If it's not broke don't fix it, Fax can't handle the way Haven play, so why should they change their tactics because the eater of the sourest grapes wants 'pretty rugby'.




That would seem that they are better than us, they know how to beat us!




Haley's chip over and chase try had a bit of luck about it, we should have reacted to the kick sooner.



We beat them at the Rec because we wanted it at the time, the players didn't look like that until the game was lost today. Plus we will beat Haven and other teams when we learn to deal with teams who play simple, yet effective Rugby League.

Wow im going to agree with Haighy about the "flukey" kick off. If the players whos heads the ball went over had done their job then Haven wouldnt have had the ball back. They reacted far too late and we got what we deserved.

Dosnt matter that its Haven yesterday it could have been any team probably apart from Donny and they would have beat us. We are just far too soft.

I also agree with Haighy.

Also can you say they are not better than us when they beat us most times they play us? That would suggest they are.

Reckon we would have to lose at least three of our last seven not to finish top now

I know that a lot of what you are saying is right but I would ask would you want to watch that lot every week?
No.

Like you say we have to learn how to keep it simple at times when the game needs winning, then when its won do the flash stuff.
But thats the problem we all like the team playing the way it has been these last two seasons, i do not want to watch a Whitehaven style team tbh.
We just need to defend and keep it tight until we get the upper hand on the opposition, thats something where a good stand off comes in, they get you behind the opposition, teams like Whitehaven like to get in your faces, so put the ball behind them, then they are playing in their half not ours.
Thats the missing link this season - a stand off said it hundreds of times.

Yes, because unlike Fax at this moment in time, they look like a unit, play with nounce and know how to build pressure.

For the first hour Halifax looked like 13 individuals that had never played together before let alone the 'beastings' Calland claimed they had at 'training' this week.

If Fax click then we will be the team to beat....but to be honest we have a lot of improving to do

Dear dear me. Fact we bossed the game for 60 mins and you cant deny that. Fax were not allowed to play their game because we had a game plan to beat them. Hats off for the comeback not many team would have been able to do that at any level so credit where it is due BOTH ways. Shame about the idiots that wanted to get to the Haven players after the game. Very ugly and not what we need in this game.
Good luck for the rest of the season.

Haven deserved the win on sunday, any other result would have been daylight robbery. I for one would have been pretty upset if we'd have won as it would have papered over the cracks. Fax clearly have the talent they just need to get out of this funk. Haven are always good at this time of year and should always be respected whenever they are played, just like any other team.

As the last great Bill Shankly said...defence wins games

Seriously though Fax4Life. That is one of the most pathetic posts i've ever read.

No its not,a lot of sense in that post

Don't care what you think this is a Halifax fans messageboard for us to put our own views on.
Watch the highlights and see how bad we were and how we let you win a game that I am not saying you did not deserve to win I am saying its something we do most times when we play you, play cr8p and you feed off our carcass.

and i'm only expressing my view that your comments (like the comments by other fax fans as well) seem childish. very similar to castleford and hull kr comments in previous seasons when we beat them. Could never be gracious in defeat.

You have to accept you were completely outplayed for 65 minutes by a team from a small town in cumbria who you assume u have a god given right to trounce.

ps - you actually smashed us a few years ago (60-8 I think)

Our man to man tackling was rubbish, they knew our set plays near the line, we didn't build pressure and had players running in to each other.

Not to mention 'Haven were practically falling asleep on our players but the ref wasn't blowing up so there was no point going for a quick play and looking for a penalty because it was always a knock on against us. They played to the ref, we didn't.
