Not the best of predictions, Faxfans. Back to earth with a big bang against my "not so favourite" team.

How have Fax fared at Sheffield tonight?

Thank goodness they picked a time when I couldn't get there! Up The Fax

That's no help Pete, tell me the result?

Greg FBS certainly knew, I hate to say this

but I DID say opposing Coaches would, d have you worked out this season, Tubbs certainly has.Charlie knew.Where's Littlerich, hiding under the stairs.Tezzer Jagger your boys certainly took a beating.

Where have you all gone. You've suddenly disappeared off our forum. Lets all sing together.
Oh the wheels on the Fax bus are not going round.
Not going round.
Not going round.
Oh the wheels on the Fax bus are not going round.
Any more.
Not nice is it?

Not finishing off some of the first half moves was always going to come back and haunt us. They showed us up 2nd half with their clinical play and it could have been more. Certainly need to learn that we cannot score from every move and need to do the hard graft aswell. Saying that does not help playing ft team on a fri im sure they'll be difficult to beat for the rest of the part timers. Let's move on could be a blessing as some fans brought down to earth and see how we really are in reality.

Water off a duck's back. It's not like fans of EVERY other RL club is laughing at our loss. It's hard to go through a season having not lost. Just ask Derek



Anyway. This is an annual event. Sheffield are a phenomenon. Zero facilities; consistently good playing squad.

Well that second half was disappointing. played out of our skins in the first, must've bombed at least 6 chances to score and went through the eagles defensive line at ease. But when you don't take your chances it usually comes back to bite you on this @rse. No complaints from me (apart from the ludicrous obstruction call for Maneelys disallowed try) the eagles deserved their win, they stepped up a gear in 2nd half and never looked like losing after scoring early on. Will have to wait until highlights come out as I didn't see anything at the ground the view was that poor

not too disheartened as tonights game could've been so different had one or two of those passes in the first half stuck. Gaz Moore looks sharp but murrells kicking needs improvement. I expect changes for Worky. UTFAX

I would not have been too disheartened with a one score difference but poor how the game fell away so quickly start of 2nd. We conceded predictable tries again also like the pass out the back to Worrincy surely we should have learned by now. Some moves will come off in time though like the short pass to Fairbank from Moore that will stick on another day. Smeaton replaced by heaton aswell would have been a better scenario. I'm sure we'll do the job on Workington but need to be better v Batley i'm confident it's a blip

Pretty much sums it up.

We should have taken our chances in the first half, hell if we take half of them we win the game. The obstruction try was a joke, the Sheffield player knew he wasnt getting there and saw the Fax player and made an embarrassing jump on him, luckily for him the ref bought it because it was a terrible read.

As has been mentioned it might give us a kick up the backside because as average as Sheffield looked in the first half they got the better of us easily after they got a couple of fortunate tries. Our right side defence obviously needs work as Smeaton, Murrell, and Salty got dominated in the 2nd half. Personally if I were Marshall I would give Moore and Johnson a go in the halfs with Murrell at 13, Johnson is wasted at full back and needs to be in the thick of it in attack.

Johnston defo looks better in the halves with Miles hopefully back at fullback in time thats were i'd like to see Ben play in the big games especially

Well I must say in a way I half expected this,it's deja vu from last season,we beat a weak Haven at Haven then it all went down hill till our end of season run,most thought we were invincible well we are NOT , I hope RM gives the lads the rocket they deserve,I hate saying this but Charlie the Clown was right some Coaches may have worked us out,Mr Aston certainly has.
I just hope this is a blip but I have a feeling we will beat the weaker sides and suffer to the stronger teams,I'm not going to panic though, my advice get back on the horse and be ready for next week,the baiting will start tomorrow,the Leighers will be creaming themselves, I can see The Tripster and Mr Beaumont now Laughing,what a difference a week makes.Anyway where's Jaspers lead..?

Got to say whilst I don't do predictions some people on here were getting ahead of themselves on this one, I always felt it would be close and a real 50/50 match going either way but I was wrong but for some to say we would beat Sheffield by the scores they put was just plain stupid!

At last the voice of reason,I agree some saying we were going to win by 16 and upwards, get real Sheff are a good well coached side, all the insults fired at Mr Aston he must be laughing now, no games in this League will be easy, Fax fans are famous for getting carried away, let's back RM though and hope tonight was a bad day at Black Rock.

it's easy to say that after the match but if we'd taken all our chances we could've been 30-0 up in that game. Then maybe the score margins predicted would've been justified.

Lets not go down the could have ,would have,should have road,it will be if ands and buts next, we lost to a better team, we will play more harder teams very soon,let's repair the damage now and move on.

True. I'll be there supporting the lads all the way

Jagger's and the rest of you floaters, where have you gone from the Leigh forum? Come back. What has happened in the wider full world of Fax. Oh dear dear dear.

The difference is though that we weren't bragging that we would go through the season unbeaten and win the Challenge Cup as well! That's why people were taking the out of Leigh for falling at the very first hurdle.

Sadly the trolls from all clubs will always be around, the irony is while trying to take advantage of another clubs setbacks only invite contempt on themselves and their club when others retaliate in kind.

It's not easy but the best thing to do imho is press the ignore button and support your club.

Here we are.
Hooligan 12 v 42 to Fax
Jagger 24 v 28 to Fax.
Norman Bates,18 v 24 to Fax
Mr Hall 16 V 40 to Fax
Big in Japan, Fax by 18.
GFB Fax by 16.
Halifaxjohn Fax by 20

what are you drinking John?
Maybe Mr Jagger and Norman Bates expecting a hard game,and you loy call Jagger a Buffoon at least he is a realist and knows Fax are not the force in Rugby some of you think they are, anyway I'm not going to gloat as I have a fair few Fax fans as friends, it's not the end of the world, the good news is Leigh are at the Shay in 4 weeks time.Good news for Leigh anyway.

Don't know where you get your facts from, john.



30 man squad ? The rules only allow 25 at a time.

At the moment we have 22.

Mart ,I'm not being a Troll, Fans like your good self are the lifeblood of RL teams, I respect you but we Leythers have taken plenty of stick from guys like Jagger and others, I know Fax will bounce back, I hope your pain is easing, I mean from your Op?

Well I have to say I was shocked when I saw we were 20 down. Just need to regroup and get on with the next game.
