I agree the excitement on the terraces has gone, the crowd is dwindling! We have gone ten years back, this team could not come close to drawing with Castleford and to me that's our benchmark, but under Harrison I can honestly say Halifax are as dull as dish water to watch and it hurts me to say it!!! For all Callands faults at least it was exciting and unpredictable. Lets see how we get on against Batley!!

My thoughts exactly. 4 wins out of 4 in poor conditions is brilliant, the conditions are exactly the same for the opposition.

Although Callands Halifax sides was always very exciting, they was also very unpredictable.

Boring rugby, but still unbeaten... no one can knock that.

Whilst winning 4 from 4 is great the other side is that we need to bring in the crowds, winning with nobody watching is not going to make the club sustainable so win all our games but go bust due to financial issues. Crowds have dropped from around 2,300 to under 2000, hopefully better weather will make a difference.

Heres my two penneth, we are 4 from 4, im happy with that, yes its not the most exciting rugby but so far its getting results, well wins, I wouldnt say ive left a game this season impressed yet. Last season we struggled against all the top teams. I think after winning the final we didnt beat a top 4 team all season, not sure if this is correct but think it is.

So I'll see how we go against top opposition before making a judgement. If our style works against the top teams and we compete then im happy to grind out wins the way we are. If our style only gets results against teams ( no offence) who wont be around the top 4/5 but isnt getting us wins or close in the so called big games then yea I can see a problem. I'll put up with this style of rugby if it makes us competitive against teams in the race for cups etc.

If its like last season and with the exception of the final we dont get wins from top teams then our style of play might affect the crowds. Lets be honest so far we've ground out wins. Thursday will tell us a lot more I suspect and give us a clue as to where we are at.

Batley on Thursday will be a much higher intensity effort.

The coaching staff of both clubs will know it's an important fixture that could really kick them on.

The players from both clubs will know it's going to be a tough game and should be ready for it mentally.

I predict a massive encounter where anything could happen.

Light the blue touch paper comes to mind.

Who will come out on top after the collision????

Can't wait allready, I don't think this one will be boring.

We didn't come out of the big scrap at their place too shabby last season i don't think. We let them get the win when we'd made a winning position for ourselves. This doggies lot need turning over.
