A great performance yesterday by all however Leigh lacked invention going forward today (probably due to Moran's absence). How can we contain Fax's expansive game and come away from The Shay with a win?

1st thing is we have to keep the penalty count down. We did OK yesteray but still gave some needless pens away.

At the end of the day we battered Leigh in the forwards and we need to do the same with the Fax pack. We have pace to burn in the backs but its our big pack thats doing the damage. You would struggle to find a better quartet than Fats, Jacko, Ryan and Carl at the mo. Then add to that Howard, Spence, Makisi and even Gorski that is some size that would take alot of putting down at any level.

Im not saying were definatly going to win but if we do, how are the players gonna get 2 celtic(if they lose) with work issues and we cant afford to pay for an overnight stay. Lets hope salford get beat and we win, its possible. ;D

I believe they are asking Haven to play either Fri or Sat to enable which ever team wins EXTRA RECOVERY, because the winner will have to play on the Thurs Night.

So if we choose to play Sat, although we have One Less Day Recovery, we will GAIN if we win.

Tough choice i think

We can win, need to make sure of one on one tackles and improve on the penalty count.
Then there is the not small matter keeping a certain Mr Holroyd quiet!!!
But we can and WILL win. Hope its sunday & like a Leigh lad said on here, Salford get beat, cos I fancy a trip to Wales
like a hole in the head!!
Fax 1st, Salford 2nd, then the Crooksaders at the Halliwell Jones!

What a finish to the season that would be.
Beating Fax & the two Super League new boys

come on Haven we can do it!!!!!!!!!!!

Gonna be hard for you guys to win at Fax (hope you do cos the Fax fans are getting a bit big headed IMO), but to be honest I think it will be a game to far for you guys at the weekend I`m afraid.

Go for Fax 36 Haven 14.

 (Sorry) :'(

Just think after watching them last Thursday - they will be far too strong for you.
