A Fax win by 18 points

42-12 to Fax, I'm hoping we kick on though last week was a tough match, not seen the 19 yet but think there maybe a couple of changes this week and next.

Although I would like to see us with a settled team, the next couple of weeks gives us a chance to try new things and rest any niggling injuries. Fax need to remember the 2nd half at Oldham and kick on from our last three games. Fax 34v10 Swinton.

Fax 40 - Swinton 6, hooker and replacement hooker both scoring tries!

Sharp replaces Saxton otherwise same team.

That's good, we know what Tommy can do and I think Sharp has been unlucky, got dropped after playing out if position, it's his chance to show us how good he can be. I guess RMs thoughts are that these 2 points are massively important, it'd be a travesty if we lost after all the hard work the team have put in over Easter.
Think I'd be looking to give Tangata the week off in the cup as well as looking at the halves and hookers.

Looking forward to tomorrow's game, those last 3 games will have given the lads a massive lift and the league table looks a lot better. As previously mentioned on here nows the time to start moving up a gear and getting the offloads and combinations going. On the flip side Swinton will no doubt give the boys a good workout defensively.

Glad Sharpies back, the team will be better for it once he gets going, would like to see Mitch get his offload game going.............and players backing up.

Im hoping we get 30 plus and restrict Swinton to single figures.

Swinton by 10

A confident Mrs Huddshay says Fax 48v0 Swinton.

Did you nil lowly Swinton then ?

Not even close there Norm

What can we say, a f@ck up of almighty proportions after a really good Easter period.

Give her a slap from me Pete.

And then get down the Shay and slap a few more heads.

Not sure what the excuse will be, 4 games in 2 weeks? That doesn't wash so I guess we all await the post-mortem.

Nigel was 50% right , Fax DID get 30 plus.



.

And the defence got a good workout, or more so worked over.

Now, where's that drawing board?

A very poor result. Without being too dramatic that has ruined our hopes for the season.

A day when Sheffield lost and teams below us all won. One eye on that trapdoor

I am not normally one for 'trolling' so I hope you let me off with having a bit of a laugh at this one!



What on earth happened there!!

Weren't you 16 - 0 up and then later 28 - 10 up or are my phone updates lying to me?!?!

Wow!

FWIW I reckon every single team is capable of a nightmare game & every team capable of playing above their normal level ...

Just look at our implosion from a big lead at Odsal early season.

No disrespect to Swinton but they should not be putting nearly 40 points on any team away from home this season especially not one thats defence has been so good for the last year or so.

If I were to have had a guess at this before the game I would have said Fax by 30-40 points, at 16-0 I would have said maybe 50-60 points. Thats not a problem a fan saying that the problem is when the players start to wonder by how many they are going to win.

I daren't mate. Sat in Percy's and we're both not happy. Saying that, Swinton deserved their win.

Pete, how wrong Di was.Swinton are a decent team. Charlie knows.

I would have thought that the boys saw a side of Marshall they haven't seen before. That took me back to Harrison's tenure,we looked liked a team of gym monkeys not rugby players and I'll leave it at that. Beaten by a team with talisman Josh Barlow who looked like the Midnight Cowboy.

Glad to see Charlie's been released back into the community........you Kant!

GFB, in pre season I remember you making a claim somewhere along the lines of you having the best pack in the division. In Tangata, Cahalane, Ambler and Moore you allegedly had 3 of the best 5 props in the league and with the likes of Manning and Fairbank you were going to continue your late season form and smash teams to pieces up the middle.

Which of those players would you say are letting you down currently? From reviews on here Manning is going great guns (although he didn't make any impact against Leigh) and Tangata seems to be having a decent year (who was superb against Leigh).

Just interested to here a revised review of your forward pack after you bigged them up constantly in the off season and yet they seem to have struggled so far even against supposed "lesser" opposition.

You was lucky at fev
