I feel a tad humble at reading the posts on here, more so the thread starter Malfax, and I feel slightly embarrassed about my own moaning.
I think the crux of it, for me anyway, is that we started the season on fire with some of the most entertaining rugby played by Halifax for over 10 years, and as such I really did think we were an outstanding team, far better than our NL1 rivals. So when the wheels "seemingly" started falling off I found it hard to take, especially after being so confident of reaching the NRC Final - I was planning the weekend trip to Blackpool well in advance, and to lose against Widnes was gutting.
But in reality, even though we have of course some very good players, we are NOT so much better than our rivals. Infact there are some very good players in our league who DON'T play for Fax, and it's a bluddy tough league, especially at this stage of the season. To moan at losing at Sheffield is .... well ... it's totally ridiculous.
And let's face it, if the lads didn't try then we'd lose matches 60 nil.
So .... I for one will no longer moan and groan, and I will continue to shout for the lads in the matches to come.
And I have also just stuck £100 at 13/8 for Fax to win the GF, to demonstrate my faith. Up the Fax!
