Attention turns to next weeks massive game! Any idea if we've sold the first coach yet? Can't wait for this one, hope we can take 700+ as the lads will need all the support they can get. If we play wisely and don't just drop off if we take a lead, I'll go for 26-18 to Leigh with an attendance of 1950

Think today was an exceptional following but largely down to the cup. I'll go for Leigh by 4 and 400 away fans.

I,ll go for a easy Fax win unless there is a massive improvement in both attack n defence from Leigh we need to get the ball to McNally Brieley Kaye n Higson more often these guys can beat anyone on a one to one

I think we are let down by not having a stand off who can inject something in attack. I really can't remember when he beat a man, shot through a gap, ran across the line at speed or kicked a decent ball on the last tackle towards the in goal area.

Will be a real test for the team, will not be an easy game if we slack off once we are in front like the last few games

Too close to call but I will go for a Leigh win

I agree with 24.7, almost every position on the pitch has someone waiting to jump into there shoes apart from 6 + 7. Not sure if complacency has set in, or our game plan has been sussed by the opposition after only 6 games and as we said back at Keighley we have no plan B.
Also how come Greg can drop out from the goal line over 50 m but we rely on Martin to kick for touch when he always seems to come up short in distance but manages to get the ball over the roof and half way to Lowton. I think a need for change is needed, no point having largest squad and not using it. This current rugby will not get people back through the turnstiles.

First loss of the season coming up. I doubt it will be by many, so 28 - 24 to Fax

I think we are being a bit harsh on Ridyard here. Scored a try yesterday, created brierley a try. One of the best kickers in the division. We bombed two tries of kicks because littler dropped them.

You can't single out players for the below par proformance, perhaps theres a few of them playing whilst under the weather in which case we did well to win .
We will have to play a lot better in the games coming up and I'm sure the lads know that

Bit harsh on Riddy, for me we are a yard too flat which takes away options with the way we play, it could also be the pathetic way the refs are keeping a short ten and slowing the ptb area that we are over running the play but we must rise above that.
Jukes said in his LCTV interview we must take the 90%, very true and stop forcing plays, look after possession and the points will rack up.

Just can't see us winning this one the way we have performed recently against so called inferior (bottom half) teams. In fact, I'm fearful of another 60 point hammering like last season.

Will be delighted to be wrong.

Half glass full person so think Leigh will win it in the forwards and would not surprise me one bit if everything clicks and we are convincing winners.

Re previous post I see no chance of Fax hammering us they may win but can't see a thrasing by 60 points,no way.

So you weren't at yesterdays game then?
1 Riddys pass to make the try for Ollie
2 Riddys pass to put Sarsy through the gap to feed Ollie to score
3, Riddys break through the line to score
4 Riddys jink and pass tp put Ryan through the gap for his try
5 Riddys cut out pass to Ryan to feed Greg for his try

etc etc etc... in every game he has played this season.

What was that line from 'The life of Brian'
'What did the Romans every do for us'

Boy when some of our fans have it in for a player they surely twist the knife.

Riddy just needs players running from a little deeper onto his passes instead of taking the ball flat at times

First few games our defence was ruthless and had a great work ethic, we still show signs of it during the game but don’t seem sustain it, nor are we as organised, or as willing to work as a defensive unit. This to me was the basis for our early season form the opponents were beat into submission simply by how well we tackled them, this gave us the platform on which Riddy and co could work.

Back to basics, get organised, stop their supply and build from there, or we could be heading for a rough month.
