First game was in 1967, and have been hooked since day 1. Now live in Vancouver, Canada but follow our team any way I can. “Up The Comics !”:17580.jpg



Listening in and it’s 26-0 in 27 minutes.
Seems Sheffield are having a tough time stopping us from scoring. JD talked about getting our halves running and taking on the opposition more this season and it sounds like it’s happening. Woods and Reynolds working well again.

Well I’ll take 58-10 very happily.
I look forward to reading the views of those who were there.

That was impressive , we went off the boil for the the 10 minutes of the first half and the lSt 15 of the second , but our pack was immense today, my Man of the match was Grohl I thought he was everywhere, but good displays all round.
I had the pleasure of sitting next to Lewis Bieneks girlfriend , she said Lewis loves it here,I think he will be a good addition,Gerrard again was very good and Jorden Thompson had a good game.Well Done 1-17.

Forwards totally dominated with great line speed and gang tackling controlling the ruck. We then put on a second pack and carry on demoralizing them, on a warmer and less windy day we could have troubled 100

And once again, the defence was very impressive. Sheffield's tries, both came from short range kicks, one of which rebounded off the goal post into the player's hands. Difficult to legislate for that! That's two impressive points differences, we have amassed - something we have struggled with, these past two seasons.

I know Sheffield looked demoralised, and that leads to suggestions they are weak. Well, there was no way they were allowed to play - unlike last season, when they caused us all sorts of problems.

Thanks to the players and coaches, from one very happy Leyther! eusa_clap.gif eusa_clap.gif

Alan , last week Sheff were very unlucky not to beat Fax , they did look poor today , but we outplayed them all over the park, just goes to show you Fax could be in for a long season as well.Some teams could be in for a hiding when the warm weather arrives.I stand by my predictions of Toulouse , us and Fev as the top 3.We have a brutal pack at the moment .

Overall a good display from the Leythers someone needs to tell Farrell (12) that tackling around the head is not allowed in modern day RL, well done to the lads today,

One thing Ive not really seen mentioned but normally plays a part in blow out scores like this is that Leigh played their last game on Friday against a pretty average Dewsbury team having a comfortable win where as Sheffield had a last minute defeat in a very tough game 2 days later. Its understated how big an impact that has on part time players.

As for Fax having a long season, I will let our results dictate that rather than other teams results against teams we have played. icon_biggrin.gif

As for Fax having a long season, I will let our results dictate that rather than other teams results against teams we have played. A day extra doesn’t give a team that big an advantage,as for playing an average Dewsbury team ,I think Dews will do ok this season , they gave us a hard first half and will do some damage to a few teams this season.Whilst I agree about part time and full time players,Sheff will probably be a bottom half Championship side this season ,but our Pack was very good yesterday, as was the Pack that replaced them later in the game,we now have 4 big props , 4or 5 big mobile second rows, and Addy performing well at 13.I think JD now realises the quality he has at his disposal and will use it wisely .
As for Fax..?I predicted a struggle , and after reading match reports I see no reason to change my prediction.Being based on the majority of the squad being a year older than last season , no quality added to the squad, and relying on Hudds for DRs.Todays game at Fev will be a yardstick , providing the weather relents,the game is on Our League tonight if it is played , I’m sure it will be worth watching . icon_thumb.gif

Quote: Cokey "I thought you were going to tell us again we have an average pack. I was hoping to see ya yesterday Derek,hope you are well.?That pack performance yesterday was good to put it mildly,Gerrard and Bienek look like the Kray twins and will take some stopping in full flight, add to that Mason , it was Ioanes first game , and Spencer fit ,the front row looks good , with Hoody and Wildie again good exchanges.
Higgy acknowledged the pack after the game , he took his 3tries well and Reynolds seems to a changed bloke, I love a Ian Thornly though, big lad strong runner.
Last season I was happy to see the end of , but I can’t wait for a Sunday, it will give us a true test of where we are.See ya soon. icon_thumb.gif

One word. Clinical! In recent years when we have raced into a quick early lead we have allowed sides to get back into the game. What impresses most is the desire of the team to keep their foot on the neck of the opponent and not allow to get up off the floor. That pack will dominate most sides this season giving a platform for the backs to rack up the tries. Special mentions to Ioane and Glohe who very very good on their home debuts. Also how big is Bienek! That lad would scare a police horse.

How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?:icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg



Top performance from the lads yesterday.We`ve finally got a Big mobile pack who look good going forward but also immense in defence.Looking forward to the York game on Sunday.
