"as well as..."

Changes to the Toulouse squad:

"Two changes in the group of TO XIII made by Sylvain HOULES and his staff: Eddy PETTYBOURNE injured his foot against Leeds last weekend, leaves his place to Arthur ROMANO who thus postulates his first match under the colors of the Olympian club, while that Sébastien PLANAS replaces Tony MAUREL."

Oooo la la!

Six points in two games perhaps indicates where the problem is.

Best part time team looks like an epitaph not a valedictory.

Well that is a very disappointing result and, I presume, performance. But..It beats playing against Batley and Rochdale all ends up. Let's just hope we can at least avoid bottom spot and gain a win or two. Also use the extra revenue gained to improve the team where it is glaringly obvious needed. Up The Fax!

Pathetic effort. 6 points scored in 2 games v championship sides. You should have let Leigh Centurions be in the qualifiers instead. Even with the 6 star players they have lost, they would have done better than you lot.

@Terry Kelly. No matter what Fax are there by season endeavours.
Shut up and put you beak back in your lobby.
Up the Fax

Your picture sums you up well. Loud mouthed and a bit dim.

Think it was always unlikely we were going to get a result in Toulouse, and am Not sure how we will fair in the next 5 games. Think Widnes could be our best shot of a result.

These middle 8s highlight some of our shortcomings in the team, but that was always going to happen at this stage. Amazing how quickly knives come out for some of the players already, think some lose sight of our position compared to the others.

Get season tickets on sale now whole the mood is still upbeat.... oh hang on don't know what the structure will be yet!

Up the fax!

Just need one win to kick start us again . Playing again better teams always exposes where your weaknesses are and that is all that is happening , because that's exactly what we try do to other teams expose their weaknesses

Once we concede first we are always struggling due to our low points scoring, this has been evident all season unfortunately we are now playing the best teams in our league and the worst of the one above. We finished eighth out of the eight in this comp before it started so not really massive amounts expected from us, except by Fax fans, we just need a lucky break early in and then can start to apply out own pressure instead of being constantly under it.

Onwards and upwards.

It is evident in both these two games that the players are now aware of our attacking 'problems' and somewhat panicking in good ball. We had so much pressure in to Toulouse 30/40, but continued to force the pass or take the wrong option. We need to go back to building pressure, forcing repeat sets and eventually teams will crack. Our defence was good again on the whole and the scoreline was far from the truth really. They scored two lucky tries from high kicks (granted ours was a lucky rebound from a kick), one from a another kick through and one of the Toulouse wingers scored from inside his own half, beating about 10 defenders!

Agree with most of the latter posts, against better teams, every team gets exposed, does not matter which sport. No matter what the coaches and players say in public, what is really expected behind closed doors. Fax defied the odds all season and made top 4, a fabulous result in its self, but as fans are we sometimes a little delusional and think we are all of a sudden world beaters ?
Take the extra exposure and build on it, because sure as Leigh and Fev would love to be in our position.
Stop bulling the lads up during the week, then castigating them after the game. There is a reason they are in the Chamionship and not full time pros, be thankful we have a team that is in the mix!

Congratulations to al concerned at HRLFC for continued improvement year on year.
