Hardly any ball in the 2nd half, but a shame we conceded two late tries (albeit the last one was probably the best try of the game). Game won at half-time, and much better to see Karl standing on the touch-line for the whole game. Great turn-out from the Fax fans as well.

Excellent first half, lost our way in the second. Apart from Leigh no one is getting their own way this season. Fev challenged well by Worky at home. I think good things will come off Johnston but we just need to be a bit cleverer on the last phase of attack.

Couldn't go today because I was playing away at Sheffield but just wanted to know how we played on a quicker pitch in the sunshine?

Didn't go today but did expect us to struggle TBH. More concerned at the big HT lead not being built on. Did we not play for 80 mins again?

Yes, with only 5 mins to go it was 28 nil, with Rochdale not looking like getting near to score, then switch off and two easy tries

When Fax heard you wouldn't be able to make it they did try and get the game moved back to Saturday but Rochdale wouldn't play ball.



Anyway Neil, hope you had a good day and congratulations to Mom and Dad on their first wedding anniversary.

First half was excellent, really good play with the ball flowing freely through plenty of hands. Second half was poor, switched off and didn't look too bothered. The calls from the ref didn't help, but that's the way it goes.

One thing definitely highlighted for me today was the kicking, we need someone else to kick as tyrer just ain't cutting it and this could cost us close games going forward.

I think switched off is a good choice of words, it's not a fitness thing, But, remember we defended exceptionally well for 80 minutes but more importantly we ran the ball from wing to wing all of the match. Rochdale seldom got a move going, each tackle the ball was rarely passed more than twice.
We worked very hard, they were probably one of the worst teams we have/will face, the score line flattered them and remember four conversions were missed.
Any one who was there today should be happy, especially with Magic Johnson.
Does any body know who the clown was who walked in front of the stand just behind the dug out shouting "Harrison out" Strange how he said it within Karls hearing but was facing the stand and waling very quickly.

Quite right, but, Murrells was perfect, two tries in the first half from his kick, Rochdale tried five the same in the second half and we came away with the ball on all of them.

good showing today, result was sown up after first 15 mins

no MOTM todat, the team played as one as so should award team of the match

they dropped a lot of ball in the first half in their own 20. IMO should've been a bigger score for us
