| Quote ="Pat Haddigan"Like somebody said earlier, at 6-14 I could see nowt but a Fax win, we looked so flat and they were really up for it.
They had a very simple game plan - drive hard up the middle, throw it wide when you can, kick deep and tackle everything in a red jersey, and it was very effective. As for the niggle, every coach in this league knows that if you niggle our lot they will lose their game yeds and go looking for retribution - again very effective today.
For a supposedly clever lad that Tom Armstrong is as thick as 2 short planks. In a tight game we've just got back in front by 4 points and with ball in hand he tups a defender (Murrell?) I've no doubt he didn't tup him for nowt but again, a bit of niggle and our lot lose their yeds. Culcheth Eagles under 7s know it's the retaliator who gets pinged.
On the subject of Armstrong, today was for me his worst ever showing for us. The second half Fax try was atrocious defending from him, Heaton carried him 10 yards to the line - not good enough Tom.'"
As a Fax fan thats complete opposite to what most of us were thinking at that stage. We have thrown a lot of games away this season and we do not seem to have an upset in us, not saying that we threw this one away because I thought Leigh were the slightly better of two very evenly matched teams on the day.
Heaton does not get the credit he deserves even from Fax fans. If he can improve his passing game he will be up there with the top 3 or 4 centres in this league. Its not the first time, and it wont be the last, that he makes one of the best centres at this level look distinctly average. I think it was out of that frustration that the headbutt came from.

You've been conned into believing you're a good side by playing a very poor Leigh display today.

You had to be poor for us to get near you, dropped balls and rushed passes under pressure does seem to suggest we played just a very very very small part in that though.

| Wonder what was up with Martyn Ridyard today? He had an uncharacteristically quiet game, and probably contributed to two of the 'Fax tries. Surely it was no coincidence that we had, for the first time this season, a half back on the bench? Things did seem to pep up for us, when Ben Reynolds came on.

Derek good evening, hope you are well?Some Faxers can't see the Wood for the trees they have a holier than though attitude, which most Leythers can see through, Leigh gave us a below par performance today with only a few players putting in good displays however we still won ,sign of a good team 24 on the bounce, Fax were crowing after the first 2 games of the season they were top of the League then,it will be interesting to listen to RM the Fax Coach next week on his verdict , this guy would make a Philadelphia Lawyer envious.
Bottom line is Fax LOST ,Leigh won ,Fax have now lost 50% of their games and will lose at least another 5 maybe 6 before the season is over ,giving the 7th place in the League, my message to GFB?Don't ya wish you had a team as good ours?Don't ya.

| Quote ="HXSparky"I did see the Armstrong butt (nothing alleged about it, it happened). From what I saw, it was a Leigh player that threw the first punch (but obviously can't say what provoked it and Im not sure it landed). What happened afterwards will be sorted out by the disciplinary.
Not surprised if RM did tell the Fax players to wind Barlow up, or indeed why that would be "hidden". He could be a fine player, but imo he's a liability and can't control his temper. From what I saw, he was a real big man coming in as 3rd tackler most of the time.'"
the brawl was started by the fax player hitting the leigh player in the tackle before all hell broke loose

Leigh were so, so lucky to beat us today. he thinks Fax have a good pack, I've told you only Ambler would get into out pack, rumour has it Saltonstall is tired of losing pay,when Fui signed for Leigh he asked Tom Armstrong what the losing pay was at Leigh.?Tom replied he didn't know he'd only been at Leigh 2 years. :

I have not been impressed with our last two games and our defence has been crap. I would also drop players who lose their rags in 2 games running.

You drinking with your chairman tonight charlie? I do wonder what they put in the water at Leigh, Fax top of the table after 2 games despite losing their 2nd game? Only Saltonstall would get in your team but Ambler would get in your pack? More faces than a town hall clock you Charlie.

I don't think the Leigh Town Hall has a clock I've only ever met Mike Norris twice so I don't really know him I was wrong though Fax were top after 1 game away at Haven,again I repeat only Ambler would get into our pack ,I stand by that,and I said Saltonstall must be sick of losing, no exaggeration there .Greg it was you saying Fax had NO equals in the Pack and Fax players threw the first punches in the Brawl.
Fax will lose another 5 or 6 games before the season is over and finish 6 or 7 in the League I stand by that to.I will be cheering Fax on at Blackpool though,UP THE FAX.

Disagree. Fax's game plan was clear & they did everything to slow it down right from the start, once the ref made it clear he wasn't going to do anything about it it just got worse and worse. Almost every other Fax tackle could have been a penalty by the end.

Both teams were at it to be fair, Fax had to slow the game down to try and bring Leigh down to their pace and Leigh were bad for 3rd man in and a lot of cheap shots. We were laying on yes but the 3rd man in also does a great job of slowing the game down and is another area the RFL should look at because its a very clever tactic which does not get picked up on a lot.
When does the video normally go online?

Video of the match is usually up pretty soon.
And, yep, that 3rd man in "tackle", for me, can be ridiculous. Barlow was our man for that mainly. ****! Give me some boots! Because even I can do that!
For the first time, I have to say that even Paul Rowley talked some rubbish in his post match interview. OK, maybe he was still high on emotion after such a game, but even if Halifax claim to be a "footballing" side, but then change to a more "boring" style, so be it. It nearly worked. It's called tactics.
I really want to swear sometimes on these boards...

Im half way through the Rowley interview and I do not have too much of a clue what he is on about , he seems genuinely rattled but maybe it was just heat of the moment stuff.
Edit: He really just didnt take a cheap dig at Fax fans when talking about Danny Jones did he? He kind of back tracks saying they are paying their respects at keighley so maybe just out of context and a slip of the tongue.
Edit 2: That lass in the picture next to the video on the website is a bit of ok, might give my best mate a work out.

I'd say he was rattled in that interview, yes, but I said as much before.
And, no, he wasn't taking any kind of cheap shot. You've definitely misread that.
