For any other fax fans with half a brain, we are capable of playing an exciting brand of attacking rugby, unfortunately we have gone back to boring one man slow drives this may be by total coincidence that it is since cullen took charge. This is what we are trying to get at.

back on topic, i think that it will be a close game with us winning by 10

I think, with all due respect to both teams, I'd be very disappointed if we don't come away with victories. Questions would have to be asked, given the squad we have, if they lose to either of those two at the moment.

I do agree that Leigh are always tricky and lift their game against us, due to the derby like atmosphere the game generates, but they do lack quality in many positions. If the lad's keep their heads, and I mean that quite literally, we should beat Leigh comfortably on Friday by 18 or 20 points.

It was quite obvious at the time how bad Toulouse were. I couldnt believe all the hype that Widnes were getting after beating them so easily. I truly believe Fax would have been around the 100 mark that night if they had played Toulouse.

you scraped home twice against us at home.Now your saying your a team that are 30 points better than us.

Get up from out of your own booty. To put 70 on a side like Toulouse and nil then is no easy task. In any case that's not what I'm referring to. We put in a highly skilled performance on that night. We looked well organised and well drilled. We've appeared lost at times since then.

You're talking rubbish if you thought you could have put 100 on them, just another excuse to jerk off over your own team eh?

You only beat a mediocre amateur side by 64 points.

Just been reading the predictions for the forthcoming Widnes v Leigh match. It is very interesting to read that several Widnes and Leigh fans are predicting 10,20,30 and even 40 point victories for Widnes. I am in the position of having seen you both play a few times this season and there is very little between you, on current form. As I said on the Leigh forum, I am struggling to find the evidence which says Widnes are much better than Leigh. If I am not mistaken, you are both out of the cup, you both have exactly the same points in the league, Widnes have played fourteen games in total this season and have lost eight of them and I think Leigh have seven wins from thirteen fixtures. I might be wrong, but based on facts and not hype and bull, that seems to suggest you are similar. Leigh have lost narrowly at home to Batley and Widnes in similar fashion to Oldham. You have both struggled to beat Sheffield Eagles, but having seen both games, Leigh did perform slightly better than you, despite winning by a narrower margin. Of course, all this counts for nothing on Friday. The fact that Leigh beat you in three out of four meetings last year, also counts for nothing, but so do so called name players. Of course we all know games are won on the pitch and not on paper. The fact that you are at home and will have the ref and crowd with you, are more likely to be the determining factors in you winning. Believe me, having seen you both play, Leigh certainly do not have to raise their game or raise the bar to compete with you. Home advantage should be key and likewise for Leigh when you go to their place.
