You make out like you are the only one who thinks this way. Its a disgrace but SL clubs run the game and if they say they are not running reserves what hope do the rest of us have? At Fax we are trying, and although we are using DR you should be proud that our youngsters have a chance.

13 Halifax born players now in 1st team squad. Some of who have come through the reserves. We all agree that DR is killing the game but we at least have looked at another pathway for home grown talent.

20v4. Bad start but on to next week and let's kick on. Up The Fax!

Dual reg my botty.
Hitchcox utterly disinterested

Can’t blame him for not being interested in your botty Robin.
Best team won, better game control, better discipline, less errors and Riddy who can come up with the skill for the special play.
Fax will learn from it.

Scott seems even slower than last season. I would of rather had aston on dual reg and played scott off the bench but need a number 7 also we are lacking in the halves massively and it will cost us this season.

Aston? You sure?
Didn't pull any trees up at our gaff.... or anywhere else for that matter. C1 player at best

You certainly were 2nd best in the halves but your forwards lost the collision and didn't give your halves any platform to work.
This is the first season I wouldn't have taken Murrell.
Dual reg.... foster went well.... but did the others really give your team any advantages?
We didn't play any DR yesterday. I'm happy with that.

All our DR/Loan players played well so that can be put to bed pretty early.

Same problem as last season. Penalties, unforced errors, and unable to score points.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

People saying Hitchcock looked uninterested everything came down Heaton's wing so hardly is fault. The faults were the halfs and also no fast play the ball we are slow off the mark etc. When you watch the leigh v Toronto game you will see how far we are behind

With respect didn't notice a tackle bust or decent off load from any of our DR forwards.As for Hitchcox,one opportunity to go full length simply didn't have the pace.I'm sure the likes of Sion Jones etc can tackle and run hard,i have different expectations from DR if we have to use it.That game at 8-4 going downhill was there for taking but as well as the obvious lack of guile we worrying ran out of fitness...

Well that's how I saw it n'all.

The game's not about pulling trees up.

How else would you like me to describe his time at Fev?
Mediocrity doesn't appear to have deterred him.
He wasn't thought well enough to retain him. He went elsewhere.... and elsewhere.... then elsewhere back to his fathas team. Presumably he'll take root back there.
