Enthusiasm,commitment,pride in the jersey,working for each other,will to win
Barrow showed it all from the off tonight. We lost because we didn't.

If Matt can't get this from our players for a match as important as tonight then I must think something is seriously wrong. I'm not totally blaming the coach as it is ultimately the players that take the field. One thing is clear something needs to change.

Whoever told Penky he is a ball handler needs shooting. We've got the best hooker in the league and he thinks he's Wally Lewis!

Andy Ellis was hooker in the team of the year mate, fact.

We were out-enthused on the night.

That suggests you feel it is purely down to the fact that Barrow merely had more enthusiasm. When in fact they had more ideas, pride, passion, defensive ability, go forward, composure . . . . . . . do I need to go on?

I have no coaching qualifications but represented my county and country playing the game.

Stop banging on about the best season we have had u muppet . We all know that . What people on here are on about is the coach not having a clue what to do when plan a doesn't work . No pride in the shirt they wear and no fight in there bell and playing like it's the first time they have met each other . I don't mind losing it's the way we lost tonight . We was clueless . Calland out by a country mile

That's all I wrote, I didn't insinuate anything else did I ?

Hugh Waddell played for Great Britain in a win against the Aussies, so what, he was garbage.

If you fancy doing a bit of coaching, I can point you in the right direction, oh, and you'd have to be CRB checked, oh and you'd actually have to pass the exams to gain the qualifications, just like every one of our coaches at Halifax have had to do, stop being silly, we got beat cheer up.

Thanks for emphasising my point Rafa. How is Penky going to win it whilst he's dropping balls at stand off?

It's a fine line between getting it spot on as you were doing early on and making too many mistakes as you seem to be doing at the moment

For short spells you are brilliant in attack , but you have never sorted your defence , if you outscore them , you win , if you dont , you lose

Life is like a box of ch........

I wouldn't know ? You're asking me and you know it all.....


Perhaps Calland coaches him to drop the ball


What do you reckon ?

No I don't fancy doing any coaching but thanks for the offer. With 2 kids and a 3rd overdue (hence why not at the game) I have no time to give as my job is also time consuming. I dont EVER mind losing but the manner in which we lost is very poor. Anyone can see that except you?? - For someone who coaches the game I find that bemusing

I haven't coached since last june when my badge expired, but you knew that already I suspect........


I also have three kids, so that makes me as good as you I suppose, and my job is verrrrry time consuming and I've a pile of ironing that I put off to watch the rugby on telly tonight, nevermind, the ironing will still be there tomorrow and Halifax will still have a chance of reaching and winning the GF



And for the record, I HATE losing, whichever way it comes, but we live to fight another day, I also don't understand how folk can get so off colour with their team.

I don't know it all but I don't blindly accept everything the coach does is correct because he's the coach. Its called having a mind of my own.


Calland picks him at stand off and in my opinion he's not up to it.
But what I will say is that I wish everybody else showed the enthusiasm he does I can't knock him for effort.
