I often wonder who gets these penalties that coaches complain go against them. Somebody must be winning the penalty count somewhere.

Last week we had Jason Demetriou complaining about the heavy penalty count. Penalty count ? 11-11 - FACT.

Would just like to say congratulations, you were the better team on the day and deserved the win. Can understand powell being dissappointed after losing same as kh was earlier in the season, emotions run high sometimes.

I thought it was a great match, a real old battle with both teams giving it there all. Also i thought both sets of fans were good and i had good craic with a few fax fans before match. Good look for rest of season and hopefully we'll meet again in final but with us winning lol.
I think the more teams that tick the box for sl the better, the rfl cant ignore as all.

I really hope this accusation against Sam didn't happen, or the bottle throwing incident. It must have happened ( if at all ) before the last try 'cos there weren't too many Fev fans left after that score. Disappointing not wanting to applaud either your own team or the winners off at the end of an epic tussle.
Powell really has let himself down in my opinion,him approaching 'Fax players in that manner after the game was unprofessional to say the least & his comments were shallow.

Can I firstly say well done Fax on your win your defence was great yesterday and your coach got his tactics spot on you never know we might get a chance to play you again this season

Regarding the Barlow incidents firstly giving us fans the V sign and telling us to F off is very unprofessional but i could live with that then later spitting towards the crowd is disgusting and should not be allowed as for the alleged throwing of a bottle I didn't see that but Barlow did pick a programme up so that may of been thrown and if true that should also be delt with

Regarding the fans I had a great weekend with our own and the Halifax fans and hope to have some great time in the future with you

I haven't seen the Powell interview so cannot comment but I wouldn't worry to much. Karl accused us of cheating a couple of week ago but they know what they are doing and I have reason to believe they will still be good friends

As I said well done you were the best team and deserved your win in the final

Coaches should send there 2nd in command out after the game to do an interview if there hyped up, because there going to come out with some shiiiiite they will later regret. As for the game i half expected the result and i left straight after the game because couldnt be d to clap anyone afterwards. As for Barlow you can let him off for a bit of showboating he obviously is a decent lad for what he did for Tangi Roparti, but if he has spit into the crowd thats out of line and he could get arrested for that and would deserve it

I agree, It does go to show that he's a decent lad by donating his money, Also If fans were hearling abuse, Bottles, programs etc, i can also understand how he felt and thought "f you", Heat of the moment an all that, Just like Harrison and the WWE statement the other week and also Powells Little cry, Emotions run high, 30 minutes ofter the game and a little perspective might have been a totally different interview.

Lets move on to the next time we meet, Long may the rivaly continue becuase it has certainly brought some intensity to the games and atmosphere to the grounds, as long as people are safe and there is no trouble then banter is exactly that, Banter.

Top post and a very good idea, as for the game it looks better on play back,all the press and tv pundits are raving about it.
Live you are so tense when we play each other you never know what to expect.

If we could just get rid of the lingering bad feeling that seems to die down and them flairs up again with a couple of daft posts just think what these games could really be like for us fans.

I hope the all the alledged incidents involving Barlow,spitting,bottle throwing etc that led up to it gets looked into and sorted whatever happened.

Hang on I've just realised and hope you have noticed who you would have sent out.

Ryan Sheridan, he needs to get smartened up as he looks like a 1960's dustman at times.

I can just see it "Go out there and represent the club on national tv" and then when youv'e done the bins are round the back mate.

Might not be wise afterall mate.

Sam denied the allegations last night saying they were totally untrue and that he has more respect than that.

Ive said numerous times theres not a chance that if he did it then it would be missed because of all the cameras. So if nothing comes of it we can safely say that theres been a few porkies told. I mean its not like the cameras missed Daryl Powell squaring up to Dane Manning after the game is it?

I can't see the police getting involved over the Barlow spitting allegation unless there is some solid evidence he has done something wrong.

If they were to, it could become very tit for tat as if they were to act over that then Powell's actions could also attract complaints.

Sunday needs to be put to bed now, not forgotten, but both teams still have a title to play for!

and he does it so well

And the people making accusations against Barlow obviously cannot stomach watching the re-run of the tv broadcast 'cos they'd notice that our very own pantomime villain saved Powell a twonking by ushering him away and acting as a mature grown up calming down a spoilt, upset, tantrum throwing child.
Oh how we like a laugh
