Thats what Whitehaven are.
I keep saying it, they are just like a rash that you cannot get a cure for (not that I have one I must add).
I am okay losing to a team that play better rugby than your own team but its always the same with Whitehaven, they just stick to you like a leech and suck the life out of you, I honestly hate their guts, and thats not something I say lightly.
Yer its sour grapes cos we lost again to them but are they better than us?
No - but they certainly know how to beat us, just get in your faces and we cannot seem to hack it, why???
They certainly have the demon sign over us, like that flukey try at the kick off in the second half, how many times does a ball bounce back so far in a game?
Never, it was like it was meant to be cos its halifax playing Whitehaven, we never seem to play well against them. We were poor today for 65 minutes.

One day we will smash them and that day cannot come soon enough.
We just need to find that ointment, it will be our turn one day.

Go back in your hole please Whitehaven you are not welcome.

Mr Irritated by them Marras.

Hope it was the 'haven curse and not deep rot.
Thursday at Don Valley hopefully will show this to be the case.

Thursday is time for the players to stand up and be counted, especially our big names who are not playing well like Penky and Blacky.
Plus Saaed needs to improve his defence, he cannot just do the hard hitting runs he also has to tackle, that missed tackle by him and Maloney on half time was terrible the guy just ran through both of them right under the sticks.

I think the problem is we are just a better team.

But to be honest out of all the GF contenders you lot are the team we'd like to avoid the most.

You are a plague.

Barrow to finish top now

If it's not broke don't fix it, Fax can't handle the way Haven play, so why should they change their tactics because the eater of the sourest grapes wants 'pretty rugby'.




That would seem that they are better than us, they know how to beat us!




Haley's chip over and chase try had a bit of luck about it, we should have reacted to the kick sooner.



We beat them at the Rec because we wanted it at the time, the players didn't look like that until the game was lost today. Plus we will beat Haven and other teams when we learn to deal with teams who play simple, yet effective Rugby League.

Wow im going to agree with Haighy about the "flukey" kick off. If the players whos heads the ball went over had done their job then Haven wouldnt have had the ball back. They reacted far too late and we got what we deserved.

Dosnt matter that its Haven yesterday it could have been any team probably apart from Donny and they would have beat us. We are just far too soft.

I also agree with Haighy.

Also can you say they are not better than us when they beat us most times they play us? That would suggest they are.

Reckon we would have to lose at least three of our last seven not to finish top now

Ladies & Gents I give you........HALIFAX RLFC. Champions elect

I know that a lot of what you are saying is right but I would ask would you want to watch that lot every week?
No.

Like you say we have to learn how to keep it simple at times when the game needs winning, then when its won do the flash stuff.
But thats the problem we all like the team playing the way it has been these last two seasons, i do not want to watch a Whitehaven style team tbh.
We just need to defend and keep it tight until we get the upper hand on the opposition, thats something where a good stand off comes in, they get you behind the opposition, teams like Whitehaven like to get in your faces, so put the ball behind them, then they are playing in their half not ours.
Thats the missing link this season - a stand off said it hundreds of times.

Yes, because unlike Fax at this moment in time, they look like a unit, play with nounce and know how to build pressure.

For the first hour Halifax looked like 13 individuals that had never played together before let alone the 'beastings' Calland claimed they had at 'training' this week.

If Fax click then we will be the team to beat....but to be honest we have a lot of improving to do

Dear dear me. Fact we bossed the game for 60 mins and you cant deny that. Fax were not allowed to play their game because we had a game plan to beat them. Hats off for the comeback not many team would have been able to do that at any level so credit where it is due BOTH ways. Shame about the idiots that wanted to get to the Haven players after the game. Very ugly and not what we need in this game.
Good luck for the rest of the season.

Haven deserved the win on sunday, any other result would have been daylight robbery. I for one would have been pretty upset if we'd have won as it would have papered over the cracks. Fax clearly have the talent they just need to get out of this funk. Haven are always good at this time of year and should always be respected whenever they are played, just like any other team.
