It seems to me that Halifax are getting a little bit carried away at the moment. Their Brawler of a coach seems to be beleiving that they are unbeatable. granted they have started the season very well but when you read comments like "we will score 100 against someone this season" "we are easily the best side in this league" then you get councillours demanding they get promoted as they are so good, they have a good go at at a SL side but still lose in the end and all of a sudden they are all but there. The only thing they seem to forget is that this season has really only just started and really does count for nowt anyway if us Widnes or anyone else have an exceptional season next or year after we will be in excatly the same position apart from we have superb facilities! and don't forget Fax have a worse Financial track record than us so they could go bust again!!!! If Fax believe their own press surely they would be better off keeping their expectations in house? Remember the Undefeatable Robins at Blackpool in the NRC Final?? Who do we play in the next round of the NRC?

Humility has never been a strong point in Yawksheer.

"I'd luv it if we beat them, I'd luv it"

Well they are the best side, although Toulouse away will be interesting, but they have the best players this year and it amazes me they stay under the cap as their gates are on par with ours.
That garbage about put them in SL now, did them no favours and their is a fine line between confident and cocky.
They should win the NRC and GF but you never know, didnt we beat a SL club, run another very close and batter all before us before imploding one season??

The put them in SL was politicians talking. Halifax as a club have distanced themselves from those comments.

I'm sorry.
Put yourselves in our shoes.

After years and years of false promises, let downs and embarrassments this season we finally seem to have got it right ranging from player selection through to management of the club.
I think we have every right to get excited about what is going on at our club and i know for a fact if it was Leigh who were in this situation that you would be saying the exact same things.

I couldnt care less what the coach is saying and to be honest i personally dont think we will go the season unbeaten or whatever. Aslong as we keep playing the rugby we have and winning games i will applaud anything the club does. The team this year has reminded me as to why i love rugby league and long may it continue.

Let us have our moment? I'm sure you will be in a similar situation very soon.
All the best Leigh.

Well said.

I wish we could say the same! Good luck!

We will do one day

I was having a pop at the club just that they should keep it to themselves as it can bite you on the .

We will be the same next year and i will be gloating

Aren't Leigh recently becoming known as the club who excitedly announce stuff rather than keep it quiet that HAS come back to bite them on the booty? ha.

No worries mate, im glad your looking out for our club and not wanting us to be shamed. Very nice of you!







I hope you are successful next season! As i have said before.. This division needs a good Leigh side.

A couple of mis-quotes there. Matt never said "we are easily the best team in this league". And Yorkshire lacking humility...Matt is from Widnes. After 10 years of absolute turd at fax, we are more than humble.

The politicians diatribe was nothing to do with the club, you know that. Dont interpret fact to suit your conclusion.

The confidence we have is that we are for the first time in years, enjoying watching fax play, and enjoying rather than enduring being a fax fan. Who would begrudge us that...surely not begruding lancastrians?



Is not that we are winning - its how we are playing, and the togetherness of the whole club.

Sorry Mr Wizzard but you obviously haven't read todays LGEXPRESS which is a Yorkshire Publication by the way


"We didn't suprise ourselves with how we played. We're the best team in our league by a country mille, and this team is not far off SL"
Thats what he said Old Big ED!

I've heard from some MP's that Halifax have asked if they can become a country of there own right and stop Australia and NZ total dominence of the Rugby League World Cup by winning it themselves and next season they are odds on y William Hill to win everything including all 3 divisions, Challenge Cup and the NRC........

Its only what ive heard

I believe all Fax fans are excited and why not ? It`s nice to go and watch exciting free flowing rugby for a change not the dire one man 5 passes and a kick that we`ve had for years.For the fans who have stuck by our club when all the rubish was going on I salute them and if they want to get excited and even over excited then good on you.

So that's who we are modelling our 'style' on!



Seriously though, when we've had this debate on our forum, about exciting rugby, and winning rugby, the conclusion always seems to have been that you can have one, or the other, but not both! Nice to see that they can go hand in hand!

We in Yawksheer (as you put it), are so humble, that after years of thrashing you in the "Wars of the Roses" only ending by one of your lot marrying the rightfull heir from "Yawksheer" , to save your county from being wiped of the map, and becoming a satalite of "Yawrksheer" ,like "Todmoordoom". We have to settle for a "White Rose" stained by the blood of your forefathers as the "National Flower of England".Do'nt preach humility to a"YORKSHIRE MAN". Keep your powder dry you might need it to fight of the "Wigoon hoards" on your door stop.

Keep smileing we might both just manage to scrape into Sooopeerr League by the turn of the next century.

Dont quote me on this being a scouser and from a county that doesnt have a war like history but didnt Lancashire win the war of the roses and thats why we have a red rose as our symbol??????

NO we were drawing but someone from a place called Red Hall rode into the middle of the fight said the rules had changed during the battle, it would be decided by a golden punt which would be the union of the two sides in marriage.
By the way the person who rode in was not Nigel Wood as there were RSPCA represented on the field of battle.Well that is the story handed down through generation anyway.

What are Leighs crowds this season? Bear in mind aswell we have no reserve side so any money that would have been spent on that has been spent on the first team squad.

Our Chief exec said the club was embarrased by the call from the MP's to be put in SL.

We're well away it could all go wrong this season, but theres nothing wrong with enjoying a winning team whilst we have one.

I'd rather have a motivator like Matt than Kelly any day

Rowley is coaching now mate.

Even better
