We have been there since the turn of the century. Winning by large margins playing good stuff lucky cup draws and then it all goes t*ts up and then you are back to where you where ie the same place.

It didn,t happen to the biggest club in the world however HKR but no team can compete with them.

Leigh will get better the longer the season goes on but it,s going to be the latter end of the season imo.

Fax are the team to beat this season though.

That has been a long time coming!!

I think it is going to be a great tussle between Fax and Leigh.

If Fax are allowed to play they will rip anyone apart, get in their faces and mix it up and who knows we may only lose by 30.

Halifax are developing steadily? what planet are you on? Developing means bringing young players through not signing every available player no matter how much they cost!

have a look at our squad mate and fax are hardly in a position to bust the bank, don't you think? We're, at last, a well run club and maybe instead of shooting us down, other clubs should be looking at what we do and learning from it!

I disagree Fax have been in the same position as Leigh many times I'm not having a go at your club far from it, what I'm saying is that This season Fax have spent a lot of money they must have to get results on the field the same as Widnes have, The Fans are very happy to see quality on the field and winning every week that's a fact BUT what happens IF you lose in the semi final and don't make the GF? Next season do you start again paying crap money and get poor players?

Swinton my opinion are the best example of this when they played at Bury they had one season where they destroyed us but tailed off toward the end and as a result the next season hardly won a game and had financial trouble! Most clubs have done it and will continue.

At Leigh we have some very talented youngsters but as a result will lose quite a few games but the effort is most definitely there, The Fans aren't happy as we aren't wining every week! Chicken and Egg!

The challenge you face is igniting the interest of the town, 2184 last night to watch the best team in the comp. That wont pay the waged.

16 year old Andy Bowman played last night as did 19 year old Anthony Bowman both Halifax lads as is james Haley. Haley, Greenwood, Cherryholme all of whom played last night are under 23. And Fax have not payed for a player for years. They did sell Gorski last year though.

Your post smacks of somebody who is jealous. Not sure why as you have a good stadium and you will likely be in the Championship for a few years still just like Fax. Fax have concentrated on building up the scholarship and run this year with no reserve team-saving something like 50-60,000 pounds atleast. Whether that could be a good or a bad thing we wait and see. Fax have a problem that the best youngsters in the area are being signed by Huddersfield, Bradford and even Salford on good money. Fax are not in a position to offer that type of money sadly. I guess Leigh are in this position too.
