it was very , very , cold

Ben will always be well regarded by most of us supporters and I think it's great that we acknowledge all our ex players.
At Leigh last year one or two of our travelling imbeciles kept shouting "reject" at Ostick, not necessary.
Back to the game, I must admit I thought it was pretty dire, the second half particularly. however there was plenty of promise as Living has said above. A typical Batley, Fax, pitch, weather game.
Chips were excellent, only fault? the lady asked small portion or large. how insulting, do I look like a person who eats a small portion of chips? Nearly burst my speedos.
Well done Fax. A good afternoon out.


ps, great Fax following, easily outnumbered the home crowd. Lets keep it up all year, home and away.
See you at Fev?

Just one further point, Danny Cowling, when you make a break and run so wide that you have squeezed out your winger (no name on his shirt) so that he is nearly in touch, don't throw a pass which is a yard in front of him, goes straight to into touch and then shout at him showing your obvious displeasure, take responsibility, you did it twice which can't be good for the man with no names confidence.

Halifax RLFC = Team Spirit.

Josh Casey... one of under 20's squad

Winger should have come inside. I thought both players ended up looking bad for it. Obvious poor play by the winger and not sure what Cowling was doing with the pass.

Both their first game together so think we can cut a little bit of slack with the rustyness.

Great to see three (four if you include jarrod) of the academy lads on the field together and not looking out of place

Cougars beat Rochdale 58 to 4. Shows how you cant read much into them.

Fev beat Wakey 24-8 today including what appears to be the quickest ever try in RL (timed at 6 secs from wakeys men)

Always nice to get one over a SL team

Next week a much more realistic test though - both teams confidence will be sky high, shaping up to be a cracker even if its only pre season

Golden rule = only pass to a team-mate in a better position. No need to panic pass regardless of where Casey was or wasn't. This type of relationship/partnership forming is what friendlies are intended for i think.... no drama.

Just slightly O/T - anyone remember Dick Fairbank trying to catch passes? If you didn't put it EXACTLY in his bread basket he used to knock on. He even used to pre-shape his arms (upper and lower forearms) at right angles in the catching position as he came in on a run. Used to crease me up

Can I ask who was missing from your team yesterday ?

Johnston
Heaton
Worrincy
Tonks

Robinson
sherrife
