Fax v 'Toronto'. : Tue Mar 19, 2019 11:33 am  

My enthusiasm for this game took an almighty nosedive after last Sunday's shambles but ,hey-ho, life goes on. What do we expect from this game now? I really haven't got a clue. Up The Fax!

I predict a plucky effort in patches with the scoreline flattering us more then them at 12-38. Can't see us turning them over be too quick for us at the ruck and in the backs. Plus they have 2 halfbacks who take the line on and run for 80 minutes. Still go, just don't see us winning as we are at the moment.

Interesting to see what Marshall does to try and repair things-certainly can't afford a lack of defensive effort against these-which rules Ben White out.

I know QLT has some defence issues but he has what nobody else has, the ability to cause doubt in defences minds, make them stand off him, attract defenders. He should be playing end of. Madness to drop him. If Toronto click they will get 50, if not then in the 30's.

I predict also that town fans will moan about the pitch and some fax fans will get really angry again and use the C word every other sentence.

Well at the moment Fax are very unpredictable, I think it will be a very close game at first, with Fax holding Toronto 0-0 for a few minutes , I’m predicting a final score of Fax 12 v Toronto 38.Yes I think it will be that close.

Don't expect to concede more than 20 on that pitch.Scoring will be the problem.Good kicking game and who knows..

It’s forcast a fine pleasant week end weather wise.

Fax 25 Toronto 4.

Now with the penalty count against out of the way.

The result will be either a plucky effort from Fax who still lose or a Toronto blitz with Fax losing bigger without the pluckiness.

Ian we are the opposite & too predictable slow at H/B no Biff From the Front Rowers same moves in attack easy to defend against.
I think you are too kind at 38-12 Last Year we lost 20-6 i will be amazed if its that close based on our abysmal Displays so far

I’m not being kind Mick , just realistic, there’s not much between Fev , Fax , and ourselves at the moment, after our win on Sunday folk are saying we are a good side, but we aren’t,Rochdale are the weakest side in the Comp, followed by Swinton, yeah we have beaten them both , but take away our DRs and we are very frail.I would say the same about Fev.

Fax, seem to be going backwards since you beat us, 2 close wins at the Shay, a surprise win at Dews and now York, it will be difficult to get a win for you on Sunday.Im not sure what the solution for Fax is , but take away Toronto , and Toulouse and the Comp is so wide open.
