Like somebody said earlier, at 6-14 I could see nowt but a Fax win, we looked so flat and they were really up for it.

They had a very simple game plan - drive hard up the middle, throw it wide when you can, kick deep and tackle everything in a red jersey, and it was very effective. As for the niggle, every coach in this league knows that if you niggle our lot they will lose their game yeds and go looking for retribution - again very effective today.

For a supposedly clever lad that Tom Armstrong is as thick as 2 short planks. In a tight game we've just got back in front by 4 points and with ball in hand he tups a defender (Murrell?) I've no doubt he didn't tup him for nowt but again, a bit of niggle and our lot lose their yeds. Culcheth Eagles under 7s know it's the retaliator who gets pinged.

On the subject of Armstrong, today was for me his worst ever showing for us. The second half Fax try was atrocious defending from him, Heaton carried him 10 yards to the line - not good enough Tom.

As a Fax fan thats complete opposite to what most of us were thinking at that stage. We have thrown a lot of games away this season and we do not seem to have an upset in us, not saying that we threw this one away because I thought Leigh were the slightly better of two very evenly matched teams on the day.

Heaton does not get the credit he deserves even from Fax fans. If he can improve his passing game he will be up there with the top 3 or 4 centres in this league. Its not the first time, and it wont be the last, that he makes one of the best centres at this level look distinctly average. I think it was out of that frustration that the headbutt came from.

You had to be poor for us to get near you, dropped balls and rushed passes under pressure does seem to suggest we played just a very very very small part in that though.

Wonder what was up with Martyn Ridyard today? He had an uncharacteristically quiet game, and probably contributed to two of the 'Fax tries. Surely it was no coincidence that we had, for the first time this season, a half back on the bench? Things did seem to pep up for us, when Ben Reynolds came on.

Quote: Cokey "THANKS. Derek good evening, hope you are well?Some Faxers can't see the Wood for the trees they have a holier than though attitude, which most Leythers can see through, Leigh gave us a below par performance today with only a few players putting in good displays however we still won ,sign of a good team 24 on the bounce, Fax were crowing after the first 2 games of the season they were top of the League then,it will be interesting to listen to RM the Fax Coach next week on his verdict , this guy would make a Philadelphia Lawyer envious.

Bottom line is Fax LOST ,Leigh won ,Fax have now lost 50% of their games and will lose at least another 5 maybe 6 before the season is over ,giving the 7th place in the League, my message to GFB?Don't ya wish you had a team as good ours?Don't ya.

Quote: HXSparky "I did see the Armstrong butt (nothing alleged about it, it happened). From what I saw, it was a Leigh player that threw the first punch (but obviously can't say what provoked it and Im not sure it landed). What happened afterwards will be sorted out by the disciplinary.

Not surprised if RM did tell the Fax players to wind Barlow up, or indeed why that would be "hidden". He could be a fine player, but imo he's a liability and can't control his temper. From what I saw, he was a real big man coming in as 3rd tackler most of the time.'"


the brawl was started by the fax player hitting the leigh player in the tackle before all hell broke loose

[qupoteCharlie, that pop that you were supping in't George & Dragon must have had summat in it. Leigh were so, so lucky to beat us today. Pete great to see you today , but Lucky Leigh?Have a word with yourself,we gave an under par performance but still won, Fax couldn't beat us, Fax using slowing don tactics and trying to upset guys like Sam Barlow is not good no wonder your gates are dwindling, you will be agreeing with GFB next, and he is on a stronger Medication than me. icon_lol.gif he thinks Fax have a good pack, I've told you only Ambler would get into out pack, rumour has it Saltonstall is tired of losing pay,when Fui signed for Leigh he asked Tom Armstrong what the losing pay was at Leigh.?Tom replied he didn't know he'd only been at Leigh 2 years. : icon_lol.gif
