Flem 6

Lucky to get the win. The attacking shape is all over the place

Thank god the ref didn't know the play on rules . Struggling to be more positive.

Poor spectacle, poor performance, poor crowd and poor ref. But two competition points for us. Will S was immense, and probably the difference between the teams on the day. The Rochdale lad who got MoM for them had a really good game.

On-loan from Warrington, Livett

It must be so frustrating playing Winger at Halifax.

What I will place on record is that Sion Jones will IMO play SL. It's up to our coaching staff to recognise what he and others have got for the maximum benefit of HRLFC. its time for changes big time. Use the options or lose them.

Only winger??

Good games from Sharp and most of the pack and as said, Jones stood out and could be a real find if he gets some game time.
Other than that normal service resumed, too much dropped ball when on attack or more accurately in the opposition half as any resemblence to attack is purely coincidental.
Our completion rate must be running at about 15% and then after putting in 3 or 4 good tackles giving the odd daft penalty away.
You end up just being glad we got the 2 points because it could easily have been 0.

Anyway, if next weeks game survives the weather we can all go to Mount Unpleasant and freeze out butts off and as a special treat hope we get the same ref.
See, there's always a ray of hope just round corner.

I said before the game today would test how good or bad our cutting edge is and I think we got our answer blunt!
Terrible first half and I like others wonder how certain players are still in the team, we have 2 centres who never pass the ball so why still pick them? Our kicking game is hit and miss, more miss apart from the 40/20 off Muzza and that lucky bounce for one of our tries.
Thank goodness for Will Sharp our only real quality player, lots of effort in defence although 2 poor tries conceded today .
Must do much better at Batley next week or else that will be an even longer afternoon than today seemed!

When is marshall going to realise the problem is the attack!.... is he the only one who cant see that certain players are NOT performing and especially muzza, is he frightened to death to drop him?...He keeps goin on about how important it is for us to av a reserves and well there doin blah blah blah....Well giv them a go then!.....look how well sion jones went, look how they played against a nr full wakefield supet league side....mgrath, calcott, punchard, brook etc.. Its time RM stopped tryin to pull the wool over peoples eyes by constantly bullting

We are definitely firing blanks at the moment on attack. Just became embarrassing yesteday and listening to post match interview from RM he admitted if he was opposition coach planning to play us he would know his side would be getting a lot of 'free' ball due to our errors. Anybody know what Jordon Lilley is doing at the moment? We need some form of spark at half back. I would also take a look at Barber/Woody to share those centre spots as I think we have run our course on wingers never getting a pass and bish bosh bash down that channel just isn't working.
it was a shambles at times yesterday but at least we got the two points which is vital already looking at how London/Tolouse and Fev are going.

agree try barber and Jwh in centres, dont think we need to look at players from other clubs tho like jordan lilley....My point is we av a reserves and 2 half backs playin well there so give them a go 1st, it cant be any worse than the combinations RM is using and if not up to it then maybe look at DR/loan signin..RM constantly on about Development pathway and reserves impressing, were is the development pathway then? It all sounds and looks good for RM but in reality its bull

Changed needed at 3,4,6,7 unless this happens fast we will be left behind
