Defence was shocking at times, we have upgraded with Salty, Sharp and Potts. Could be the best winger combination in the league next year.

Personally I rate Tommy and whilst he had lost a wingers pace he did add something different to our back 3 coming out of defence. Not the best under the high ball as Gareth Moore sussed at the Shay! Young mans game and if he has gone then our replacements have pace to finish if we find centres that can draw a man and pass! He has been a gud 'un throughout his career.

If and when Sam Smeaton arrives he is a real wingers centre imho, everyone who plays on the outside of him usually scores plenty.

Unlike Ben Heaton, who is a touch judges centre!



Cue the ball boy climbing over The Skircoat Wall for the ball.

Here we go , here we go another loyal fan knocking the team, Ben Heaton had a great end to the season yet you take pot shots at him have a word with yourself Mr Vickers you will be calling for Alex Brown to return next,along with Littlerich what's up with some of you RM has worked wonders on a shoestring yet some criticise his choices,put Smeaton inside a decent winger and it would be lethal, apparently Fax are 40-1 to win the League ,I might have a few shekels on that.

Mr Bates all Mr Saxton did was a filling in job , rugby is a young man's game and Mr Saxton is not a young man let him go back to Fev and find his neesh in life ,thank you Thomas you did your bit,but as Halifaxjohn says most won't lose sleep over your departure.

always gave his best in a fax shirt did Saxton, hard to tackle and filled a gap in the squad but RM will bring in his own players and I wish Tommy all the best

Are you agreeing or arguing with me ?



I do believe that we both think we have better for next season so a bit confused, unless my initial statement lead to some confusion.

Tommy proved a real handful in his first stint.

Not quite so last year.

He tried his best but blighted by various injury problems, the knock on effect on fitness levels and old father time slowly catching up showed as he will be the first to admit.

Mr Jagger, I love reading your views on Fax,they are amusing, Smeaton is a decent centre that's about it, Moore was in Ridyard's back pocket throughout the Grand Final last year,Ridyard kept him in a glass bottle on his fireplace

probably the same with Sharpe in the same game ,Liam Kay owned him,I fear nowt from Fax next season,well unless you include the contents of Bentleymans shopping bag or paying Halifaxjohn chip bill

.Happy days.

Bore off charlie you proved again you know FA with your one eyed predictions in Super 8's.

God loves a trier Charlie. No doubt about the class the Leigh side had and will have next season but let's see how the season unfolds before we all get bullish about who will be a threat and who won't be.The League table never lies!
