Is what Fax gave us today , we were garbage , too slow in every way , thought , attacking , defending , passing

They play without fear and with the confidence that they will score more than the other team

As Alan put on another thread , they play the way I want Leigh to play

The fans were chanting easy at one point and it was

dont know if it was because they are so good or we just did'nt show up today for one reason or another , like i said on another thread its not the losing its the way we lost

they scored tries for fun today. They were also singing "we've got penky you've got porky" cheeky blighters .

I sat half way up the the main stand behind Rowley (he was on the 3rd row with Knox and another person).
He walked over to his seat with his hand in his pockets. He didn't once go to the bench just gave instructurions to the bench over the radio. At one point the guy on the bench came over to Rolley to ask him question. I just thought it looked odd to me Rowley just didn't look enthusiastic. I may be totally wrong but the team is young and I would of thought they need some encouragement.

Is it , look at it again

Yes, you are totally wrong there



Donlan, Maden, Stewart, Nanyn, Watson, Hobson,




The others aren't exactly 'young' - in SL a youngster is 17'ish - we are still calling 23 year olds young.

Not forgetting Smith , Armistead , Mcconnell , Wingfield and Hill and Taylor both with around 100 appearances

Not a young or inexperieced team at all at the moment

We have one or two old heads in the side Steve but you can,t call C Hill or a couple of the others old can you ? Well even if you can I can,t.

Not old no , but neither are they inexperienced withh 100 games at this level

At the start of the season we had a young team in several matches , but the team out there today could not be classed as one

What happened to all the 'Rowley is the saviour' posts after the Widnes game thought then we where being a bit premature,now we are on his back,anyone who thought Mr Rowley was going to do a better job than Neil Kelly is a fool,I don't know paul but it comes across that he is a 'My way or the highway'type of person and i have worked with managers like this and all they do is breed contempt.
I don't know the answer but i am glad we are not going s**t or bust like others that MAY be on there s next season.
KEEP THE FAITH

it was fact though however cheeky the song was we do have penky and you do have porky( Hobson)

you may get the last word if you do get penky wouldnt have thought you would but if you do then you have the last laugh.

Thought Sean was very quiet today , probabley a good job or you could have stuck another 20/30 past us

Well I don`t know wether he`s off to Leigh or not but when he was off the field today did you look like a side who could have beaten us?
It`s like someone said on our own board we wouldn`t want him to go to Leigh or anywhere else but if he does so be it. I have faith in our coaching set up that we can attract as good a player to replace him like the good players we have .Me thinks Paul Rowley can`t do that so may try to put all his eggs into one basket by trying to play the friendship card to sign by offering more money.But that will leave less for the rest of the squad most good players look at the big picture about a team unless they are offered a great deal more.I say good luck to Penky whatever he decides to do he has done a very good job at Fax and I would wish him well wherever he goes but I hope he stays with us but not a disaster if he goes.

Heard from a good source today that he signed a new two year deal at Fax this morning before the game. With an option for a third year if we get into SL.

i thin penky didnt have his best game i think thats cause he was trying too hard to play better against his home town club he was trying to hard.

we have other players than penky but he is one of the best players in the league and we need to keep hold of him cause there are a lot of good teams who would happily take him off our hands.

By all accounts most of our players have signed for next year. It was mentioned that theres 3 or 4 that havnt yet, one being Wilson, another being Shad who may be going to Aus for personal reasons.

But anyway whether they have signed or not look at it this way. Any single player playing for us at the moment would be wrong in their head to sign for another team in this league only half way through the season. They are playing for one of the top teams in the league, enjoying their rugby, challenging for honours, getting paid well with all win bonuses, i cant see them being in any rush to sign for a team like Leigh, no disrespect intended.

Sounds disrespectful 2 me.

It should have been six more. I have never seen such an obviously good try as Penky's disallowed and the ref was stood right in front of him!
