Some surprises here.Mitch Clark in on DR maybe upset Powell by signing for pie-eaters..


No Mahar but was ordinary last week.No JWH-seems harsh as he isn't a centre but Jinky is back at last and hopefully Butler
and Sharp.

No Ed Barber as well.

Been out since the cup injured-anyone know how long ?
Are you going to game as it's only a tenner ?

After watching both Fax and Bradford in recent weeks, I’m going for a Bradford win by 12,I predicted Fax would only win one game leading up to your game at Dews on 21st July, it appears I was being generous, you won’t win any ,Bradford are a stronger side and home advantage will favour them.I think Webster will return maybe Keyes as well,Kearney has said a loss for Bradford will put an end to their top 5 hopes, so they will be up for this game.

No, tenner too much to go in that dump!

Let's hope your forecasting is as good as your knowledge of the bullies coach!

Pete I was told by 3 different Bradford fans on Sunday, how much I looked like a John Kear,I said I’ve a lot more hair.

.
Pete isn’t the entrance money on a Sunday going to a good cause.?I was impressed with Ethan Ryan and Peltier,and with Keyes and Webster back, I really predict the Bulls.

Not unless you agree with lining the bulls pockets a good cause.

Not sure what you gain from your mystic meg predictions. You're predictions are no more valid than the next guy. You should be worried about DB running your club into the ground again. It's pretty clear you will be splashing the cash again next year and will probably go back FT, offering out cash to plenty of journeyman. Surely Leigh are primed for a decent reserves set-up instead of being a breeding ground from Saints, Wigan and Warrington.

Good Morning Dave, well it is here in Sunny Leigh, not sure what time it is where you are.
Nothing to gain from my predictions, just an unbiased opinion, I never sit on the fence you just get splinters, and I love predicting sporting outcomes, though I admit my forecasts in the Fax fantasy Comp are disastrous this year.
As for Derek he doesn’t worry me at all, we can’t get any lower than pre Christmas expectations of 2018,and have come a long way forward since, maybe 1 more signing to complete the jigsaw this year, I live in hope.
We will never compete with Saints, Wigan , and Warrington, ,my brother in law Coached Tommy Makinson a few years ago ,it’s funny how players choose the paths they tread.

Myself , I love the Championship, SL is not the be and end all.Anyway let me know your plans for a UK visit, if they are still on.

Im sure Leigh can attract and retain a decent quality of youngster. Great facilities and exposure. I guess I get a little apathetic when guys like Patterson get re-signed (even us with Scott Grix) when they aren't really going to be apart of any long- term plan. Just my view. I hope you guys do the right thing are start rebuilding your academy with the talent that there is the area and not rely too much of DR. Same with Fev, frankly they're an embarrassment for me. Maybe for work but not intentionally haha. I rely on my folks to give me the lowdown each week!

Nowt changes. Penalty after penalty, mistake after mistake.

You guys know there was a game on today, right? Would have been nice to see more than 50 of you there

Sidecar Army !!

Standard Fax half hearted performance for this season. As Hudds says penalty mistake penalty mistake penalty mistake. Its only that the Bradford forwards look so unfit that we managed to get in the game. It just felt like a game between two teams who are exactly where they deserve to be, way off been good enough for the top 5 but too good to end up in the relegation battle. We are becoming Batley.

I don't think the forwards was the issue for your 2 late tries, the sin bin of Flanagan was the reason you came back into the game for me.
Also thought Clark didnt look interested.

Probably shows how poor we have been recently as I thought he were one of our better players in the pack.

Well Bradford are still in the mix for top 5 to be fair, it's a long way back for Halifax though. I guess you'd probably need to win 7 or 8 of your final 9 games to make the top 5 now. I don't think it was our forwards being unfit that let Fax in, more the silly sin bin from Flanagan. Still got a good day out at Bolton next month to enjoy though, hopefully your lot represent the Championship well!

Well I think he's been dropped by Cas due to his move to Wigan and I assume how he has conducted himself since it was announced. I guess Fax must have been desperate for numbers in the pack to bring him in under those circumstances.

Did you get your 10,000? Lol!

Well there was certainly more than 50 0f us typical sneering attitude from some Dulls

I think if you're fans had entered into the spirit of the occasion then there could have been a chance of getting somewhere near that attendance.

Grix in the worrier has said that he thinks the team has reached the end of it's natural lifecycle. Inclined to agree and perceptive but still no excuse for yesterday. I know coaches don't make mistakes but clearly it was tough to understand what structure we were playing to. We seemed to have some early success down that left hand side but as soon as QLT got put into touch, we couldn't complete. I think that we must have down at 50%. Grix isn't getting across his game plan accordingly as some of the ridiculous offloads in our own 20 were testament to that. Thought Brandon Moore was awesome yesterday and would be surprised if we kept hold of him. Murrell needs a rest so I think we should see QLT at 6 and Johnston at 7. QLT looked threatening with ball in hand yesterday and Johnston need to be brought at halftime, not with 15 minutes to go. Ultimately, we were always playing catch up. A more composed first 40, even going in 8-10 points down, I think we would have sneaked it at the end.

There is enough quality in that team to be in the 5. What worries me is that it's all well and good talking about Grix building his own squad but I have concerns about the quality of player that we can attract in a highly competitive division.

absolutely shocking game. Abysmal 1st half, didn't really improve until Flanagan got sent off.

Butler needs to go. His heads not in it anymore.
Scott Grix doesn't seem to have offered anything since coming.
Larroyer looks disinterested and i don't understand Cooper, am i the only one that doesn't see how he can be playing at this level?

anyone know why JWH isn't being played at the minute? He needs to be in for me!

Jonno was fine but as mentioned above, he needed to have been brought in long before the last 20.
QLT surprised me on that left edge, i thought he was brilliant in the second half.
Other than Sharp, Robinson & Salty, i couldnt tell you who else was even on the pitch, just bang average players playing poor rugby.

Totally agree with all that.Grix giving that stupid penalty away with 2 mins left-supposed to set a fecking example-he's been every bit a liability than an asset since his arrival.Cooper couldn't catch a cold and while Morris is solid he offers nothing that an amateur player couldn't give.
