Despite enduring last Sunday's awful 2nd half at Batley I'm really looking forward to our return home to The Shay. This is a game where we have a good chance to open our account for the season and let's hope we take the opportunity with both hands. Looking on the London forum makes our fans seem very laid back in the face of a bad result. They certainly seem to be a club on the way down rather than up and we really need to take advantage whilst we can. Hopefully with the rub of the green and cutting out stupid mistakes and giving away stupid penalties we can manage the game better and I'll go for a Fax win by 20. Up The Fax!

Exactly Hudds, the point has been made about the huge disruption at Batley and I believe the first, which was out of their control led to the others that were firmly in their control, ie injury leading to fatigue, basic errors (trying to play the ball too quickly), frustration inevitably leads to ill disciple and as we all know penalties = points.
You can never legislate for injuries but we will have the best 17 available to start with and fixing the rest is firmly in our court, in that area you only get what you deserve.

Fax to give Laaaaaaarden a good tonking by at leats 3 scores.

I’m going to be cautious. Fax 26. London 10

London are getting weaker with each passing year. They were moderate in 2020, weaker in 2021, and have now gone part-time and lost another big contingent of what was left of their more experienced players.They look prime candidates for relegation to me unless they have a few gems amongst their new signings.

I thought Widnes might put 50 past them on Sunday, and wouldn't be surprised if Fax do this weekend. Their left side in particular leaked try after try against Widnes.

Yes i too would expect a big fax win this week 40-10 to the panthers.

Never underestimate any team , I’m not that impressed this season with Fax’s signings , which is why I predicted a Batley win on Sunday , however I think Fax will win this Sunday , but not by much , maybe 10 points .Charlie knows .

Hello charlie it is always good to chew the fat with a fellow fan of blackpool there is not that many of us on here. As for underestimating london you may not be that impressed with our signings but we look far stronger then london this season and i would be very disappointed if that didn't show on sunday. Terry knows.

Terry , I realise a fair few Fax fans are very knowledgable in terms of the game and this years squad , I truly believe every team has strengthened ,my tips of teams to struggle this year are Haven , Worky , Sheff , and London , im not sure in what order though .
Yeah Blackpool fans are a dwindling group , I truly love the place ,and love chatting with Fax fans ,as I said I expect you to get a victory on Sunday , I’m not sure about Fev v Leigh it will be extremely difficult , but the season will develope so intriguing , good luck for Sunday , I’ve entered 2 teams in the Fax Fantasy League this season , and I’m waiting to see how the first week faired .

Looking at fev v leigh i will say fev easy as the team on paper is far stronger

Yeah but the game won’t be played on paper , and have you ever seen McDonald , he’s a monster at centre , and we have Asiata, Amone , Aekins, who aren’t know in England , but all had blinders last week , as did Sam Stone , as I said it’s a long season , we have Hitchcox ,Wardle , and Ipape yet to come , plus a surprise signing .

Jamie Acton resigning?

Very good Pete , love yer humour.

I knew nothing about Brad Knowles before this season he's given the team more punch than any of our other forwards; I wouldn't be disappointed with either Roberts or Hewitt as a temporary replacement at least until Gee becomes available.

It's ok having blinders against Haven though isn't it? McDonald I agree will be destructive but Aetkins is at his level at championship. He isn't good enough for superleague let alone, NRL. Amone bit part at the Tigers and Sam Stone couldn't get a sniff at the Titans when they were running last a few seasons ago and lost out out Beau Fermor instead. You come and degrade our signings as not impressive but yet to me, you just have castoffs and an anti- vaxxer in Asiata. Like most of the imports, some of ours included, let's not lose sight that if they were good enough and brought value to the club, on and off of the field, they would be in SL or the NRL like your Joey Leluia's of this world.

