You hammered a team that will finish 6th in the league, hardly anything to suggest the same thing will happen against SL clubs.

And Leeds have beaten Wigan & Hull in the last three of weeks, and find themselves in the bottom four. So what??
And btw - it is still possible you can finish 4th yet. Don't forget,and remember that your lot were predicting big things for fax after your first game of the season against Haven.

If only we had a great coach like Richard Marshall to teach these crap backs of ours how to play like a 6th placed championship team!

Derek how dare you question the Wisdom of someone like GFB the Sage of Fax ,as you rightly say BIG things were predicted after their first game win agains Haven, and how they crowed with delight at our first game defeat at Batley,and that Super pack, containing Tangata, Calahane, Ambler, and Grix I admit they have talent, as they were invisible at the LSV ,and none of them would get into our Squad.BUT I do like Fax and sincerely want them to get into the top 4, nowt like a visit to the Shay.I've not seen you for a while, hope to see you soon.Ian.

Agreed. But that potentially 6th placed team were going great guns and were probably the 'form' team in our league, at that time. Unfortunately we can only play what's in front of us, and we'll have to wait a short while to see how well equipped we are to deal with some very demanding games.
However, in my mind, we are much better equipped, both physically and mentally to deal with that challenge this year. Will that be good enough? Who knows, we'll have to wait and see - and try to enjoy it!

| Quote: THECherry&Whites "He makes me laugh. Come the 8's our back line could read :
Matty Ashurst (SL Winger)
Greg Worthington (The best centre in the division this season)
Lee Smith (SL grand final winning Centre)
Mitch Brown (NRL grand finalist Winger)
Yeah much worse than last seasons backs.
The way I see it:-
Matty Ashurst (Player not good enough for SL who Saints fans could not believe they managed to get a fee for)
Greg Worthington (Very good player at this level, would not get in any SL team)
Lee Smith (Loads of medals, way past his best and looked very average in a poor Wakey team)
Mitch Brown (Dont know much about him to be honest so would be unfair to comment)
Its not a case of whether your backs are better or worst than last years, It could come down to if they are better than 4 SL teams and in my opinion they are nowhere near. Despite what people may think, I would love it if Leigh managed to get promoted because it gives all Championship clubs hope but I fully expect Fax to be playing Leigh again next season.

We've signed Dawson, not Ashurst. One of the saints regular posters has said he's been in their top 3 performers this season.
Hull wanted Smith at the start of the season, it was salary cap restrictions that stopped the signing

I think GFB is hurting really, with a bit of enviousness thrown in.

Last week GFB said Leigh would be promoted if they had Marshall as coach. Based on that statement, I'd say he's deluded rather than hurting

Which Championship team would not be jealous of Leigh at the moment? As for hurting, anyone who knows me will know that Im gutted about not making the top 4. Again who wouldnt be, I remember our games with Leeds with great fondness and the chance to play them again was one that I were wanting to happen.

That's fair enough, your post certainly does express that.
Btw - as far as Leyth go in the 8s, Owt can happen, just as we saw last year.

Ive just posted elsewhere regarding the 8's saying Leigh are our best chance but I think the SL teams look to have a lot more talent however, it will boil down to a one off game and you just never know as Championship teams have proved in the challenge cup over recent seasons.
