Don't understand some of this quote......didn't we score two tries and one conversion in the second half and Batley score one try plus a conversion, two penalties and a drop goal?

you should of kept hold of Black he's a better player than Handforth

Probably better comparing Black to Thackery and Jones to Handforth. Thackery is almost a younger version of Black and Jones isnt a patch on Handforth.

I have a feeling Mr Handforth may have afew of you guys eating your words when the season gets to the business end. i certainly hope so.

Rhino didnt sign him because he was crap did he?! and is this not the same Paul Handforth who took us apart many times in the past on his own?

For thoses of you who went to Swinton Tiger went off with a head wound that required stitches after about 8 mins, then to come back on and were 12 nil down!

he didnt have a stormer but he created Bowmans try on his own which in the end up proved massive in regards to the result of the match, if we hadnt of scored there i think we would have lost!

give him a break and get behind him! jeeeeeez.

we won and are top remember - some people never happy.

Superb post, actually I think it's a stupid, harsh topic. Lets look at the origional post.

"I haven't seen a worse display from a Halifax half back for many a year. What does he bring to the team? Everybody claims he is the onfield general organising everything; today we had absolutely no organisation! We cannot have a halfback who is scared of taking the line on. I feel for Thackery as he tries and tries but every other play has to go through Handforth and it is always slow and the defence can see it coming a mile away!"

"Haven't seen a worse display from a Halifax half back?"
Not been watching many years then.
Lets get behind our players, if a player has a bad game, encourage. I am sure Karl will take that player aside and tell him where he went wrong and what he expects in improvement. I hardly think he will sit him down and call him a crap player because of (in the origional posters mind) he had a bad game.

Just like Karl will, lets judge our players at the end of the season after we have won the Northern Rail Cup, The League and the Championship.

I hope so mate, like I said he is trying too hard and dropping off the game plan, we need his kicking game to start working and yes he will come good, he did look good at hooker though!
