| Not sure what fax were going to get caught out with! It’s only the m1.
But it turned out as expected, really tight game, and actually a really good game to watch. Impressed with the away fans making the trip.
2 points secured, let’s see if we can get the points next weekend up at fev

| Some excellent performances from the back five, plus Battye, Cunningham and Pitts. The rest were all good, with a couple of exceptions.
Pellisier was poor, even allowing for being new to the team. Slow, sloppy passes from the ruck and a horrible habit of taking a couple of steps before passing. Either pass it or run, don't waste time and space like that.
Overall, excellent first half, but really made hard work of it in the second. Sloppy mistakes relieving the pressure we'd built up. Should have been much more comfortable. Big, big game next week.

| The key is we won, the size of the victory didn’t matter on this occasion. Featherstone next week is similar, if we win ugly I really don’t care..........

| Really enjoyabale match, agreed with the poster above on who played well and would also add Hindmarsh. He certainly takes some stopping!
Was plain to see that Williams gets frustrated with Api "What's he doing!?" was said a few times after a poor piece of play.

| There is a reason fax are sat where they are in the league! Rugby quite often goes in 20 min phases with teams being dominant, Fax had there 20 mins in the second half, broncos defended pretty well during that time, which is where the game was won. Don’t think there was enough between the 2 teams for it to have been comfortable.
Don’t think Pelissier was that bad, timing is important, coming in to a squad this far into the season ain’t easy.
Was pretty impressed with Hindmarsh, eddy B is putting in massive effort every time he gets on the park. Thought overall a cracking game won with solid defence, was worried after last week, thought that was poor

| Enjoyable game. Hindmarsh was excellent. The frogs very poor. He was taken off in the first half, if it wasn't for cunningham going off with cramp he wouldn't of come back on.
Why dont we go with cunningham at 9 (he is useless at first receiver always runs across the line closing our attacking space down and cant kick), Sammut at first receiver who stands the defence up and Api outside him who is excellent in space.

| After a start to the season that had me smiling on Monday mornings, I am now a nervous wreck on Sunday nights scared of what result I will wake up to..... delighted for the team that after their mid season "blip" where we lost to only other contenders, we seem to be inching our way to the middle 8's......next week is Huge, as it could all be done and dusted if Fax and London get their wins.....3 wins get's us third with Widnes and HKR visiting us as well as Fax whilst we travel to France, Toronto, Salford and a mystery yorkshire town (wakey/hudds/leeds).........I can see us getting 2 wins there, in France and at home to Fax

| I thought Hindmarch was superb and Battye would have been our groups man of the match. Thought Pellisier blended very well for a first game shame we didn't see our other newbie

| Tough game, but again we came up with a result - needed several calming beers to get over the last 5-10 minutes of that game!
Hopefully that sort of game will stand the players in good stead against Fev next week - they now know they can take on our middle 8s rivals and get a result.
Despite some mistakes cannot fault yesterday's effort in temperatures more akin to the South of France than West London.
Would also like to put a word in for Hindmarsh, he's been quietly getting on with it since coming into the side, not always showy or spectacular but good solid performances - he did very well yesterday against very decent opposition, really starting to look the business.
Anyone know what the attendance was ? Good turnout from Fax made for a pretty good atmos at Trailfinders yesterday.

???
The 2 games mentioned we had lost 15 minutes in to the game so in all due respect Im going to disagree with you.

| As has been said a very good game but not good for the nerves. Its a bit of a dogfight now for the top 4 although Im tipping London and Fax wins next week which should just about put it to bed barring any shocks on the last day. I thought Battye was your best player yesterday and for a big lad has a terrific engine and that extra fitness that London seem to have could prove the difference next week for you on a hot day as Fev do not seem the fittest team around.

Apparently it was 754, giving an average of 861 for the first bit of the season.
