Bad night tonight it was a performance from the first minute to the last nobody stood out apart from one break by Johnno and one from Ed Barber we were simply AWFUL. Oldham deserved to win yer they had a couple of lucky tries but they had a deep line running onto the ball and a good kicking game, Marshall sent out a weakened team with one eye on Saturday which I can understand but the first teamers out there were poor, it was probably Steve Tyrers worst ever game in a Fax shirt two bad knock ons with nobody near him ouch.
Poor crowd and sadly some of the young lads did not take their opportunity which makes me feel depressed as we all want to produce our own talent and have a production line from the Reserves but none of them stood out today.
One try all night sums it up as that was all we deserved we never looked like scoring again after the one try we did get and Oldham got two very soft tries when defence is normally our strong point.
No idea which Fax will turn up on Saturday but not confident either way of getting anywhere near Toulouse.

Myself included, I have sponsered players and contributed and that’s what we are doing now, however after a week like this week I ask myself is it working?
Is anyone happy when we can’t field a full strength side and get the result against Oldham because if we do we might not get the result against Toulouse, that’s the reality.

Does anyone know how much has been spent on the reserve side since it was formed, over what period of time and who we have on the playing front good enough for first team rugby as a result as of now?

We are banking on the reserve team investment producing first team standard players maybe years down the line from a comp that has a game whenever the clubs can arrange something between themselves which more and more are pulling out of, sound investment?

Iv’e had exactly the same problem with your posts Robin, with “dis” in front.

I was speaking to a relative of morgan punchard today and he said the reason he left was marshall.... he said he promised to give the lad a chance this season after the hard work he put in pre season and WASNT signing anutha half back. He said the constant lies got to him but would av loved to stay at the club but marshall asked to him to go to cas under 19s for game time..a team he turned down to join halifax because of marshalls persuasion

If I were Punchard I would feel exactly the same. He could have played him against Rochdale . And on numerous other occasions over the last year just stick him on for 20 mins and see how he went . To have someone go without trying him is just plain bad management because you don't know the answer because you never found out.
