Well well well.

Absolutely appauling today, players looked tired and with no passion or commitment. We were out played by a well coached team who simply wanted it more.

Ben Black is clearly injured, so why are we playing him? His, and other player's confidence is low, but we have no 2nd or U21s team for him, or anyone to get dropped into to get that confidence back. Calland said today we had 17 fit players to pick from, well where is this youth that we are bringing through?? Oh yeah sorry, we signed 2 PNG kids didn't we.

Today was a big day for the club, the stand looks brilliant and the band were really good (highlight of the day for me!). Leigh brought a good following over, and it was a good crowd. Again, we have lined ourselves up and shot ourselves in the foot. It's a shame that the players in blue and white wanted to play hot potato rather than rugby league. Nobody took responisbility for driving the ball in and we kept going left to right across the field rather than going forward.

People can blast Penky, but I thought he had an alright game today. Yes the sin binning was stupid, but at least it showed that he actually has some fire in his belly which is more than can be said for other players.

Watene today was awful, I don't think we should have resigned him from last year, I'm sure there are other people who could do the development work in schools.

On the subject of Calland, I'm not usually someone who will have a go at coaches and say it's about time they should go. However, 2 awful performances, and a team of players who look as though they don't know what they are doing. He picked the best hooker in the league at half-back and put Beswick at hooker??!! Clueless. Also 2 and a half hours before kick off last week, instead of being with his players, Calland thinks its more important to go on a dog walk.

Rumours of course, flying around saying players out on the pop the night before the game, players falling out, players asking to be released from contracts. If they are true - then let them go.

I have watched Halifax through the bad times, and the even worse times. We will never stop watching them. Fans don't get annoyed at losing, fans get annoyed when the players are not playing for them, which is the case at the momment.

At the end of the day, the players, coaching staff and BOD are accountable to us, the fans. Get it sorted.

I doubt if Leigh train 5 times a week on the 3g's, they may train 5 times including gym/swimming sessions, they definitely train there on Wednesday evening and Saturday morning, don't know about any other times, that's just the times I've seen them, but the 3g's are heavily booked in the Evenings, as well as Leigh Centurions, Leigh East (U7's - 3 open age teams plus girls), Genesis (not sure how many teams), 5-a-side league's (mon & fri), all wanting to use it, it's also been used by Wire, Saints, Pies, latic's but that's during the day.

No doubt with the weather improving and the light nights they'll be moving from the 3g to grass, hopefully we'll see some improvement then.

Maybe cos I don't know for sure and am asking?
As far as I know the lads train Tuesdays and Thursday plus Saturday mornings but as they train out of town I cannot be certain, I aint a player or coach at the club so asking.
Anybody please?

Well, they haven't trained for two of the last three thursdays have they, let's think about it....

Talking to a few folk at the coal face is that the quality and structure of the training is the best they have ever experienced, and I am talking SL players here. The players love it and feel they are getting better every session. Its varied, unique and everything is talked through. Thats what Basil is best at, he struggles with politics and doesnt suffer fools - thats what gets him in trouble, Alex Murphy of the present??
