you may have a point,

but i wonder how many more weeks this explanation/excuse will be remarked upon

Third....

Only for the time being. We could be fifth by the end of Sunday.

We shouldn't be critical about the coach....
We shouldnt be critical about the players...

Who the chuff can we be critical about. There is definately something wrong at the club.

This is the same team, the same coach that was playing stunning rugby,and beating all commers for the first half of the season.


I am 100% behind the team and still hopeful that we can turn it around against leigh and Toulouse at home , but by heck it gets tougher week on week.

It was Calland who told everyone we were world beaters he said there wasn`t another team in this division could get anywhere near us.Then he was right it`s not the same now, I would say we could be beaten by anybody.Wish we could turn it round somehow .

When we were playing messmerising rugby everything was sticking and all the players were playing with 3 legs. Batley, Sheffield and Whitehaven aren't carp ... if it doesn't stick we'll strugglle ... we ain't got a team full of full time Jamie Peacocks who SHOULD win at this level.

Anyway .. I've done my fair share of debate tonight ... maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong .. but I'm off, seeya'll

yes i do remember them days and good ones they were . but we are not talking about being dragged down TO THIRD but we could be further down the table come sunday night

this seasons gone to pot lets at least give him chance to prove he can get things right next season with more experience.

Look at the stats for heavens sake, were poor, who's fault is it?
I don't think its Batleys, or any other team, its HRLFC. Who prepares the team, who picks and signed the team, who is supposed to get them ready?
Smell the coffee please....

f you pal whats changing everything completely going to do, nothing.

I dont beleive i said change everything, i merely state that a coach is going to have to take flak, it goes with the territory, thats the job.

so shall we just let this season go and look forward to the next one then

yes well hes had stick he deserves it hes made alot of errors as a rookie but we can't go up this season anyway we need to let them have a nother crack at it I believe in patience in sport (no i'm not mad ) chop and change just messes things up more

I think it boils down to folk thinking Fax are better than we actually are. You should give Calland credit for getting the team to play such entertaining stuff at the start as opposed to what's happening now.

There's several very even teams in this comp, and I'll even bring Batley into this.

Look at our players ... there's several who aren't the best in the league, and that's not knocking the players, it's a testiment to how good and close this division is. There's a couple of Batley players who are better than ours in their respective positions, and that's not just on tonight's effort.

Won't knock individual players but would say the best players in the league at Fax in their respective positions are Gleeson and Larder. If Penky and Tamgart sorted out their disipline and cut their mistakes then maybe, and Black if he was more consistent. But the rest aren't that much greater than our rivals ... so WHY should everyone expect us to win every bluddy game we play?

what disappoints me most os that with the celtic fiasco as it is, had we still been playing well lots of outsiders wouldve been backing us to make a quick return to SL

Went to the game tonight as a neutral, but I thought you lacked confidence and belief in the first half, but at the start of the second half, the skill, pace, strength and tactics improved two fold.

When you win your next game, the confidence will be back and you will be unstoppable again
