Agree Thackeray was their best player. Do you think Websters hearts in it? If he's travelling over form Hull everyday it can't be easy.

If you can't be ar'ed going why don't you save your comments for an audience that's interested in hearing them

Not sure how much Webster likes it at Widnes... The fact he hasn't moved over there says a lot, however his Wife (who worked for Hull KR, may still do) recently had a baby and probably doesnt fancy relocating.

No Doubt i'll now get told by VikingMan how much Webster loves it there...

And who the **** are you?

thoughts on tonights game

fantastic result



Silverwood, gave soooooo many penalty's against us, the 25m restart, coz he was not ready! ok its in the rules, but then he let widnes do it in the dying seconds! very poor!



what was the penalty count? were we really that bad!

a pleasure to watch the game tonight, well done all plyers coaches and fans concerned

Widens looked far better drilled in the tackle, nearly ever time they tunred fax palayers on their backs, slowed us down a lot, we harley ever managed to do this! the dif in full time training me thinks

How good is our defence1 awsome thats how good

How good is our will and disire, tip top thats how good

and how good were the fax fans tonight - tremendous...

A good game, yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

You had a drink mate?

I've never heard a Dull's fan shout for Fax as much as I did tonight. He seemed to be enjoying himself even though he lost his bet.

You're welcome back, might be in the North Stand next visit though, eh?

thought Widnes again looked to have no idea in attack. Constantly turned the ball inside (the Dean Lawford move!) & a high kick to the corner were about the only threat they had. CAant remember them putrting the ball through their hands once (but I'll accept their breakaway try was good)

Duffy aint a 13, looks like they are trying to fit 3 half backs into 2 positions.

Whoever he is, he's been to a few games

Disagree bout the tackling. thought we dominated the rucks about 80% of the time in both attack & defence. Didnt mind them slowing the play the balls down near the end of the game as they were killing their own time.

As for being full time, was just saying to pals tonight imagine if our players were full time, doubt would affect their style of play much, just would benefit from recovery etc. We would be unstopable! God knows what Cullen coaches them with them being full time, certainly isnt any rugby!

I LOVE Halifax me!

Duffy might not be a 13 but he's possibly been their best player over the 2 games, Thackeray was good tonight.

I thought Gaskell was their biggest yard gainer tonight.

Guessing its a guy called Mick Gledhill

Could be, though I always pictured him as someone a bit older than the lad who was near us.

nervous as last 10 mins but the team spirit at the club atm is top drawer, well done the lads GET IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have to say well done. We are getting closer though, and I expect it will be even closer the next time we meet.

Halifax just have that little extra over Widnes that wins games, particularly in defence. We were beaten in the ruck again, which is a sign that we just don't have the weight and experience in the pack.

A few decisions went against us imo, but Halifax have beaten us twice now therefore I cannot use it as an excuse.


I look forward to your visit to the Stobart.

Tonight was a top night. A proper rugby match with atmosphere, drama, nail biting moments and some shocking inconsistent reffing as always. Widnes contributed to the whole event, and had a great following - Fair play to the plastics. Best night match since 2001 v Leeds.

I thought they overan us tonight up the middle which is no surprise considering we were pretty much playing with two props in Neil and Jesus, with Dana International contributing a 6 minute spell, and Frank again was incospicuous in his presence. Mammoth effort by super star.

Again, I thought widnes were poor with the ball in hand - again we gave them a lot of possession with which they did very little. Webster just isnt the same player now.

I love HXRLFC even more at the moment

I've got to agree. It would have been a pretty boring night if they hadn't turned up.

I disagree with your disagreement. 95% of the tackles made by Widnes put our player on their back, giving them time to get back into the line, and the remaining tackles saw them trying to wrestle our player over to their backs.

When we tackled, the widnes players immediately dived onto their fronts and up as quick as possible.

That said our defence was superior.

I thought Silverwood was showing a complete Cheshire bias. The re-starts were a shambles. When he let Widnes take the quick re-start towards the end of the game he was nowhere near the play, but still allowed it.

You right, in the second half Halifax didnt take one re-start in the correct spot, it's suppose to be in the middle of the field! Didn't whinge about that did you!?

It was a fantastic game, and I think our ruck play was alot quicker in the second half, but as Cullen has said, we were one play short and let you off the hook alot. It could have been a different story if the breakaway try and the Wildbore's behind the sticks had been given, so don't go counting your chickens just yet. We were alot closer last night than 2 weeks ago, but I must say Fax's defence has been absolutely superb in both games.
