Thought same,tough call but his time will come and IMO it's correct call.

No Will Sharp, is he injured?

Still injured missed Batley too.

Shame as his strong carries supporting the forwards would have helped.

Back line looks like.
1. Moss. (QLT who are yet, who are yer.)


Wingers. McGrath + Salty.
Centres. Barber + Heaton.

Unless he moves Butler into the centres and plays Heaton on the wing for a bit more grunt up front.

I'd go with latter.

Its a strong side - but I hope JWH gets game time in the next match, he played well at Batley

Been told he took a knock at Batley and not being risked.

Leigh is vulnerable....please put a big Halifax nail into their coffin for the getting into the middle 8's please.

Your boys were outstanding we got out of jail then. Best team at LSV all year.

Won it lost it drew it lost it. More composure in front of their sticks required certainly not kicks. Was it just me or did the ref miss a blatent offside when the ball rebounded back to crooks. Too far away to see what went wrong for their last try. . One we should have won having got to that 18 v6 score line but that's sport. Some excellent performances today across the team . Butler at very strong again . Salty had his best game in a long time. Maher carried very strong.

Great performance from all today. Play like that until the end of the season and we'll be reight. On to Sale we go. Up The Fax!

Certainly would like to see that try again. Would also like to see the build up to their 1st 2nd half try as it looked like Salty was tackled in the air and should have been a penalty so total momentum switch with them scoring soon after. Probably 2 crucial mistakes cost us both by players that you mention, Butler and Salty, but they had really good games otherwise.

A cracking game and one we probably should have won with a bit of luck but we showed why we are doing so well and on that performance we probably beat every team in the league barring Toronto. Just need to grind out a result at Swinton next week which will be tough to back up after today and I don't envy Leigh as they have an even tougher trip to France.

Stood behind it, he landed and offloaded he should have kept hold. Probably thought he would get pushed back over.

Cracking game of rugby and certainly better to watch than some of the dross I watch every week on SL. Two good sides going at it hammer and tongue to get the win. Mistakes against the better sides ususally get punished and they did today.
Lots of twists and turns to go yet in the remaining 7 games.
Pains me to say it but, for once, Charlie did know!
Get back on the horse next week and hopefully have Tyrer/Sharpy/JWH back to add more competition for places.
See you at Sale.

Absolutely.

Ditto

Atmospheres not Leigh's South stand with LS28 was fantastic . Excellent afternoon out.
Well done to Leigh for opening the stand and allowing pay on the gate. Good stuff the rest of the matches are must wins now fax. That's one that got away but the effort from the team was spot on by everyone

Massive effort from both sides and what a game as a result.

24 unanswered points with a couple of wrong decisions in that period proved just too much in the end for Fax.

People often talk about the game after so the lads need to get their bodies and minds right for Swinton.

Great effort from the lads what a terrific match we lost to a good try but whilst we had one lucky try they had 2, I would like to see that short kick off again as not sure if it came off one of their players to them it was dead spawny but hey ho.
Great support as well.

Budge, in every game, especially when they are so close and so important there will be "the incident" that affects the result, which could have, should have, would have been different and there will be two ways of looking at it.

1. When you win it's hard to tell.

2. When you lose it was so obvious that the blind cheating individual in the middle with questionable parentage and the robbing, spawny, talk about lucky

other lot seems to be the assessment.

Having died again from the result and all things being carefully considered i'll go with the latter one.

Neither of those are tries. 1st one should be a play the ball to Fax, ball comes out after his arm hit the floor and as has been said the 2nd one should be a scrum to Fax for accidental offside.

Spot on but at end of day the team that made the most mistakes lost.That pass from dummy half was an absolute killer and why Fairbank didn't put that winger in row z for clinching try is anyone's guess.Don't blame ref for the offside the lino was stood in the perfect position and just ran off-total waste of space.

Agree on the second one. But not the first. Think he got rid of the ball in time.
