| Sam is Sam, what you see is what you get.
I was very sorry to see him go, a very good player who will do well for you.
With respect he does sometimes cause a little trouble within the club, and I hope for once he can settle down.
He is a very nice bloke of the pitch.
When he left us for Fev he was very silly on twitter, or is it twa2ter, or is it facebook, I don't know one from the other (like Charlie Carolli) and that left a bitter taste in a number of Fax fans.
I spoke to him the other day in Asda, yes, superstars do shop in Asda, (I mean halifaxjohn not Sam) and he had nothing but good words about Fax.
Good luck to Sam and Leigh.
p's go back a few pages on this thread and you will see my mate Charlie name dropping again, he doesn't mean sat at the table he means serving the table.
Good luck Leigh

I don't think that they would have scored Bart. Tom Armstrong and AJ were well on their way across. I'm still buzzing thinking about todays performance. That is the first time they have started to show what they are capable of. It all clicked. The mouth watering part of it all is, they are going to get better than that.

| Sam was MOM for me in the first 40 mins, 4 offloads 4 tries, nice to see an aggressive forward with a step and an offload. First sign of Shithousing Hindsford Leyther was with Whitehaven, Sam was awesome today, best game yet.

| Whitehaven did a lot of it too. He more than held his own. With his actual rugby I agree he was very good.

| Barlow did nothing wrong, Whitehaven just wanted to fight knowing they'd been outplayed in every department, Barlow was awesome, and Higson was awesome again!

When he sticks to playing rugby he is one of our best players. Just wish he would play the game. If he needs to get stuck in fine, but otherwise cut it out.'"
Admittedly my eyes may have been a little tired as I was still in Gibraltar at 11am this morning only arriving at LSV with minutes to spare but I thought Sam Barlow was outstanding yet again. He is the player we have been missing in our pack since the day Streety retired. We made a lot of valuable metres on the back of his off loads and drives. He also worked tirelessly in defence all afternoon.
The guy at the side of me was referring to his reputation preceding him so when the hooter went I made it my business to watch him closely and quite frankly you are talking utter and complete tosh.
He walked back on to the field, patted the referee on his back, spoke to a few opposition players like the rest of our team did, shaked everyone's hand ( even Haven's number 30) then joined the rest of our team in the huddle.
What did you see that was untoward after the match?

| That incident was after the Batley match. Instead of shaking hands with the opposition he grabbed one by the throat and gave him an earbashing jabbing his finger in his face for about 30 seconds.

| If people think barlows a naughty bugger rent some DVDs off Fred of a young Timmy in the 80's.
Every winning team has a Sam, without him we would be a miles weaker team!!

Don't disagree, just don't like the other side of his game. If he stopped the stupidity he would be even better.

You might change your mind by then
My six on todays performance would be ....
AJ, Armstrong, Kes, Kay, Barlow and Spencer.... plus is Farrell at the Pies any better than Tommy Goulden?

| Putting my original post to one side, I thought that individually and collectively we where excellent today. Attack and defence was excellent, our kicking was brilliant - even more so considering our main kicker got injured. With better weather and some of the marginal calls/decisions going our way, reckon we may see a new club record for largest victory at some point.

There was a stupid person playing your correct, Lee Doran is his name ! what a B@@d@y nuisance he is! every tackle he's niggling the bloke's a penalty machine! I personally only saw barlow transgress once and, that was the incident he was sin binned for! I have been very impressed and pleased by his performances and, his teamates are not bad either

| I though running in to punch a man on the floor was idiotic of him and deservedly got him sin binned, hope Rowley will have words and make sure that doesn't happen again. Other than that thought he had a great game, Whitehaven came to rough it up and once they were out of the game just stepped that up and Barlow and the rest of the team responded in kind without over stepping the line (apart from Barlow's sin binning).

| I would still prefer us to play with 13 players on the field. He has to learn to do what Timmy did in his later years and that was to laugh at those trying to wind him up. He will be targeted especially by the better sides.

| According to Dave's report in the LE, two unspecified Leigh players have been put on report for alleged late contacts on Southernwood and Taylor.

| Think it is Spencer and Barlow.
Spencer will have nothing to worry about imo but re Sam I will decide when I watch the incident again when Fred puts the full game on Centurion TV.

| The more I see of Sam the more impressed I am.
OK I can see that if he develops a bad boy reputation that precedes him (like Timmy did) then he may have to be a bit careful, but he has a long way to go to do that and I don't agree with the comments about him overstepping the mark on a regular basis. I think all he's done so far is play hard and be up for the challenge physically. He's a tough lad and one I want in my pack every week. As has been mentioned before we have a pack now that can really dominate. For me its the best we've had since the one Benson assembled - big difference is this time they have the discipline to go along with the aggression.
And finally, the sinbinning I thought was harsh - I need to re-watch on LCTV but I thought Barlows "offence" was just a swinging arm into the mid-section of the player on his way down. Not cheap or dirty, and something you see in a lot of games. But it was at a point in the game where Haven were wanting to bring the game down to their level, kicking off after every tackle, and the ref (who'd lost control of the game 20 mins earlier) took the bait and binned him. For me the retaliation was as bad as or worse than the tackle itself, and it was either a double-binning for the fight or nothing (maybe simple pen to Haven at a push if the player was down and you see it as a flop)
