It defies convention.

Good efort by Leigh to beat Fev on their own middin. Clearly that shillacking given out to Leigh, by Fax ,earlier on the season was a one off. Not many teams will got to Fev and come away with anything!Looks like Fax and Fev now both have one thing left to concentrate on re end of season! I actually think Batley may have a say in the NRC if the draw is kind to them.408 spectators for the curent Champions of our league is a tad embarrassing !

Exactly rich, they just let the other "TOP" clubs think they will clean up and do all the talking and stay quitely focussed and just get on with the job.

They have the right blend at the moment of a good pack who Brambani works off, a dangerous three quater line who most other fans would struggle to name but are better than most and the x factor of QLT, Yensi and Talla.

All on poor gates ......

Good effort???? It was an massive effort!!

We gave three length of the field interception tries and the one Leigh scored of their own back, Fev defenders somehow conspired to tackle each other and allow Gardner in unopposed!

Then, after the Fev benevolence of the first afe came the defensive stint that really won the match for Leigh. They were blowing out of their @r ses but never stopped tackling. That''s cup footy. Ya play like sheeeite in the league, you rectify it next week. Cup footy... play like sheeeite and both last years finalists are out!!!

Ah well..... I'll eat worms for a couple of hours then I'll be reight!

He'll be stood with me next week v York in the Lagoon before the game should you wish to come and tell him directly!

Colin..... Dodger57 was amongst our number at the U20's friendly!!!

Thanks for the good wishes Mick , but as you know Charlie takes nothing for granted , our defence was really good today , we played like Trojans , our 17 lads would have been welcomed at the Alamo ,alongside Davy (Caroli) Crockett.

Anyway hope to see ya soon at the LSV in a couple of weeks , bring Littlerich with you .

Looks like the real chokers stood up today!

Sheffield will be odds on favourites now.

Lets hope they give it to London in the cup too.

Charlie, you can't lose, you've got two horses left, it's going to be difficult if Leigh draw Sheffield though, well not really if Leigh lose you can still brown nose with your seagull friends.

Cheers Fax for kick starting our season & giving us the wake up call from our visit to the Shay this season

Now Now John , im a Leyther through and through , and i hope we draw the seagulls at the LSV in the next round , we owe them big time ,Fev job done ,and seagulls next .

Oh it always comes back to bite ya faxcar, but i'll live with that. We were poor and Leigh were better. Best team won, nuff said.

But a closet Seagull.

Not the best reply but i do like the saddam scud bit, i may use it in the future. Now do i have to go all the way to Wigan for humble pie.

You ought to calm down a bit mate, as every other fax poster seems to have realised it was a wind up n a bit tongue in cheek as i did say on my second post. It's come back n bit me on the arris, but i'll live with that. We move on just the same as you do.

Short n sweet. Love it.

I'll be in the top house for lunch before the York game and in the blue lagoon with rotherham fev fan prior to kick off. Feel free to come over and discuss my post.

It hurts less to go out in the first round anyway rather than lose in the final.

Hey, hey, calm down, calm down, hahahaha



You lot thought you would be lifting the cup in our stadium didn't you after thursday night's loss at Dewsbury ?

Crowd-less Eagles are the top dogs now pal but I wouldn't rule out the real Doggies either, I might even attend the NRC final now depending who's contesting it.

I thought we'd lift the cup regardless of thursday night's result!

If you are one of the favs, an exit hurts equally what ever stage you lose.... in my experience at least!

Exactly Dodger, the times iv'e been burned to a crisp over a rugby game.



Just been talking to one of my workmates who is a Fev season ticket holder and he said pretty much the same.

Fev started like a house on fire, then a few wayword passes and intercepts, Heppy not defending too well etc.

Rovers were camped on Leighs line for long periods but they defended like titans and held on.

Must have been a cracking atmosphere with it undecided untill the last few mins.

At least you lads have manned up and taken it on the chin.

Onwards and hopefully upwards.

I know quite a lot of people dont like him but a lot of credit must also go to Mark Aston at the eagles.He does seem to get the best out of his players tactically and motivationally. Think he is quite shrewd as well.
I dont know how they attract the players they do on their crowds but I wouldnt mind some of their team down at the shay. Brambani and Walker do control things pretty well and bring in the outside backs to good effect. The forwards are always impressive , they set the platform for the halfs and any team with Yere and QLT will always score tries. Just cant work out how they afford to carry on because playing at Bramall Lane , Don Valley cant be cheap. But credit to them they are going really well at the moment.

Agreed faxcar, n ya FEV mate has got the game bang on. Should have put that in the league express n saved paper.

Don't think many Fax fans will be there for that game!
