Having played both in recent weeks, how do Halifax fans see the Challenge Cup game going next Sunday?

Leigh have a settled team which you're more than familiar with, while Wakefield are perhaps going to be stronger against Leigh than they were when they played you guys.

Would be interesting to get an objective view, given the nature of Leigh's squad and the differences between Top end Championship and low end Super League

We've come closer to Leigh twice than we did against Wakey. All sorts of "stuff" going on at Leigh right now so plenty of distraction. I reckon Wakey will take this tie by 16.

. All sorts going on at Leigh ..I for one would be interested to no..

Come on wakey, beat the dirty Leigh

Dirty Leigh ?

Yes, Armstrong was properly out of order, didn't see the incident from my seat, but accept it happened, never any excuse for that.

Halifax for Super League & the Fair Play Trophy too, what with Manning & Bracek in your side & of course no Fax players sent off or binned at all was there ?

As for Wakey in the CC, a step too far for Leigh, the team is not on form at all.

Cmon Rich ,please enlighten us Leythers?Even Charlie doesn't know what you are on about

.As for Leigh being Dirty ,I didn't see the Armstrong incident ,but I DID see Bracek smack Sam Barlow as Sam was trying to keep away from the Brawl ,and Fax had 1 sent off and 2 sin binned also,and I think in right in saying Fax threw the first Punches I did say pre game that Leigh would react if you tried to bully us.
It will be very interesting to hear RM view of the game on Fax TV.

"Sam was trying to keep away from the Brawl "

Absolute comedy gold, that! Easy to see why you're a clown.

If all the worlds a stage, why do all the clowns come from Leigh?

Was stood 10 yards from the start of the brawl, Calahane I think his name is was leathering Haggerty in the face with his elbows in the tackle on our possession.

Haggerty took offence and punched out in retaliation hence us conceding the penalty, BUT the whole incident was started by Fax after they went behind through frustration, simple fact, watch the video, the brawl was needless with so little time left of the game.

By the way Bracek stood at the back waiting to take a cheap shot on Acton, clear as day, and he got him too, suppose it was his payback for Acton knocking him out around Leigh a few months back.

Sam was initially, he was calming down a couple of the players, and it worked.....but then he ended up 'brawling' like everyone else. It happened right in front of us. Did you have binoculars yesterday, or just blinkers ?

Cahalane......get it right

Touche!

Spot on Budge,I felt sorry for Sam he's always cast as the villain but he WAS trying to be the Peacemaker till he took a couple of Bracek cheap shots then he reacted like the rest ,remember Sam wasn't shown a card.I didn't realise Tyrer was red carded ,I thought he had been given a Yellow,that's a Bonus,he loves a wind up does Steven.Charlie knows.

I think Alex Rowe may have eluded to an allegation of drug test wrong doings on one of the social media sites last night, an allegation that appears to be floating around many camps due to a step up in testing throughout all clubs last week. Can't see it myself, your owners seems too sensible to let something like that occur on his watch..

There are more allegations of Sam spitting into the crowd again yesterday, its a too familiar story with him lately, Featherstone fans claimed it in Blackpool a couple of years back, he was cited for it at the Shay earlier in the season, although nothing came from it and again yesterday. Not sure I would feel sorry for someone who acts in that manner..

Thank you for the explanation,I don't go on Twitter so I've not seen any of what's gone on,and won't comment on it or the drugs allegations,as for Sam B I was seated at the North end of the West Stand so didn't see anything Sam has been said to have done,I was at the Shay when he was sent off,I presume you mean that game?However I didn't see Sam spit at anyone , he DID have a go at one of the Fax Staff in the Dug out but no way did he spit at him.
At times Sam is his own worst enemy ,even he would agree there but yesterday he tried to be the Peacemaker and it didn't work, I still enjoyed the game , the Banter ,and the Fax fans ,I will be there on the Saturday at Blackpool cheering you on.

Charlie. It was in this years game at the Shay, at full time when Sam walked off the pitch as he entered the area leading under the stands two young lads shouted to him "your rubbish Barlow" his response was a big golly that spiralled through the air and landed just in front of where my wife and I were stood, fact.

Just saying because I can't be bothered by all this Sam is this or that or all the recent behaviour by the teams was all down to Fax or all down to Leigh, their all involved in one way or another.

Looking forward to Blackpool where I suspect there may be a couple of players missing after yesterday.

Have a good day out.

Back on the thread, another close game.

Wakefield have some size in their pack and in the interchange and if their forwards get on top they will just get home, if not Leigh just pinching it.

So that's twice in one game.

Faxcar I agree with most of what you say , I again cannot comment on Sam , I abhor spitting and consider it very offensive, I was once spit at a fair fews years ago by a former Fax player though he wasn't playing for Fax in this game,I found it very offensive.Like you ,I to am looking forward to the Blackpool Bash and will be there Both days ,obviously I want Fax to win and will be trying to sit with the Faxers.
We Leythers have a game this Sunday before then ,like you I think it will be extremely difficult to win , I respect all opposition teams despite what I sometimes come across like,I just hope Leigh can put up a decent performance,fingers crossed.Anyway good luck for the rest of the Season.Charlie.

I think Wakefield by 12. It will be a tussle this one in the first half, but i fancy wakey to put daylight between the sides in the last quarter.

Wakey by 12 for me. Enjoy their new ground.! Regarding big Sam, he spat some water out of his gob onto the pitch in the direction of the Fax fans. It was right in front of me and owd lass. He had been getting some stick from our fans though. No big deal. He's alreight is Sam, I wish we still had him. Sportsman, shudds. Windswept APA 5.0 % Mmm!

Think we will have a few changes for Sunday - Platt will be back at centre, Higson on the wing, Spencer to prop, Hock to bench and Higham to provide the second hooker after losing Penky for the season to injury.

Doubt it

Didn't he sign for us once ,then changed his mind ?

Yes. Saints wanted him so he reneged before even playing a game.

Thought it was him.That misfortune has occured several times.Tea Ropati,Arron Hermiaa,
Brad Davis spring to mind.
