Read what I wrote again. I said when we started throwing it around we looked more dangerous. Jeez get off ya horse sunshine. Best team won fair play.

Who cares about predictions? I knew we were a patched up team but I still thought we would come through after our momentum build up but you out played us.

Bottom line is though if we turn up and play our best and you do the same i still think we will beat you.

we never even turned up tonight and still managed a bonus point.

expact a tougher contest if we meet in the play offs.

We aint, for Fev read Whitehaven and Sheffield in the last few seasons.
Stick to your gameplan and we cannot cope with it, Fev had a tight defence and we were clueless.

Quote: Fax4Life "Thats what makes me so sad and depressed - we CAN beat any team in this league but we DON'T win when teams are ORGANISED.
All points to the COACH.

Barrow, Leigh, Dewsbury, Sheffield they were all organised - and we beat them - We didnt perform today - we got the bonus point we didnt really deserve. Its not the end of the world and there is plenty of rugby still to be played.

Quote: urbancarrot "I am sticking by the fact that we did pretty well with the patched up team we had out.. We even had players out there who shouldn't have played but put their hands up and showed some guts... We now have a bit of time off to re-group and get some bodies fit which should bode well for the run in.. Maybe going out of the NRC might be a blessing in disguise for our league push..'"

agree, but got to cut out the silly penalties n errors.
i think a few out there tonight would not have played if others fit.

Yer bonus point was a well er bonus I agree.
Don't agree that Leigh were organised but the others maybe, thing is man for man we have a much better squad than those clubs except Barrow yet at times we struggled.

And yet we beat Barrow. What do you put that down to? Bad coaching?

once players out on the pitch it is hard to coach them into not giving penalties or dropping ball etc.

Should have had the weekend off last week, rather than opting to play Dewsbury. Another bullet to the head of Halifax RLFC.

Methinks this club is in big trouble financially , and the directors, coaching staff and certain players know this. Only a Grand Final win will keep the club going at this level (top 3 side). This will put too much pressure on the team and they will bomb it when it really matters (as per usual).

If our big name players move on, I can't see Calland getting the best out of an average team. Expect a return to the Faz years.

Attendances aren't increasing neither because when a stayaway fan turns up for a big game, they get disappointed YET AGAIN.

Admission prices must be reduced to reflect the quality of Rugby League on show. £18 to sit is quite frankly proposterous.

FAILURE ISN'T ABOUT FALLING DOWN, FAILURE IS STAYING DOWN..........:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3245.jpg



As an ambassador of the club I work for & love, having supported for almost 40 years, I sometimes wonder why I bother responding to negative posts on this messageboard, but sometimes things have to be said.
There's nothing like a defeat to bring out the dead-wood, negativity, etc etc.
But, tonight I'm aware to the fact that certain players shouldn't have played due to injury and recovery from injury, but they did and from what I saw, nobody deliberately knocked on, missed a tackle or whatever you'd like to criticise.
The criticisms aimed at Calland & his staff for each & every loss are in my opinion grossly unfair.
Do people think that we practice the art of losing the ball, missing a tackle, losing to a better team ?
Tonight we were beaten by a better team, so what. No Tamghart, Wrench, Haley, Larder & blokes putting their hands up to play for the team when they were clearly less than 100%, I'd say let's see what the end of the seaon brings and not judge anyone now.

'Except the Lord keep the City':d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_1621.jpg



Quote: wereutherein1987? "When you are dominated by a stronger defence like we were you are made to look hopeless in attack!

Our plays were slow - they put us on our backs every tackle and as a consequence no forward momentum and a lot of static flat plays.

MC can prepare them for all the moves in the world but if your not controlling the ruck forget it!'"


Completely agree. That was the difference. When Fax made the tackle they thought the work was done and got back, allowing them to get quick play the balls time after time against little if any line speed. When Fev made the tackle they carried on working, winning the ruck and most times got our man on his back, then worked to get up in defence quickly. That sort of thing does come under coaching though and we should be aware of this tactic as it does make a huge difference.

Nice to read some sense.......Thats the 1st game we've lost in 9.
Yes we weren't too good tonight,but that doesn't mean we're on the scrapheap.Get behind the manager and the team for the rest of the season.You never know whats gonna happen next.
Everyone,well nearly everyone on here,predicted that we were going to win this game.Like the man says we just got beaten by the better team on the night.As supporters stay positive and get behind the team;Thats what we're supposed to be there for innit??
Bring on Dewsbury away.............score predictions anyone??

We do need to be more cohesive though - both in defence and attack. It's OK having a number of classy individual players but we need a more structured game plan. Every time we start our set of six i'm expecting a knock on or a brain fart. Every time we start defending a set i expect a penalty. It does no good for my nerves! During the madcap 46-40 victory at Leigh we had a spell of fifteen minutes where we defended like Featherstone did last night. It was structured and penalty free. Please lets have more of this.

We are still in the mix.

However, it would be good to get back to winning ways immediately. Everytime we lose some fans start hacking into the club's computer system and start trawling through the internal financial statements of the club.

Quote: Fax4Life "Sadly the way the club are going we may not have the players to keep us at the top of this league next season we are skint.'"

Please would you be so kind as to provide a link to the club's cash flow statement and an internal P&L. It's good to share.
