Quote: LeythIg "Not so much that they've slowly moved down, more that a number have had one crack at a Super League club and it's not worked out. But doesn't mean it won't work out second time around for the likes of McNally, Kay, Armstrong, Pala, Brierley, Reynolds, Spencer, Hopkins, Sarsfield. Sometimes a player has to take a step down to take a couple of steps up.'"


I agree to some extent hence why I said it is possible but it has been a very rare occurrence over the years and to expect about 10 or so players from 1 team to be able to do it is probably unlikely.

Lets see how Fax do 2morro.

I think they will struggle in the 8's because they are not full time.

Leigh are a club on the up Greg.

Everybody talks about gfb but he knows more than 75% of the people on this board! I agree with him about their pack i think they are best followed by Bradford then ours. Fax play aggressive good defence and their line speed is incredible for a part time team of they were full time they would be a real handful!

Thank you oggy.

Im slightly biased but I do not think Fax have gotten enough credit this season for what they have achieved. Finishing above Fev and London in itself is no mean feat and honestly I think at the moment we are the 3rd best team in the league. Our points difference compared to teams below the top 2 is immense and up until today better defence than Bradford is nothing short of remarkable.

Our team for next season will be largely the same with hopefully about 5 quality signings and I think we can give the top 2, whoever they are, a run for their money.

I will admit it, I do not want Leigh to be promoted to SL.............only because I will miss them and do not fancy playing Wakey instead. icon_biggrin.gif If they make it then it will be very interesting to see how they go, they have been the benchmark for a couple of seasons now.

We should struggle in the middle 8's, theres no doubt about that. I think we can have a big say in who does make the top 4 though. One shock win against Bradford or Leigh or even a SL team will leave them struggling.

On the Bradford game I wouldnt be surprised to see us win comfortably today, Bradford are resting players and have nothing to play for and our players are smarting after 2 close defeats to them not to mention been the team in form. If we lose I dont mind eating my words, it wouldnt be the first time. icon_biggrin.gif

Your the third best team in your league because all those below you are poor, yet you want credit for being above a team that lost 0-29 at home to Whitehaven icon_biggrin.gif hth.

Just out of interest, where were those 5 quality signings on your wish list this year?.

You do right not to fancy playing Wakefield, the last time we met we @rsoled you, the good news is, I'm told your playing much better, the bad news for you is so are we
Its hard to bring in quality players when we received only 200K funding but with at least an extra 250k this year should make it a little easier. I can only imagine how easy it is for the teams who have 1.8m to spend year on year though. I guess it makes for a very even SL competition right?

Leigh and Bradford haven't had £1.8m to spend either, but they aren't doing too badly.

Do you have a point? If you do Im not sure what it is.

Im saying Fax have done well to finish above a full time London team whom I would guess have spent 1m. We have also finished above Fev who have probably spent at least 100-200k more than us. That has taken some doing. You want an award for spending 1.8m and beating a Fax team put together on less than 300K?
