Fax 50 Leigh 0 including a Worrency 70 yard try

The complete interview is in LE, the one played on Radio Leeds was an edited version. He did confirm he wont be applying.

After the game in the bar when interviewed he didnt comment much on Leigh`s performance, probably keeping that in house, but went on to say they had just came up against the best side in the league and when they run hot there isnt a right lot that you can do.

Based on our games so far this season, I still think Sheffield are the best - they clattered us at ours, when we were playing fairly well. I think it's wrong - obviously - to say Fax weren't good. IMO they were very good, but we undeniably helped them to look that way.

I'd be interested to see the possession stats. for the game - we hardly ever got out of our own half, and I can't remember us managing to kick the ball once, when we had the strong wind in our favour, in the second half. Our error rate was embarrassing, and completion rate must have been down around 10-15%. If you repeatedly give the other team the ball, especially a good team, you will get punished. Heaven help us if Wigan get so much possession!

A few of us were commenting on this after about 20 minutes of the game when it was still close that it were just a matter of time before Leigh caved in because it was surprising how easily our pack was dominating yours. It will take a very good pack to get on top of ours, Its easily the best pack I have seen at Fax in this division, big fast and mobile with some punishing defence.

Agreed - I can't see Fax 'folding' like they have sometimes in past seasons. Opposing teams are going to have to work (hard!) for their tries. Let's face it, ours came after you'd 'declared' yesterday. Brierley's was down to pace, running at a tired defender, and Penky's came after a comedy of errors and a couple of penalties to us.

Perhaps your boys were totally shocked that we'd actually got into your half?
