Great important win. And thats the most important thing well done lads. First half seemed we was on fire and yet the second half we were back to our usual switching off mode. Whilst its great we won certain things cant be ignored. The defence MUST be sorted ASAP! If we switch off against Leigh, Fev, Batley, Sheffield etc we face the prospect of not just losing but no bonus point. The players clearly as individuals as well as a team can play top quality rugby and also win. What the coaching staff must do is sort out this poor defence and concentration. Least we won this week and also missing a couple of our better players. Lets just hope we can compete next week and even if we lose then get a vital Bonus Point. But for me the problems we have are still there and will not just ago away over a win in France. Plenty of work and the jury is still out about the way things are at the moment

You predicted that Halifax would LOSE. They won and yet you moan.

Thats what you put on the tolouse score predictions thread and now your complaining that we've won. Make up your mind

I think a better team would have made it difficult for you - but you need to give great credit to Toulouse for a good second-half display - they are struggling but at least the french coach actually took the massive step for him to change thing around a bit and the players responded.
MC recognised that after the game and stressed the importance of staying alert for the full 80 mins.

He defnatley needs to break out some new material though.

I call it as I see it - and I'm free to do so as it's an open forum. Just as Forever Blue his entitled to his posts he is equally entitled to receive criticism. I'm sure players read this forum and they have now read that they should be sacked after having just won a game. What a wonderful way to read how your fans are responding. Like it or not - posts like that ARE pathetic.

It's an opinion.....simple! I can see Neils point too and he's frustrated!! We just want to see effort each and every week! I can't comment about TO as I didn't go but were he to make the same comment after Sheffield last week I don't think many could argue! My only gripe regarding this forum is the select few that take a holier than thou stance and don't always allow a difference of opinion which in my eyes is censorship and not what debate is about. I also LR take your point as valid but at the end of the day they are paid sportsmen and open to criticism as part of the game they play! They should be grateful they are not Wendyballers as everything is open forum in their lives even private stuff!! I dont think an impassioned cry from a very loyal fan is pathetic more misdirected passion.

I think by far the biggest problem on this forum is that we don't have enough actual debate. Just 1 post and then 18 posts arguing whether the poster was correct to post it. Get on with it ffs.

Obviously !!!!!! We lost !!!!!!!!

Yesterday we won. That's the point I'm making. I would like to say that if he wants to go and watch us put 60 points past the opposition every week go and watch Wigan. Oh wait . . . they lost at home to Catalans. Well well well . . . . . . what is this game we call rugby league? Surely it can't be so competitive that we, who have a god given right to be at the top of the table year in year out, should find ourselves struggling a bit? This isn't what I signed up for when I became a fan! I"m going off to to sulk for a bit before I take a course in how to "man up" and stop bleating. I'm also going to learn how to use forums so that I don't get my knuckles rapped in future. I think Tony Fax does crash courses in this very subject . . . . .

Up the Fax for god's sake !!!!!!!

they certainly do....................

I was even accosted (in a nice way) by Mr Steele in the Press Box who asked me if I was,by any chance,'sanjunien' ? I replied rather reluctantly,errr,yes,why ?
he said he found my comments 'illuminating' or similar - don't know if it was intended as a compliment or complaint ?

so,rest assured all your comments are noted here by the highest authorities !

No such thing , great isn't it

I just think people get a little tetchy on here sometimes especially to say we all want the same thing!! We'll never have a 100% equilibrium on here as opinions are differring constantly!! The point I was making is a week in sport is a long time!! Had FBAW said sack the players last week he'd have got a here here!! This week he is pathetic!! LR don't go the way of Tony Fax your actually an ok bloke!!

Are you sure it was him this time? I remember you "meeting" him before, at a game he wasn't even at!!

yes,pretty sure ! put it this way,

not knowing him from Adam I asked him as a Fax representative of some kind 'is MC under any pressure,is he facing the chop the way the results are going ?'
this gentleman replied 'well,i'm the chairman of Halifax and it's not club policy to sack managers on a regular basis' - had plenty of chatting with him actually,you'd be surprised what his feelings are towards the club & fans etc !
and before you ask me NO,i'm going to tell you what he said........

btw - the guy who I thought was Mr Steele last time around was there also,and I said hello to him as well

Quite right he would be speaking "off the record"

When is the draw for the next round of the NRC?

But he was alright, he was never wrong



I miss Tony Fax. Now there WAS a guy that got things off his chest on here

Hasn't it already been done? Or am I going nuts...

half time on Thursday

No more comment

I liked it when he changed is name to TF2. I miss TF2.Dont think he has ever seen Halifax play outside of Halifax but always had an opinion. Hi Tony.

quite right too - he seems an honourable guy and someone fully deserving of the fans support.



similar to 'our' Carlos in many ways

Having spoken To my Dad and brother who have just got back from Toulouse I am shocked at just how hot it was it was 38c so I take back what I said and now understand why the team faded in the 2nd half. Good win in very difficult conditions.

38c at kick off time? Im no weather man but i do find that a little bit difficult to believe.

Just returned home from France , really enjoyed the trip, great craic amongst the fans, shame there was only eleven of us.

Hopefully the team will now turn the corner with their return to winning ways.
