Superstar, show me where I said it was an "ok performance" and I'll donate £100 to a charity of your choice, fail to show me and match my offer to the club's trustee fund. MONEY WHERE MOUTH IS TIME !


I'll never coach any kid of your surely, as I'm not worthy. And you're credentials are ?????

Enthusiasm,commitment,pride in the jersey,working for each other,will to win
Barrow showed it all from the off tonight. We lost because we didn't.

If Matt can't get this from our players for a match as important as tonight then I must think something is seriously wrong. I'm not totally blaming the coach as it is ultimately the players that take the field. One thing is clear something needs to change.

Whoever told Penky he is a ball handler needs shooting. We've got the best hooker in the league and he thinks he's Wally Lewis!

Andy Ellis was hooker in the team of the year mate, fact.

We were out-enthused on the night.

That suggests you feel it is purely down to the fact that Barrow merely had more enthusiasm. When in fact they had more ideas, pride, passion, defensive ability, go forward, composure . . . . . . . do I need to go on?

I have no coaching qualifications but represented my county and country playing the game.

Stop banging on about the best season we have had u muppet . We all know that . What people on here are on about is the coach not having a clue what to do when plan a doesn't work . No pride in the shirt they wear and no fight in there bell and playing like it's the first time they have met each other . I don't mind losing it's the way we lost tonight . We was clueless . Calland out by a country mile

That's all I wrote, I didn't insinuate anything else did I ?

Hugh Waddell played for Great Britain in a win against the Aussies, so what, he was garbage.

If you fancy doing a bit of coaching, I can point you in the right direction, oh, and you'd have to be CRB checked, oh and you'd actually have to pass the exams to gain the qualifications, just like every one of our coaches at Halifax have had to do, stop being silly, we got beat cheer up.

Thanks for emphasising my point Rafa. How is Penky going to win it whilst he's dropping balls at stand off?

It's a fine line between getting it spot on as you were doing early on and making too many mistakes as you seem to be doing at the moment

For short spells you are brilliant in attack , but you have never sorted your defence , if you outscore them , you win , if you dont , you lose

Life is like a box of ch........

I wouldn't know ? You're asking me and you know it all.....


Perhaps Calland coaches him to drop the ball
What do you reckon ?

No I don't fancy doing any coaching but thanks for the offer. With 2 kids and a 3rd overdue (hence why not at the game) I have no time to give as my job is also time consuming. I dont EVER mind losing but the manner in which we lost is very poor. Anyone can see that except you?? - For someone who coaches the game I find that bemusing

worse team by a country mile!!!!

Losing patience with "he's only a new coach learning his trade etc." what about Dave Clark, he's had to face demotion to assitant and then had to pick things up again. His team were better prepared, more up for it and tacticlly miles ahead of us.

Lets face it - 2 years on the trot we have peaked at the beginning of the season. Or should we face the real facts, we get away with it at the beginning of the season when other teams are still working on their fitness and shape. As soon as the bsuiness end arrives we aint up to it.

No stand off - don't need one says the coach, we've got enough ball players who can fit in. so we'll have 4 hookers in stead. but then which one of them actually plays at dummy half, its hard to tell sometimes, but no the coach said that doesn't matter, we have all these ball players and anyone of them can go to dummy half. yes these are things he said early in the season. but you can't go on playing off the cuff football with no structure and players drifitng out of position all the time.

Penky did have another shocker so did beswick but its the coach who has put penky at half back and ruined his game this year. Him and Glees rotating at hooker is such an obvious one for me. As for beswick i never know where he's playing, when he's meant to be stand off or loose forward, he still seems to end up in the middle at dummy half.

And absolutley no motivation. like others have said, if you can't get up for a game like this then......

It's all about confidence i'm afraid i've we've run out of it. We've hit the wall. The players still have the skills and ability but we need to instill some self belief but time is running out. As for sacking Calland? Who are we - Newcastle United?
