Firstly apologies for my You're error when it should have read Your I also nod my approval regarding your knowledge of the One Hit Wonders.

Didn't your side commit more handling errors than Thunder ? You didn't need it,but wasn't your kicking game a bit suspect - albeit the officials gave you a 40/20 which was as dubious as the 'conversion' you were awarded in the first half.

I have no desire for Halifax to lose any match - apart from your visit to Gateshead.

I wish all Halifax fans another dozen victories and without any trace of sarcasm or bitterness hope your side improves before the business end of the season.

Well done and sincere best wishes.

nice one. fancy a pint at the crows nest?

It was no more dubious than the 'forward' pass that was in your final (i think) try, anyway it's swings and roundabouts. Well done for making the trip today and especially well done to the small number of Gateshead fans at the front of the southstand who made more noise than teams who bring plenty more fans and don't make any noise.

Thanks for that.
What was wrong with the try we scored in the first half when the touch judge dropped his flag ; the one in the left corner ?

On the subject of fans - Thunder fans would like it very much when you defeat Featherstone on Thursday.

a) Yes & we still scored over 70 points
b) it was a clear 40/20. The ball took a right hand tun when it was past the 20m flag. I was sat almost opposite it
c)it went over the top of the post, more in than out.
