Well that made next week an easy decision.Embarressing...outnumbered and 60 put on us at home to Salford.Nev er thought i'd live to see that day....

Deluded fax fans as usual... the same salford team put 38 past leeds with 12 men after getting a red card in the first half.

The same salford team beat hull kr 28 10
beat widnes 32 6


what was you expecting. We looked ok for 20 miniutes then heads went

There is no substitute for pace and class and Salford had that all over the park. We have had a lesson in how to play rugby at a different level today. The league table doesn't lie and that is why they are top and we are bottom. The reality is they have been playing at a higher intensity week in week in the SL out and we haven't in the Championship . It's one to right off, learn from it and move on. as has been said we are not going to be able to fix it this year now so let's just support the team and hope that we make some calls next season that bring some pace and class into our team so we can continue to build for the future.

Don't beat yourself up, we been in your position many time & I am sure we will again. we still have a long way to go to secure our super league status. Only a few weeks ago it was all doom & gloom at Salford, just like us, you need to stick together.
Thank you for your hospitality yesterday, it is always a pleasure coming over to Halifax, I am old enough to have witnessed some fantastic encounters between both clubs.

I rarely put critical comments on Facebook because you get slated by the hardcore fans . Today was poor and wished I had saved my 20 quid. I can accept been beaten but what I cant accept is when we drop off tackles and make fundamental mistakes . Playing out yours sets is imperative at this level as is a good kicking game. Murrell been offered a new deal but what did he do yesterday? Hb is a key area of the team and I know Murrell is part of the furniture but sometimes tough decisions have to be made. Johnston offers a running threat but again his kicking game is poor. Off the field was nearly as bad as on it. Queuing 25 mins to get a drink. Salford fans in South Stand. Atmosphere was drowned out by away fans.
Don't get me wrong Salford are a class act and are probably too good for the middle eights. HB's were a different class.

There’s a surprise!!

As supporters shouldn't we be "supporting" the lads with maybe some "constructive" criticism, rather than moaning and groaning and bagging them? Shameful.

Hear hear.

Lets look back on a fantastic season with some great performances from a team who play their hearts out.

Congratulations lads.

Soon we can soon look forward to next year with a few new names perhaps and hopefully beating the Bullys if they do get promoted (or if they don`t just get promoted directly by RFL to pooper league).

Sorry i must be positive about the RFL and the future of our wonderful game.

Well said mate. Up The Fax!

I've not posted about the game until now because it was so disappointing and I didn't want that to influence my thoughts.

Although Salford made a few mistakes, in general they were quicker of mind and foot across the park, as well as being generally stronger than us. You can't fault Fax for their fitness levels though, and you certainly couldn't say they didn't put a massive amount of effort throughout the game. We didn't play smart though and made far too many errors, some forced, some not. In the first half, we were done (at least) twice with a sweeping move from Salford where they shifted a load of players from one side of the field to the other. We didn't know how to handle it, and each time our players were so busy trying to work out who was going to get the ball, that they forgot to tackle the first receiver.

It was a game we were never going to win, but the scoreline was very disappointing. You just knew that Salford were going to score whenever they got close to our line, even when it was on the last tackle. Our goal-line defence was woeful.

We're pretty clueless in attack against better teams. Although we came close a few times, the execution of the plays always let us down (other than the one try we did score).

Regarding Jonno, I'm not sure I agree with the comments above. He needs a quality half-back partner alongside him and then he might just blossom into a great player at this level. I've defended Muzza resolutely, but I think this kind of opposition finds him out, and his body isn't quick enough or strong enough to cope with it. Time for a new number 6, but defo keep Muzza on the payroll in a mentoring capacity.

There seems to be a common misconception that people are not allowed an opinion unless its a positive one, it must be this social media mallarchy that has brought this about. It does not make one iota of difference if people on here use constructive criticism or not as they will have very little, if any, impact on the dealings the club make.

I wasn't saying that at all. Fax on and off the pitch have tried extremely hard to get it right for the last few years, it's a hell of a job, and we could so easily have ended up with other teams we've been "toe to toe" with in the past like Whitehaven, Workington and Oldham and be in League 1. So it really disses me off when some bozo says he's wasted 20 quid cos Fax couldn't keep pace with a team with 6 times the playing budget including an NRL half back. WTF should anyone think we should get even close?

I totally agree with that to be fair. I just think people are more than fine to voice their opinions within reason no matter how wrong they may seem to be.

Spot on, that's what a forum is for. We all have our own opinion and it's just a debate. Some of us may be just plain wrong, or we might just look at things differently, but the main thing on here is that we all want the very best for Fax.

We were pretty much nailed on to lose this one as they are probably the best team in this league but we put ourselves under too much pressure with poor play. Moss dropping the first high ball, why jump when he was under no pressure ? From then on he was always going to get peppered with high balls.
