We will beat leigh and fax.Anyway i find it funny that everyone is talking about Widnes.

Hey joking aside all this franchise bollox seems to be upsetting teams.I think the sport is a joke to be honest with no promotion or relegation for 3yrs.The fun each year has gone,and if was not a licence process and a salary cap i am sure Widnes would have bought more experienced players.Hopefully Pickers and Haggerty get match fit soon, as our front row is strong with a fully fit squad.Anyway i dont agree with French teams and Celtic Crusaders in Superleague but that a opinion.I am only laughing because Widnes is my team,and everyone having a pop at the Northern Rail finalist.

Well done Fax. Rivals we may be but I can't stand Barrow. They're like the school fugly kid.

I have to agree.

They have a dirty kit too.

Delighted by last nights result but mostly by the total commitment of all the players from 1 - 17 regardless of our second half missed tackles. Barrow were always going to come strong and the ref made a couple of wrong decisions but we got a few in the first half too. Credit to all the lads and the coaching staff!

I think you have to accept by now that this is the way we play. It got us to second in the table and a GF appearance last year and it looks as though it's yielding the same again this year. You can't really expect a team to consistently be the best attacking team AND the best defensive team in the league. It's a trade off. Lethal attack - leaky defence. Strong defence - sluggish attack. It's certainly never boring watching Fax is it?

I never said it was boring. I have watched fax for the last 20 years and I can say that, with the exception of 2003, its never been boring.

Cant be the best attack and defence????? Look at the table.

Featherstone For 551 against 256 and Superleague
Wigan For 762 against 351 and championship 1
Hunslet For 656 against 227

In all three leagues nobody has scored more than the leaders and nobody has conceeded less than the leaders, which suggests that you can have the best defence and the best attack.

Sorry - i meant solely Halifax or the "Halifax way". It's just not the way we've ever operated it seems, especially over the last three years.

I know.

I have to say, in the games where it has worked well, I have gone away thinking WOW, but in the games where it hasnt worked I have gone away thinking "?".

We just have to have fingers crossed that it works for the rest of the season and beyond, as this is the style we seem to play.

Other teams can score 50 against us, as long as we score 51 each game.

What I thought was great was the completion rate and the handling skills in spite of tricky condidtions. Really thought we were going to bomb it but deserved win in my mind. As for Ronnie Rumplestiltskin . . . . . . . Baffoon!!

We looked a decent side last night for most of the game and Barra were always going to come out fired up after Des had been in the dressing room!!

Well done lads!!

PS - Is that better boys no negativity!!

Thought I would pop in and offer my congratulations.

Though Fax were fantastic in the first half, organised, physical and motivated. Totally played us off the park. Would have been a pleasure to watch against anyone but ourselves

Didn't quite have the intensity in the second half and let us back into the game enough to give you a scare, but credit where its due, the best team won.

FAO Chris Dalton: Let it go Chris, its not good for you all that pent up bad feeling. Either that or grow up...

Well done Halifax, Barrow is a tough place to go so your efforts must be applauded.

Agent Mcchoke is doing a great job at Barra.

only 1700 too, appauling effort from the cumbria/lancashire massive.
