That narrow pitch thing is a myth. It's three metres narrower or, if you prefer, five feet on either wing. Yeah it makes a difference but, if you're picking a team specifically based on the pitch width, I'd suggest you're doomed to failure.

It's very difficult for clubs to sign Aussies or Kiwis these days given VISA restraints, and even more difficult to tempt them over here given that the game Down Under is cash rich at the moment. I'd say that signing a really top quality player from the Queensland Cup would be pretty impossible these days.

The trouble with accountants is everything transfers into numbers. I wonder how many accountants are RL coaches too ?

It's easy to say this now but I remember coming on here before the first match and most of you Fax fans were saying you had the best squad in the championship You thought your pack was the best with Tonks Barlow and Ambler to name a few you were also over the moon when Worrency extended his contract saying you got the best winger in the division now some fans come out with comments like that



This season yet again has been very close for the top 5 teams and IMO there is not much in any of them it's not too long ago you thought you could win the League We have been lucky to win the league 4 times on the trot and been to the last 3 GF ( hopefully 4) but it could easily of been any of a few clubs and I include Fax in that You lost yesterday to a club that IMO lost the league in the last 40 seconds a Fev so why think you are that bad with KH. The only worry I would have as a fax fan is your crowds your still a top championship side and will be next year with or without KH Keep the faith for 2014 but don't say things like.



Year of the Fax

We got the best team

And the one that made me laugh was a tweet from. Tyrer saying Fev are panic buying before Fax game in loaning Mariarno and signing Will Sharp If only he was as good as them

I think one of the main problems is the crowds and Karl's playing style are interlinked. I will always go to Fax games but I did find myself really questioning why I bother the other week when playing Batley, clueless boring rugby, I don't blame anyone who doesn't bother anymore.

To me, it's all about building momentum season after season which Fev and Sheffield have done and Fax haven't. If we could honestly say that each season we were even slightly better than the last then we would pick up new supporters, keep the ones we have and I would be happy. When we lack any form of consistency fans start to lose interest and when they've gone it's not easy to get them back.



Add to that the lack of P&R, the variation of match days and the shortage of cash in people's pockets and attendances suffer.



Having said that, to lose 500 (over 20%) off our average in one season I struggle to explain.

Accountants have a lot in common with coaches then.





Incredible amount of game stats produced these days.

The fans we still have left walk out of the ground after the game like Zombies, probably wondering why they have wasted more money watching mind numbing rugby.



5 years from now, there will be no memories of the 2 seasons under Harrison. It's been that dull.



On Thursday, I saw one offload the whole game, and that was in a Try Scoring position straight into the hands of a Sheffield player.

With all the *incredible amount of stats* produced these days, I would expect you to be able to at least guess at answering the question. In my experience, I never met an accountant who coached RL.



Have you ever tried your hand at journalism or politics ? You've got the waffle....

An accountant is in the running for NRL coach of the year this season

Any offers on 1 ?

My major gripe about Thursdays game and probably a few others as well is this . For the first twenty minutes we ran hard , tackled well and played sensible rugby . From then on it went downhill especially in the second half . I didn't notice when it started but for at least the last 25 mins apart from virtually our last set of six , every set we had it was one man rugby . We didn't string together two passes or more. Yes Sheffield made it difficult but Fax didn't even attempt to pass the ball. I don't think the wingers received the ball going forward at all. From a fax point of view it was mind numbingly boring , pedestrian and predictable . Yes the players put great effort in but surely when chasing a game you need plan B. we just didn't have one . If they had tried to put width on the game I wouldn't have been so discouraged but you can see why people aren't turning up to watch games . Couple of my work colleagues just don't like the style of play we are producing and have stopped coming to games . All credit to Sheffield as well . The half backs controlled things with Brambani having a brilliant game especially with his kicking and at least they played some rugby. They have got real pace in their back three and it showed at times. I fear that if we don't change our style inc moving Murrell to loose forward and bringing in a new hooker and at least two half backs with pace then it's going to be same old same old..
