As I said Widnes and Leigh are the best teams this year.

Wow. You didn't last long



Could have said EXACTLY the same thing at the start of last year - in fact - you probably did.

Patience my friend.

Is the Grand Final this month? Jeez, some people are really wetting themselves already



They never learn do they?

He's setting us up for a big fall isn't he, im guessing you will be donning your Sheffield Eagles slippers tomorrow eh Rich?

Oh aye - you can bank on it.

Come on you seagulls

I was about to post up "Happy with a bonus point" but the last minute try put paid to that.

Only a mutant loss tomorrow can lighten my heavy heart

Have a latte

Indeed, have a latte and reflect on 80 minutes of Internet forum stress.

My brother says it was the worst he as seen Fax play Toulouse was poor fax just worst. Calland getting a lot of flack in the south of France. This is a awful start

Aizue has started this year how he ended last year, Awesome. He might be past his best but is still one of the best props in the league. Branno and Maloney are MASSIVE losses for us this year and they are far from being replaced with Jones and Gannon.

Its early days but the way the fixtures are this year a slow start could be all the hard games lost early doors.

Sheffields fault and i blame them for the fixtures ball oxed.

Time will tell with us but in all honesty i do not hold out much hope this year, Too much messing about with the squad and rotating the players.

Not the best start but I'd rather we get this out of our system early in the season than start great then end nowhere.

Giving Calland stick at this point of the season is utterly ridiculous and helps nobody. We've seen how he can turn things around, I don't know why people are so keen to get on his back. How do people call themselves Supporters and then fail to support the coach/team when they need it, instead turning against them and adding to the problems. Childish.

poor result but expected it really,the pack calland has taken to france was no where near strong enough to get us a result agaist players ov brenden worths standard. we must get back to starting with gannon and aizue and penky at 9 sec row go with banny and nash and barlow at 13. bench would be frank,ostick,beswick,chandler. the backs with goddard and patterson in will make a massive difference.also on form young fieldhouse would start as miles is way off the pace at present.calland must deceided who is half back pairing is and stick with it as you cant play black,jones and holly in the same team

Has anyone actually thought Toulouse might have just improved over the close season and wanting to make their home ground a fortress?

No one will be thinking of this game come the end of the season. We've got 11 days rest before the big one at home to Fev, that will tell us more about where we are.

Mght have something to do with the cost of going to support them?????

Apart from Haven away of course

I'm not so sure it will Haighy. We've 9 out at the mo - there may be a couple back by the fax game but we are still likely to be going into the Fax game with several key players missing!! So I'm not sure it will!

You forgot about Whitehaven on Weds!! Won't be easy up there and is a must win game for both sides!!

haighy are you havin a laugh keighley beat them last week and london skolars ran them close in france.we should be beating teams like toulouse with the squad fax have

That game is destined never to be played



There is no such thing as an easy game in this league, especially travelling down to Toulouse. Plus don't forget, because we are Champions teams will raise their game even more against us.

Some Fax fans have very short memories to think we only have to turn up to win certain games.

Also, Leigh finished in 3rd last season. They lost 7 matches.

Quite frankly i've no idea how this season is going to pan out and yes, we have made a poor start again this year but i'm certainly not going to write off my team after one Championship match.

They have improved but to be honest Fax have to beat such teams if they want to finish in the top 3. We are there to be shot at and we know each team will want to beat the Champions. That means Fax need to step up. This is not just down to Matt Calland but also the players have to be up for each game and put the work in for 80 minutes. If anybody thinks Fev will be easy because they have a few out then they better not step on the pitch! Matt Calland gets some criticism some justified. But the players must also look at what they are doing and look at what they individually and as a team need to improve on. Last season was last season and its now what counts. If Fax are to have a good season certain things must change and certain players for me have been here a couple of years and have not impressed. Others are 35 or so and simply the body cant take the punishment at that level as in the past especially a forward.

What was the crowd size, how many from fax?

1,200

Exactly

disspointing but to reflect was always a hard game and haven on weds not an easy period for Fax
Lets try and pick up the pieces beat Haven if and then be fresh for Fev and beat them thats what I want anyway!
