Leigh were sluggish and tired for me, but still good enough to force a win. That's what winners do.



Halifax lack pace but very good in defence.



Both sides lost their heads and the brawl was ridiculous.



The ref was average at best.

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.

Very Good Summary There Pat. Totally Agree.

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.

Dream on Cokey boy.

If you thought that, then i can tell you that we were very very poor today ,so that makes you guys a complete pile of Shite.

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

I'll tell you what, do yourselves a favor,and Leythers for that matter,and beat the BULLS HITTERS at the Blackpool Bash.

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.

THANKS.

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.

Aye, Ben stepped up. Fantastic.

we were very poor today but still won so leigh deserve credit for grinding out a win.

fax fans think they were good when in reality they were as bad as us.
