After the excitement of our (Leigh) win we didn’t feel calm enough to spend another 2 hours watching your game. What do you Fax fans think and how many supporters did stay behind to watch your match?
I can't speak for others but for me it really didn't matter when it were on as it was the only game that I went to see it was just a bonus that we got two new teams in the main event and it was also such a good game. I was disappointed with the production by the RFL though, video ref's for first 2 games and none for our "after thought". That was poor.
Back to the game I do think we still had those brain farts in our game(Louis & Obrien running it on the last and Woody kicking out on the full) but the difference today was how much fight we showed for each other and that helps you get past those mistakes. I think at times maybe we were a bit negative taking 2 but as it turned out it played out perfect and again I think we drop a goal over we avoid that late drama but as a group I thought we played superbly. Back 5 were fantastic doing the hard yards and Pickersgill I thought stood out and our pack fronted up to Batley who probably have the best pack in the league. I thought Kav really stood out and obviously Calcott was never coming off that field despite that nasty cut. Not many players get chance to play at Wembley so this group can be very proud of what they have achieved.
