supporting Halifax through thick & thin!:9781.jpg



We do look clueless though in attack atm. When young Bowman was down injured, no one was taking control of the players, setting up the next plays. You could even hear the ref telling the tj's to look out for an early kick!
All that happened was Ben fired a high pass for Shad to take the ball up.

Also, in the last couple of plays, we only managed to criss cross across the pitch a couple of times, with Ben making small darts forward.

We have the players as was proven at the start & middle of the season, they need to believe in themselves.

After finishing 3rd last season behind a full time Salford team and a holiday visa enhanced Celtic team will 3rd this season be a good finish?

As for the team we cant even complain about a small squad because according to the club we are well within the sslary cap so there must have been money to spend.

On the team front, Royston dosnt look like the best fullback in the league does he? Goddard played tonight like he was still stumbling round the streets of France. Beswick and Penky cant play 6 but anyone with RL knowledge knew that all ready didnt they? No Mr Calland? Well Maybe you have sussed it by now. Cherryholme and Andy Bowmen i feel we would be better served playing with 12 or 11 players respectivly. If only players showed the same enthusiasm as Wrench.

Calland has stood up to the plate now a number of weeks on the trot and has come up short every time, constant tinkering with the team and a team that looks like it lacks enthusiasm whos fault is it?

Time to go Mr Calland as one of the players said at this time they dont need a drinking buddy they need a coach. One of Rhinos ambitions is to coach this team, have the board got the bottle? I doubt it.

Quote: Tony Fax "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?'"


To yuor first point i completely agree. Three years ago we only dreamed of being top of the league. Now we have held that position for a lot of this season. Therefore surely that shows Calland has done some good? We all think we should be top. What are we basing this on? there are a lot of good teams in this league and a lot of the have now found form. Don't forget wehave had a tough run of games, Fev, Widnes (who r on form), Witehaven (who have always been a funny team for us), Sheff (who had already beaten us this season) and Batley who were in a relegation Scrap.

On your second point I thought Tamghart was much improved tonight, did some fantasti running in the second half, and thats what he sould be doing. Penky looked better to me when he was talking th line on, Penky thats what your good at, catch them out offside take the line on, win penalties.

The only thing is, do we think the league is stronger or weaker than it was last season? Id say weaker. We lost Salford and Celtic to be replaced at the top of the league by Barrow who i doubt would get anywhere near the two previously mentioned teams.

i don't know to be honest, but its a strange league, Barrow are top, yet we have beaten them twice but we have struggled against other top teams.

As you mentioned on a previous thread Karl Harrison will stick with Plan A, then revert to plan A, and swap to Plan A. At least there is a plan.
Looking at Fax last night on Sky it seems to be find A plan, stick to A plan Found, and if it doesnt work hope for the best.

Karl Harrison at Fax next year please-then we will be grand final contenders.

U2 were brilliant last night.MAGINIFICENT OOOOOOHHHHH OOHHH.

She carries on through it all...... She's a Waterfall:



Quote: Tony Fax "Well put, faxtastic. It's all about being patient ... again it was obvious tonight we got beat in the half backs ... Handforth controlled EVERYTHING for Batley and Black couldn't, partly cos he's injured. Calland's not daft ... he'll realise what needs to be done and will build year on year until we get it right. Maybe the worst thing that could have happened this season was to have such a great start ... everyone now thinks we should be world beaters!'"

Don't know about you Tony, but I believe this years comp to be the best RL comp there has been in years - at any level - "by a country mile"!!!! icon_wink.gif
No team has the given right to beat another. One team has a good run, the opposition coaches adjust and work out how to beat them, so even is our comp.
I've used the analogy before. A race at Hayock, 6 horses all in a line well into the final furlong would have the handicappers wettin themselves.
We've seen some fantastic games this year, and I'm told by my little mate that last nights was no different. A tense, entertaining affair worthy of a much greater stage.Both Fax v Fev games this year have been examples of just that. But for a dropped ball in either of those games, either result could have been different.
It's a very even comp - we've worked out how to play each other and the results are very close. Fax could just as easy be well out of reach now by not playing much differently to how they have been. Just by a decision or two in either game, a bounce of a ball, a knock on at a crucial moment.
Games and seasons are decided upon such finite actions.
Reading this board it appears Fax are close to nuclear melt-down. I don't believe it to be the case and will be very mindful of that come the play-offs!

That country mile quote was prety daft though!!! icon_rolleyes.gif

The only things Calland has done wrong in my eyes is playing Miles Greenwood at Widnes and his 'country mile' comment.

He is the best man for the job who we have for the next two years, he needs our backing.