I’ve said from the start Haven will be battling relegation this year ,so to me last weeks game wasn’t that much of a test , Monday against Fev will be more difficult.
You seem to be well versed on our imports , maybe Derek should be consulting you and not anyone from Abroad ,McDonald could have 5 or 6 tries on Sunday ,if he stays injury free will be in contention for top try scorer in the Championship, as for our other imports granted only 1 game gone, but Amone adds plenty of punch to our pack ,Stone the same and he has size and Asiata I respect everyone’s views on vaping it’s up to the individual ,added to young Smith at hooker and Sidlow and Ionane our props we have a very big mobile pack , which will shift a few on dry grounds .
Aekin was my Man of the Match after McDonald ,we lacked a decent full back for a couple of years now , all in all we will see .
I haven’t degraded anyone ,how many games have you seen from Singapore,we also have around 4 more players yet to come in , and this signed a young player McDonnell from Wigan, Whats he like .

really?



You seem to like coming on this board being all pally whilst constantly putting down Halifax. You're bound to put some noses out of joint with your approach. There's banter and there's insidiousness, gauge for yourself where you sit.

All I stated was I’m not impressed with your signings this season , nothing degrading about that , or offensive , just my opinion , the proof will be as the season unfolds obviously , I admit I love a bit of banter ,if you stated Leigh would be battling relegation this season , I’d love that , I respect everyone’s opinions in life .

Yes but you connected them with the loss on Sunday.

Fact is though Ian several of them weren't playing against Batley and those who were, were doing fine until that horrendous injury to BK.
In an earlier post I explained what impact that, along with two in the sin bin had on the rest of the match.
We lost him after just 3 minutes of him coming on with huge implications for the interchanges and were down to 11 men at one point for an overlapping 20 minutes playing uphill, our fault for the bin but nothing to do with your assessments on the signings.

After just one game in those circumstances how is there anything to gauge them on, hardly fair or even sensible to do so.

Sorry, but this time mate it's not a case of Charlie knows, more a case of Charlie has no idea what he's talking about.


Keep safe pal and stop talking out of your nal

Faxcar , as you know I always respect yer opinion ,I think I gave my opinion before the Batley game , sometimes things occur during a match to alter the score,ie injuries or substitutions , or a Refs decision , I was gauging my opinion of previous performances,and I don’t think I named any players , just stating I wasn’t impressed .
I did predict the resuly

Faxcar , I respect your opinions and views ,I don’t think I named any of your signings I wasn’t impressed with , and based my opinions on previous performances with other Clubs , and I did forecast the right result at Batley , nearLy had the correct score .
All my opinions aRe just that , my opinions , as I’ve stated anybody that berates Leigh , I welcome they are entitled to their opinion ,yeah I love a wind up ,after only one game the season is far to early to predict , for what it’s worth Fev will probably beat us on Monday , but if they don’t then we would be in the driving seat for the coming weeks , I can’t wait .
Staying safe for me is easy to say but hard to do these days , I do my best .

Irrespective if I live in Singapore or not. I've seen enough and know more about the NRL than most and I'm stating the obvious that any overseas import, unless paid grossly over market value, finds themselves in the championship for the simple reason they are not good enough for superleague. I appreciate your opinion but ad sideshow says, you tread very close to the opinion/ goading approach. You didn't like the way I questioned the quality of your cast offs , much the way I don't see fit in you agitating on this board.

https://twitter.com/halifaxpanthers/sta ... 71458?s=21 21 man squad named , be interesting to see who he picks out of them , with Aston being back I wonder who he picks in the halves and if jouffret or Aston drop back to fb , Martin was steady but was out of position for their 1st try of the 2nd half and was sin binned needlessly.

Liam Whitton gone back to Siddal? The Martin signing showed little confidence in him so can't really blame the lad.

Sorry your still talking out of your nal.

(Well predictions do usually come before the event otherwise there not predictions).

I don’t think I named any of your signings I wasn’t impressed with.
(Well you don't have to name them, it's obvious who they are when you don't rate any of them.)

Based my opinions on previous performances with other Clubs.
(Maybe Simon should be consulting you then.)
