Why won't Makali be playing????

Wasn't one of the purposes of having a reserve team so that those that were injured could get game fitness on return from injury in the 23's instead of throwing them back sraight into first team scenario?

No, I thought i was to get them back to game fitness, If its fitness levels due to injury then fair enough i have not got a issue with that but playing a injured player in the 23s isn't going to help him recover is it.

Do you think the coaching staff and medical staff are that stupid that they would play an injured player in the under 23's

Miles Greenwood? Just because a player says he is fit dosnt always mean he is.Which was the case with Miles. Claerly shouldnt have played and look where he is at now.

Thats a FIRST team issue not a player playing in the under 23's for the sake of it.

Miles played against medical advice.

I accept certain players will or have to occasionally play FIRST team not 100% but this was a comment about the 23's.

fax setting off thursday afternoon says in courier with larder saying so much down time can be hard. hope this is not case of getting excuses in early.

Well Patterson was injured before he played in the under 23s last week and is still not ready for toulouse so either took more knocks at the 23s game or wasn't ready to play, Clearly isn't ready to play again yet.

Do you know he is not ready or you submising from the injury report that actually states he still might make the game??

Do you think Patts would have played in the 23's if he had not been deemed fit enough?

Do you not think it would be better to give Patts a go in the 23's to give him game time and test the ankle in a 23's game to make sure he is ok before going back to the first team?

Or would you want him straight into the first team where if the unlikely happened and he broke down we lose a player for the game?

I would prefer him straight into the first team front row as prop, how does that grab ya ?.

Fits in well with the rest of the rubbish you been writing.

If you say so boss. Opinions and all that.

how many Fax fans are travelling over ?

Well i am

Optomist or glutton for punishment?

And he owes me a pint Sanjunien.

I see,another Yorkshireman with short arms eh ?

According to Frank everybody owes him a pint especially Yorkshiremen


I seem to remember buying him a pint in Sheffield another denizen of Greater Manchester with a selective memory.

Our first game out there saw 500 of us, our second, 300, this year 100?
I guarantee there will be less of us this weekend, but like the 3 previous games the report will say 1500.
There are more Frenchmen selling sausages than in the crowd.
90 of us, 200 of them = 1500.

true story - after the TO v Fev game on saturday I asked in the office the amount of spectators, they mumbled amongst themselves and one came out with 1800 - I said 'WHAT no way',then they said 1500 - I replied it was more like 8OO max
The RFL report said 2000 and the match reports were told to put 1500 !

you tell me how it works ?

great Fev turn out tho' must have been 150 ish

Hey and you said I was wrong the other week when i said that Fax game was not what the 'official crowd' was???
Teams make up crowds, you can as the RFL want you to and it impresses people.
Sad the game has come to making up supporters.

no,there were more than 500 at the last TO v Fev game - but the official figure was given as 1070 or whatever ! I didn't count them but there were more than your 500,I have no idea how many there really were at that game,probably about 700 ish IMHO
Last saturday was annnoying especially when I read the RFL report with 2000 !
i'm with you mate but I can only tell you what I was told officially.They were telling deliberate porkies to make it sound good though i'm sure the season ticket holders are automatically included in any figure.Last saturdays figure was literally plucked out of the sky because I was there.It was scandalous !
Are you travelling down ? if so,we can count them together over a pint !
