Bet you were a bit twitchy when Mort went under the sticks at 24-22 though, mile offside or not



Really enjoyable game as a neutral, excellent support from 'Fax as well. Thought your lot looked class in the first 10-15 minutes in attack and could have been well away by that point, but for all the attacking potency out wide, there certainly seems to be some naivety in defence.

defence has never been fax strong point, always work on the principal of scoring more than concede.

Which is exactly why I know I'm not the only neutral who enjoys watching 'Fax games, always guaranteed good attacking play.

Thought we went ok considering we only had one recognised prop playing. Swinton are much improved from last year and will go ok in CC1. I thought our defence was actually ok in parts, and will be much better than last year.

I think we will have one of the best if not the best winger in the division this year in Paul White, completely different player to last year. Looks strong, fast, elusive and more importantly confident.

Defence patterns can be worked on, there is no substitute for pace

I really enjoyed last night and it is all that the Championships are about. The game was open with good rugby played by both sides. Fans mingling and Fax fans changing ends. How long is it since any of us have done that? The game was played in a great spirit also. Sod SL more of this is what I want.
Come On You Leeeeeeeeeeeeeigh.

Bit late for that for the likes of Worrincy, I reckon. That said, I agree about the pace in your side and it's going to be quite a quandary for opposition coaches - stack it in the forwards and risk being caught out wide or try and spread the play and get battered with interceptions etc?

Just say it Matt.

We're unplayable

Unplayable doesn't necessarily unbeatable

Got to give huge credit to Swinton they played very well and they would not be out of place in the championship. We just needed to get a wining start now lets build on it and see improvement against Oldham at the Shay next Sunday.

I think it was this game.

I mean changing ends at half time not because you were in fear of your life. But having said that I went watching Leigh vs Wigan when I had to move because the stand was on fire. I think changing ends should be brought back in our leagues. Last night was a really good throw back to our game not beacause the place was nearly empty but the crowd in there were just there for the game. For the love of their teams and the game. Heart warming.
