Quote: HXSparky "Sorry, but that is exactly what Leigh did as well in terms of 2nd goes, flops and generally trying to slow things down. I'm saying Fax didn't do the same, but please don't claim that we "got away with it" when your tactics were exactly the same.'"


Disagree. Fax's game plan was clear & they did everything to slow it down right from the start, once the ref made it clear he wasn't going to do anything about it it just got worse and worse. Almost every other Fax tackle could have been a penalty by the end.

Both teams were at it to be fair, Fax had to slow the game down to try and bring Leigh down to their pace and Leigh were bad for 3rd man in and a lot of cheap shots. We were laying on yes but the 3rd man in also does a great job of slowing the game down and is another area the RFL should look at because its a very clever tactic which does not get picked up on a lot.

When does the video normally go online?

Video of the match is usually up pretty soon.

And, yep, that 3rd man in "tackle", for me, can be ridiculous. Barlow was our man for that mainly. ****! Give me some boots! Because even I can do that!

For the first time, I have to say that even Paul Rowley talked some rubbish in his post match interview. OK, maybe he was still high on emotion after such a game, but even if Halifax claim to be a "footballing" side, but then change to a more "boring" style, so be it. It nearly worked. It's called tactics.

I really want to swear sometimes on these boards...

Im half way through the Rowley interview and I do not have too much of a clue what he is on about , he seems genuinely rattled but maybe it was just heat of the moment stuff.

Edit: He really just didnt take a cheap dig at Fax fans when talking about Danny Jones did he? He kind of back tracks saying they are paying their respects at keighley so maybe just out of context and a slip of the tongue.

Edit 2: That lass in the picture next to the video on the website is a bit of ok, might give my best mate a work out. icon_wink.gif

Edit

I'd say he was rattled in that interview, yes, but I said as much before.

And, no, he wasn't taking any kind of cheap shot. You've definitely misread that.

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. Charlie mate. You were lucky we missed a couple of conversions. Lucky that you weren't nilled at half time, remember that forward pass? Lucky that the ref chose to send three Fax players from the pitch as opposed to two Gobblers following the brawl. How he cane up with that one is a mystery to me! Other than that no luck at all! icon_rolleyes.gif But a great day out and good to meet some good lads from Leigh, I don't include the bald headed moron in the car park driving a mini bus who thought it was o.k. to eff and blind at Fax fans after the game. What a dummy! I will say though, I thought it was the best game I gave seen this season, it gad everything. See you soon. Up The Fax! Yorkshire, Yorkshire! icon_biggrin.gif

Watching the game back I didn't realise how strong Hopkins was in defence yesterday. Massive effort by him.

Any fax fans complaining about us slowing the play the ball down need to watch it back. They could've been penalised a couple of times every set. Moore put high shots on loads and bracek was his usual tosspot self.

We're the dirty ones tho??

Don't see what anyone could object to in Rowley's interview either. Glad that they do listen to coaches' comments on referees. Just watched the game back, the Fax players who held Acton back while others hit him shouldn't play again this season; we don't really want to see fighting but it happens in RL but that was disgraceful.

Watched the game back now and Leigh thoroughly deserved the win overall.

Rugby-wise, Fax defended well, especially first half - and their tactics were clever, making Leigh attack from very deep most of the time.

Rugby-wise from Leigh; kept at it and showed a dogged determination to win. Couldn't play their usual game but found a way to win even so.

Regarding all the other "stuff", when the match was slipping away from Fax, they resorted to the niggly play. Leigh responded and the rest is history. The brawl was ridiculous but it was inevitable.

I can understand Rowley's frustrations too, especially with the refs, but that isn't going to change anytime soon so you just have to get on with it.

Iggy I've been saying this for a couple of years now about Tyrer,I'm glad someone else can see what he is like,I was getting worried it was just me d040.gif .The guy is a chief wind up merchant and S**t stirrer, as for Bracek another guy who just loves to cause aggro , but I'm told both him and Jamie Acton have issues off field anyway.

Pete it's always great to see you ,hope to see you at Blackpool as well,I'm sorry you were abused in the Car Park ,unfortunately it sometimes happens,getting back to the game ,the Ref sent 2 of our players off ,one for an alleged head Butt and Acton for his part in the brawl,and sin binned Haggerty for retaliation, he sent Bracek and Tyrer off for their part in the brawl and Cahalane for clouting Haggerty,I hope that clears it up?
As for the game let's just agree to disagree it's easier.
