League Weekly match report has among other things these quotes in brackets below from Paul Rowley himself.

Rowley admitted that fightback was probably an accurate description.

"We were really poor starting and I felt we needed a game changer and if that was a scuffle, so be it," he said.

"That's what happened and I felt from there on in the game changed in our favour."

End quotes.

It was planned and it worked by his own admission.

Great coaching or dirty tactics, decide for yourself it won't change the result and it only worked because of a weak man in the middle and his side kicks who missed most of the important calls, they couldn't even pick out the right people involved between themselves.

If you win games like this it doesn't matter and you turn a blind eye to it.
If you lose it does and we complain about it.

Sooner or later everyone is on the receiving end so win or lose why should we be happy when we are served up this standard of officialdom on a regular basis, we don't expect perfection but 2 out of 10 would be a 100% improvement on that display.

That quote should be taken to the disciplinary hearing.

Karl Harrison needs to get clued up too. Both Rowley and Aston deploy these tactics when they're beaten all ends up because they know it yields results.

Rubbish

It want really a dirty game just lots of niggles and sly digs both parties guilty what excuse for Fieldhouses gesture as he scores wht excuse for the ref getting the wrong man when he gave yellow cards to acton and Tonks, I agree he had a shocker and as our commentator said he evened up the penalty count in the second half.

Both coaches will say the ref had a shocker

The difference is that his shocker involved him granting Leigh 3 tries that should never have been allowed. Take the Barlow try out of the game before half time and Leigh maybe dont come back.

The ref`s reward for what can only be described as an abysmal display? Promotion to SL this week.

Good, they can have him.

It was mentioned that Ganson maybe coming out of retirement in view of the fallout from the Hudds / Saints drop goal fiasco, the article said he was "too good" to be in an administrator role.

This is the guy that caused more controversy when he had the whistle than anyone else ever and even with video technology couldn't make the right calls on more than one occasion.

His reward was to get a top job in overseeing things and if he is the best on offer and is being missed it says it all.

Just remind me , who got the WIN ?And received the 3 Points ?And are STILL unbeaten and TOP of the League ?Sour grapes deffo grow in Fax after we beat you at the LSV in June your season will be over as you wont be able to finish in the Top 2 sorry about the rant to my Fax friends , but talk about being biased what next ?I am Karl Harrison . .

If any of you have seen the post match Paul Rowley interview, Paul says "there are a lot of bitter People in Halifax right now complaining about everything ,He said that Halifax had been trying to wind Sam up all week and also on the day, and it worked ,He also said that He was PROUD of Sam and proud of the Team ,

He's proud of Sam getting sent off? What a dick.

The big frustration is that we got drawn in to this and they got the points.

And that's the difference in coaching.

Like I've said sadly KH is not up to it as a coach or from an health perspective.... The bloke is not a well man.

How do you know that? The health but not the coaching. That's obvious.

He was in hospital in and around the Batley game.
