Calland had Brannighan, Black (on form) and Royston with an immense pack to boot, plus Fev were just starting to evolve as consistent championship peformers.

I could have coached a GF win that day



Once the pack are fully fit and our 6&7 combinations have more serious game time I think we'll take some stopping this season.. The CC will be very interesting for both teams also.

not that simple for them to return straight to the team, worrincy, patterson, morrison, barlow, aizue, divorty and casey would all walk back into most teams in this division. what yesterday showed is the strength in depth fax now have.

You played well yesterday and that is not in dispute,but consistency is the key I think both coaches will have learnt a lot from that game. I was really pleased with how we came back at you from 22-6 down on your own patch with a largely Fax backed crowd. A test of a great team is how you react when things are not going well for you, discipline confidence etc...We have a long season ahead and it is too early for anyone to start popping the corks..



I think you would find it more difficult at our place , having said that any other coaches/fans that watch the match back on DVD will have seen that the bar has been raised this season.

I tipped Fax,leigh and FEV to be in the mix all season with the spoils switching back and forth all season.From what Ive seen I see no reason to change my prediction and don't think that you will be able to put a fag paper between those 3 sides in 2012...If we all manage to keep our injuries in check that is. Good Luck to all 3 teams..

Correct, good post.

Some very good and well informed posts here. Really enjoyed this thread. Nice to see both sets of fans talking about the greatest game instead of arguing. looking forward to another great season!

When does the DVD of the game come out?

Got the fev version today. That's me sorted this evening! Do nice with a bottle of decent red!

i wouldnt mind a copy of this - it would sit on my dvd rack just underneath Ben Blacks drop goal!

That would be in the ancient history section

Your no: 13 was quality, ashell is it? Made a good impression, reminds me of tonks!

The fight was sod all!! Seen worse in a convent!

Hailing Mary

Dont know what he was doing in there but i do know he will of been talking uttter shiiiiiite and boring everyone to death

Genuinely

Bostock ???

It was Haley who copped a red ( nose ) card, but word has it that cap'n Dickens was the instigator.

Absolute bob on! I don't think Fev fans would have grumbled if Fax won that game and even though I was dissappointed, the way Fev came back and took their chances they deserved to win.

Too right, if anything it'll re-iterate that we have to take our chances, concentrate until the hooter and set up right for short kick offs without Haley.

It's the first Fax game I've been to this year and I was very impressed, not just with the performances but for the spirit of the team. It's clear for all to see, when we score they are genuinely overjoyed and when we concede they are genuinely frustrated. Certainly no lack of desire or effort and that is as speccies putting our hands in our pockets want. I was also impressed with the lads on the bench and the staff on the sideline being visibly involved too!

Just watched the first half on the DVD, and we were brilliant in many aspects but we definitely need to cut out those mistakes and also have a bit more organization and planning when we get onto the oppositions try line, we missed out on 4 or 5 'should have been tries' on Sunday. Apart from that we played very very well.

that last 5 mins was surreal

Bogg off.
