Like i said its probably his best game he has played for us and to be honest that break was all that he did. That just speaks volumes for how poor he has been for us. His kicking game has not been good for us and i bet he will be the first to admit that. Hopefully he can go from strength to strength after today but for me Holly and Black have to start and we cant afford the luxury of having a half back on the bench. On the note about passing, how bad is our passing? How many times do our props have to check or reach behind to catch a ball? Our distribution has got to be much crisper especially without a big pack. We cant afford small guys to be stopping running to catch a ball, they need all the momentum they can get.

Maybe he had no option but to take a pay cut as no-one else would have given him a job.

I notice how people are getting on Jones' back but I don't see anyone having a go at Black who has been totally anonymous so far this season.

Could it be that we reached two Grand Finals (and won one) DESPITE the coach rather than because of him?

It could be argued that, with the players that were available to the coach over the last two seasons, any other coach would have achieved just as much and, if they had sorted out the defence which our incumbant coach seems unable to do, might even have finished at the head of the league table in those two seasons and added a second Grand Final crown.

Who knows? But what is crystal clear is that things are not right with the team / coaching. Something needs to be done, though there are potential pitfalls in whatever transpires.

I was there today. Your pack was dire. I know how you feel I have been following my team through thick and thin for a lot of years.

You fans turned up in numbers but sorry but your squad looks thin too me. We will see but this isn't the Fax I have seen play certainly since 2004 when you put 50 on us.

Be a long season but sorry to say you were well beaten and played poorly.

Not a wind up it is just what I saw today.

Pretty much my thoughts exactly.

I cant believe none of you get it. This is just a ploy to get us in super league !!

Widnes got in by having and average team who couldnt beat an egg, so we have until July to go one better.....bottom of the table !

Getting good at this consipracy theory stuff me........or is it just the booze

Thanks. its good to hear what other clubs fans think.
You are bang on by the way. Looks like an easy win for you lads a week on Sunday, even worse what will Bradford do to us and on TV???

Next 2 league games are Leigh at home and widnes away. We're gonna be at the bottom of the league after 5 games with only 1 bonus point to our name.
I've said it all along (not on here though) that we've had the sucres of the last 2 seasons despite of Calland, he's taken us as far as he can and his time is up for me, but who we gonna replace him with?? because personally I don't think Ball or Gonzales are up to the job either, Martin Hall back as first team coach maybe???

I think the reason Martin Hall went to the less hands on role he took originally was due to his business commitments, and time he spends abroad. If the club were to replace Calland, it needs to be someone completely new, not rehashing the current set up

I had a go at him in one of my previous posts. Always better to be honest i feel. Like i said this was jones best game for us and all he did was that break, i could have pointed out how poor his last option on their line was late in the game but i chose not to. Black was anonymous for most of the game apart from his break up the middle where he picked up the injury that saw him leave the field. I doubt Jones would have got on otherwise. I do feel for them though, no half backs of any quality can play well behind such a dominated pack.

THE WAY THAT I SEE IT....WE HAVE MAJOR PROBLEMS AT THE MINUTE WITH BOTH ATTACK AND DEFENCE. THE DISPLAY AT SHEFFIELD WAS THE WORST I HAVE SEEN IN ALONG TIME.

WE ARE DEFINATLY RUNNING LOW ON CONFIDENCE, AND THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE QUICKLY!

MC's JOB IS TO COACH AND MOTIVATE...I SUGGEST HE STARTS DOING IT NOW.

3 GAMES IN AND 3 DEFEATS IS TERRIBLE.

WE HAVE LEIGH NEXT, TO BEAT THEM WE HAVE TO PLAY WITH THE SAME INTENSITY AND CONTROL AS WE DID AGAINST FEV IN THE 1ST HALF...IF WE DONT WE WILL GET BRUSHED ASIDE.

IF WE CAN BEAT LEIGH IT WILL BOOST CONFIDENCE AND GIVE US THE CHANCE OF GOING ON A WINNING STREAK.

HOWEVER IF WE DONT WIN, I CAN SEE US LOOSING THE NEXT 3 GAMES AFTER THAT.

COME ON FAX SORT IT OUT!

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS! PLAY LIKE THEM!

If a player needs motivating to play for Halifax he shouldn't be playing for Halifax at all!!!

THIS IS TRUE...

BUT BY THE PERFORMANCE AT BRAMALL LANE YESTERDAY....I WOULD SAY ONLY PENKY, JONES AND CHANDLER 'WANTED IT'

THIS HAS TO CHANGE...AND QUICKLY

You took the words out of my mouth, I could not agree more.

I very rarely post on this board, but I did yesterday because I was and still am incensed by yet another awful performance from a team that does not look like they are being coached.

rlw, we are all entitled to our opinions and I respect yours, even though I don't agree with them. I'm not interested in personally arguing with anybody here, I just wanted to express my views for a change. Please don't tell me whom I should have faith in and who deserves my backing - those things are up to me and I am happy to agree to differ.

I think we all deserve a lot more from a club that we continue to follow through thick and thin. That's it from me on the subject, thanks for listening.
