I think we will beat Sheffield, Leigh? possibly, and if we do can we beat Fev?
I think we can.

On our day we can beat anyone but it would be a big ask to do 3 on the trot. Anythings possible though.

Yes a big ask, it's not just physical but mental as well.
The effort to keep getting yourself up for big games can catch up with you.
Even the best sides after having won a big game often come unstuck in the following match.
If any side can do it though Fax can and no side feels comfortable playing us.

I know we finished in 6th but realistically we are the one team that can trouble the top 2. I know we havnt got over Sheffield yet and may not even do so but Batley, Widnes, and Sheffield were/are never getting to the Grand Final.

Its going to take a huge effort, but we cleared the first hurdle, i think we will clear the 2nd as well.

We have the team we have proved that against both Leigh and Fev this season on there grounds.

now Leigh and Fev may have had great seasons. but 3 finals in 3 years, we know how to get the job done in big games most of the the time we find a way to win.

I have confidence that we can get to the Sports Village next thursday and if we turn up and play the way we can then we can beat them.

and we know we can beat Fev in the big games!!

Well at least they don't need a team talk in the Sheffield dressing room. Print this out and let thier players have s read. I'm sure one game at a time should be used in play off rugby.

I don't think there is anything in that post that would over excite the Sheffield players. It's a forum and the question is speculative.


Mark Aston, "aye up lads, no team talk today, just read Halifax's forum"
Players, " the bloody cheek, we'll kill em"

Well let's all just step back and you can just post, least that way no one can be wrong. No doubt.

one game at a time...............

I am probably one of the few Fev fans that wants you to get to the final. Because we owe you big time and are already filling those coaches up with flatcappers to cheer the lads on

COME ON FAX! ONE GAME AT A TIME....PICK EM OFF LIKE A SNIPER!

It's a massive ask. The RFL have made it virtually impossible.

To turn around four days and then beat a week's rested Leigh, away from home? Sheesh - that's a mighty task. Then to go on and beat the best team in this league who will be so fired up after we destroyed them last year?

It would truly be an amazing feat. If we do end up lifting that trophy again it will surpass the efforts of 1987. It may not be as glamorous - but it would surely surpass it.

Isn't Tubbs's teamtalk usually something like this:


Bomb Worrincey, knock Barlow's head off Mitch.........
