Well played last night Halifax, you deserved the win just off the 1st half performance alone when Barrow had no answer at all. I thought Laughton was inconsistent to both teams, however he wasnt the one missing all the tackles and showing no passion in the 1st half so no complaints from me. It was a cracking game for the neutral !! I agree the crowd was $hite, but at least they all paid to get in ( no freebies at Barrow, unlike some clubs to boost the attendance! ). Good luck for the rest of the season.

A few of the lads were out last night and saying that this is the last season the majority of them will play together and that they are all really up for it and are going to try and make sure they go out with a GF win.

If true this is very sad news

That would be great. £100k to fund their replacements. I wonder if they'll fair any better under Basil next year? Let's see what Leigh can do with "Matt's cast offs".

Back on topic or say goodbye to this thread.

Well from my hotel bar in Magaluf I was very impressed.

The first half was just plain awesome, by far our best performance of the season. It was plainly obvious Barrow were going to come back at us in the second, the introduction of Carlile caused us problems. It is our defence which is worringly weak but it has still improved. A couple of months ago we would have lost that game, the players look to have that steel in their eyes as well as fantastic team spirit as the camera showe dthem running over to our fans.

We never seem to play completely on SKY, we play well but we do something to bitter the taste of the summarisors, hopefully against SKY RL oh sorry Widnes we can shove their doubts and bias down their throats.
