To be honest i would have liked Fax to beat Bradford today.You did ok and come the end of the season you may scrape 5th or 6th in the league.I just thought bradford dropped alot of ball and Fax did mate.Anyway at least you can concentrate on the league and NR Cup now.

It was like a trip to the Circus , some quite brilliant individual and group play followed by comic cuts , Bradford got the ' rub ' from the ref with constantly stepping off the mark and a good few forward passes ,

It was like watching the Benny Hill show , entertaining , funny and occasionally cringeworthy

If's and buts today for me.

the interception if they doesnt happen were within 6, if we hadnt let them score on that last tackle play donw the wing which i have no idea how he managed to get free, then we are level. poor defending and a brain explosion which penky has sometimes and we were in the game.

Defense again wasnt too good today, the better players and full time players meant they were going to score some points but we could have prevented at least 2 of them tries quite easily.

good to have another derby though, if a game between Halifax and Bradford isnt going to pull the fans in then nothing will, just over 5,000 for a game like that isnt really good enough,. especially seen as though we havent had a game like that for 8 years

Worrying isn't it? Even despite our form - this tie should have pulled in 7,000. Something big needs to happen to re-ignite RL in the town of Halifax. Marketing on that scale is costly. I'm not so sure we'd get an average of 4,000 if we got back into SL?

I think the players can be really proud of their effort today(but yes more of the same every week). A bit smarter we may have sneaked it but we were playing a SL team and we gave them a real good game. With a few more 50/50 decisions we would have been even closer, i mean look at the interception try, how far offside are the 2 defenders out there. I dont think Au Van even gets back 5 yards, where he intercepts is about where he got to. Some really good trys and all of the players steped up. We know we can play rugby and score trys we just need to learn how to defend as a unit.

Everyone had decent games but i think Penky, Worrincy and Aizue stood out for me.

Spot on.

[sizePLAYERS PLEASE BRING THIS ATTITUDE TO YOUR CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES[/size

My thoughts exactly , your form over the last two seasons should have seen over 3,000 averages at the Shay ( without freebies ) , our form over this season should have seen over 3/4,000 at the LSV on Friday

It's not like the people of the towns were not aware of what has/is been on offer , unfortunatly our ' brands ' are not worth much anymore

Thats one area i expect to improve straight away with Noble at the club.

2,200 , although some have suggested more , I think that was more down to the atmosphere generated by the nature of the game , and Mr Childs usual bizarre performance

Oh and our crappy championship team performance has got the Bulls fans realising just how bad their team is. So lots of positives out of today.

That was a better turnout than at our game with Sheffield. We got only 3,500, and about 200 of those were from Sheffield! I thought your turnout was good. It looked good on TV, certainly. Your fans were very vocal too, which was great.

I enjoyed your game. It was very entertaining and I kept on hoping you'd take the lead, but you hit the doldrums for a ten minute spell in the second half and that turned the game. You only really recovered in the last ten minutes or so, which was a shame because after that first half I really thought you had it in you to beat Bradford and I was looking forward to the second half, especially when you scored!

However, if you could get your defence sorted out it would help. A shame it lets you down because your attack is great.
