Won’t do any harm Budge, at least give it a try.

A disappointing result - yes. A disappointing performance - yes, although Fax deserve credit for pressurising us into mistakes. However, it's no disgrace coming within seven points (somewhat fortunately) of a team that is confident of top four.

Not that it influenced the final result, but how poor were Gareth Hewer and his t.j's today? (for both teams I must add) I'm not surprised at players getting frustrated!

perhaps we need a change or variation in tactics rather than personnel im sure when our stand off gets fit he too will "run at the line"

Riddy & Woods are too similar. Russell should give us other options than just relying on a kicking game.

100% spot on.

Aye aye,lost a game have we

Those halves won us the game last week with there kicking game - now it’s doom and gloom, unreal some people

Anyone know a decent winger going spare - coz were going to need one for a few weeks

The 'kicking game' worked v Toulouse when we were winning narrowly and the team was playing well. When not doing so, you need a 'spark' like somebody making a break
So are you saying we shouldn't give Olly Russell a chance ?
I only suggested it because clubs don't have 'backs on the bench' so obviously it's start with him, or not at all.
As for a 'winger' Adam Swift will do nicely....

It was a bit of a ' war of atrittion ' with both teams trying to wear each other out , in the end Fax had that bit more confidence in offloading and speed in getting the ball wide , they are after all a squad that has been together a couple of years now

and yes when chasing a game just keep putting up a kick wont cut it , the kick Woods put straight into touch should have been ' run ' with the centre or wing being the kicker behind the Fax line
Yes they scored out wide twice in the 2 nd half but both times that side was outnumbered , once because it was mcnally making the tackle in the centre to stop them scoring , just good play by a clever player like murrel
Overal not a bad display , and we will get better as the games go on , as long as we dont lose too many players , yes Johnny that applause will cost a couple of games , we cannot afford stuff like that anymore
It could quite easily be a few more weeks before we get any more points on the table , but we expected that anyway

Luke Douglas is only here for a month, so next week will be his final game for us (probably) Unless Saints send him back for another 1 month loan.

Had ben kaye passed his head test then Moore would not have had to play the full game at hooker.. I think fax would of won by more if he had played. Fax are still missing key players but good luck for the rest of your season always enjoy the fax v leigh games.

It looks like you have put together a decent team and certainly your backs look decent at this level but as ive mentioned before you have at least 3 players in the Adamson's and Brooks who would struggle to be starters for mid table championship teams and that is always going to hurt. Add a bit more beef to your pack and those backs are going to score a lot of tries.
