for you guys who spend your hard earned wages having to watch that, I could turn the radio off, even the commentators were at a loss as to Fax’s attitude and aptitude yesterday,
I will watch the game when it’s available only because of a masochistic streak in me,
However as always the optism for next season is on the horizon, up theFax.

Listened on the radio also. Matt Shaw was in a state of bemusement / amazement about how about how bad we were. If Grix can't galvanise them for that game then we don't deserve any playoffs. Still hold that the 1895 is short- term distraction and there will be financial shortfall as I would have though prudent money would be on us making the 6. Either way, a natural transition on the way. A think a significant overhaul must take place of the playing group; I know that some of them have been tied down but Moore, Kavanagh, Larroyer, even Tangata and Salty - time to move on?

A lot of infighting last night on Facebook between board members and ex-board members/sponsors regarding debts, late payments, broken promises and what looks like a possible failed attempt to buy the stadium from the council. It may be doom mongering but if you are reading all that amid the things that have happened the last 2 or 3 weeks and are not concerned are you even a Fax fan? Honestly the way the season has gone, if we had extended Grix's deal I dread to think the state of the club after next season. Hopefully Finn can give us that new coach boost and the board can get things sorted off the field as it a shame to see our club in such a state.

Even though Sheffield lost last night I though Douglas had a decent game

That performance yesterday is totally down to the players that produced it and as with several before you could see which team was running the hardest, tackling hardest and the first to respond to the loose ball.

You could clearly see ALL the Swinton team doing the above basics and showing the same levels of intensity and commitment and their MoM could have gone to anyone of them or even the entire 17.

You could clearly see Fax doing the exact opposite and for our MoM there was just a couple to choose from.

You could even see one or two moments when they were blaming each other when things went wrong looking to shift the responsibility to someone and somewhere else.

On the playing front Grix has seen it and has commented on it several times both publicly and to the players in the build up to the games, more frequently as the season has progressed and had he stayed for some of them time was up and one way or another changes to the squad would have been made in the close season that with a limited set squad couldn’t have been made during the season.

There’s plenty of chatter regarding other areas connected with the club as well, on here, other forums and social media platforms that’s also been gradually building as the season progressed.

Everything is connected and over the next few weeks / months at the longest it will be interesting and informative to see how much the BoD can support Liam Finn on the playing front which will also give a better idea of how things are on the financial front.

I have still not calmed down after watching that yesterday. I just hope the players realise the opportunity they have missed because for the first time in a number of years i genuinely thought we had a chance to gain promotion in the playoffs. There will be less money for coming outside the playoffs how much i do not know but the board have talked about this before so that will not help and we will get less points for the IMG grading then we would of done for finishing in the top 6. I do think the board could do with either releasing a statement just to try and create a positive spin for next year or even do a fans forum so some of the back and forth on facebook between the old and new board can be addressed. As for next year and i do keep repeating myself i feel we need a good clear out especially up front, some players just seem to be going backwards with there performances and like coaches can get stale. I just hope Liam finn can see this and is given the backing to make the changes required.

Take a look at some of the defence ( if that’s what you can call it ) from the Swinton game, cringeworthy. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wMYIJRuzZ ... N3aW50b24g
