I'm glad some of you aren't picking the team! Haha seriously if he was fit as is stated at the beginning why are none of you picking Barlow at 13?

I were spot on about your team last season and how your pack would let you down, I think your pack has clearly improved this year but will still be carrying some passengers but you have more strength in depth in that area so as long as Rowley picks on performances instead of names you should be ok. I think your backs look the weaker area of the team this year but as we saw with Fax last year that does not make that much of a difference when you have a dominating pack.

1.McNally
2.Higson
3.Worthington
4.Tonga
5.Kay
6.Ridyard
7.Chase
8.Emmitt
9.Beswick
10.Weston
11.Hansen
12.Hock
13.Barlow

14.Higham
15.Moimoi
16.Paterson
17.Spencer

Very difficult to pick 17 with the squad we have. Have to leave out some big names.

Next season will be hard to pick ,but I would go with.
1.McNally.
2.Pownall.
3.Worthington.
4.Tonga.
5. Kay.
6.Chase.
7.Brierley.
8.Hock.
9.Beswick
10.Weston
11.Hansen.
12.Matuai.
13.Patterson.

14.Higham.
15.Moi Moi.
16.Hopkins.
17.Spencer.
I'm assuming Barlow and Armstrong may not be at Leigh next year.

I'd obviously have Gregg in the team. Mind you, I haven't named a 17 to be shot at.

Think perhaps 'Cherry & Whites' left him out?

Definite huge weaknesses in the backs. Surprised we didn't jettison McNally, Kay, Armstrong, Ridyard and Brierley at the end of last season. Then to go and compound that error, by signing not just one, but TWO former top international backs in Chase and Tonga, has just further weakened our back division!

Exactly my thought's on Greg's post.

'Fax did very well last season, especially as a 'part time' team. The trick for them, as I see it, is to reach the same levels over the coming season, and do so consistently.

agree Barlow as to be in 17, whether he trains or not top class

Without a very very good reason No train no play in my team regardless of who you are

How long have you been a Coach.?We would welcome Big Sam back at Fax anytime,come home Sam.
