This was the 1st time in 45 years of watching Leigh I left with 15 minutes to go, that was embarrassing, having watched Leigh Miners v Leigh East under 16s in the morning the Leigh players need to watch them, commitment on defence flair in attack, the ability to pass a ball left and right and a fantastic game from both sides, so I went from watching rugby as it should be played to watching all out 1 man crap rugby, we as fans can see week in week out what's wrong so why can't the coaching staff!!!

To be honest on the way to the match I expected it to be really close and I thought it was "odds on " you might just pip us but did not expect a such convincing win. Just nothing seemed to go right for you even though you came close to scoring and what has hapened to Penky all the fire and passion has drained away. He used to be buzzing , animated and directing operations there was just no spark there and seemed to be just going through the motions . But if you have followed your team for some time you have undoubtadly seen times like this before as I have with my team and then they bounce back . That`s the thing about being a supporter of your team or me with mine because you can`t win every week or have good times every year ,the only way you can have that is by switching clubs . Being a supporter of a particular club means you take the good with the bad at Halifax believe me we have had the bad and hopefully this year we may have a bit of the good. I hope so anyway as I think the fans deserve it, good luck for the rest of the season (except when we come over to your place).

Interesting point here ( well I think any how)

On Sunday the differences to the teams from last seasons match was No John Duffy, no James Laithwaite, no Tommy Goulden and no Tommy Gallagher. In place of those were Penkywicz, Thornley, Taylor and Finnigan.

We are missing Duffy far more than we could ever imagine. Overall the four differences you would have thought individually would have cancelled each other out but collectively not. When you compare the two teams from Sunday we have stood still in terms of personnel but Fax have moved forward and improved hugely.

They were and are the better team but should not have been 50 points better.

Right, I can really move on now.

Pie dome here we come.

Up the Leythers

I've just got over it too

The 94-4 defeat to Workington was on of my best away trips EVER !!!! I look at it this way, The defeat to Fax doesn't do much for our points difference but the bonus point eliminates that anyway. Fax could have beated us by 13 and it would not make any difference.
It was a poor day in the office and if the lads feel down, we should see a good effort on Friday. Its a funny division we are in and we need to be in the right frame of mind for Batley.

Definitely. However, my fear is that Batley will be the fourth team to put us in our true place - oh, and we've not played York yet!
